Has life ever pushed you to your emotional limits?
If so, you probably already know that surviving a crisis can be a positive turning point in your life.
This week’s post is by Melissa Dinwiddie, who writes about what she calls “the liberation of a breakdown.”
Here’s an excerpt:
It’s disheartening when everything you’ve worked hard to build tumbles down like a castle made of children’s blocks, and it’s scary to start down a new path.
Along with the fear, though, was an incredible sense of possibility. It was exhilarating! I didn’t know exactly where I was going, but the fact that I was no longer stuck in a rut brought my zest for life back.
Sometimes things have to fall apart in order to fall together.

Haven’t read the article yet but ohmygosh I KNOW Melissa Dinwiddie! She’s a fellow calligrapher. I’m on the East Coast and she’s on the West Coast and we’ve never met in person but what are the chances of a guest column on your blog by someone I’ve known and admired for years?? She specializes in Ketubot, Jewish marriage contracts. A wonderful letterer and artist!!
How cool is THAT, Miss Maura? The world is getting smaller all the time. I’m glad to be a connecting link in a chain of good feelings.
Thank you Tina -)
Thanks for visiting, Su!
