Hi friends,

Happy to be back with you today! As the title alludes, this originally was going to be a post about preserving through difficult times, but then I realized, to my surprise, it wasn’t about perseverance at all.

I won’t go into full detail, but in my doctor’s words while I’m lying on the surgical table were, “everything just went south.” Definitely not the encouraging words I was hoping to hear.
