My name is Kari. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt. I have a congenital heart defect and a pacemaker but I am not weak. I am kind, forgiving and love unconditionally but I am not a pushover. I am not easily offended but I don’t tolerate disrespect, abuse or the inconsideration of others. I take my role as a wife and mother very seriously and my family is my priority. I am a fighter, a survivor, a dreamer, a romantic; however, I am not perfect and have my own failings. I struggle everyday with depression and anxiety and yet I persevere because I must. Writing helps me fill the voids in my life. It is in this expression that I reconnect with myself and feel peace.
Sometimes I just sit and think. I think about where life has taken me and where life will lead me. I marvel at the sky, the vast unknown that beholds the immensity of the universe. In such a phenomenal space, we observe such greatness, such splendor. It is in this wonder that we find ourselves, our purpose and our grandeur. Our lives are filled with happiness, disappointments, triumphs and trials and we continuously push through the bad to get to the good whenever possible. We learn, we grow and we shape our lives with every experience. We are imperfect but not easily defeated. In these experiences, somehow the universe knows just what we need at any given time; it shows us just how beautiful life can be anywhere on the horizon.
We are the weed that grows in the cracks of the sidewalk; hardy, thriving even in the greatest of odds. Although life has moments of intense pain and sorrow it can also be amazingly beautiful and happiness is just a corner unturned. Turn your corner.
