A Work in Progress & Progressively Working

Friends, 

Through all the grief đŸ˜˘ support systems & tools I’ve been leaning into since Jamey’s passing, one of the things I keep reading / hearing about is that it can be helpful to channel your hurt, anger, & bewilderment into something positive. Well, in the truest form of love, I think Jamey, knowing that already, put things into motion, before he left me, that would not only help others, but help me too. By standing up the Hollingsworth CRC Awareness Fund (HCRCA) he not only actively modeled the second greatest commandment in Matthew 22: 39 “…You shall love your neighbor as yourself” but by asking me & the girls & his dear, dear friends to champion his vision & see it through, he is, from heaven, not only actively saving others from his fate, but saving me from an abyss of negativity & loss. Words really can’t express (though I do tend to speak & write a lot them đŸ˜‚) how therapeutic it’s truly been to feel like I/we, with God’s blessing, have the power to turn our nightmare into good for someone else.

     (Genesis 50:20 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”)

 Tuesday night the HCRCA board met, & it filled my heart to see all the good work we are all working on together. We have so many events & message campaigns in the works, it’s truly flabbergasting, & I know Jamey would be proud. (He might also have a few opinions & tweaks he’d make, but …) I won’t hit you with a long list of things to come, but I will leave you with two things.

  1. If you are in the Birmingham area, or within proximity & would like to enjoy a fun night out for a good cause, Uber over & join me & the other HCRCA board members on 11/17 for the Iron Bowl Kickoff Casino Cruise. This year I’m the Honorary Women’s Committee Chair, & while my date is in heaven this year, I’d love to have as many friends who are able, to come & keep me company. 
  2. Please watch & share this < 3-minute video with everyone you know between the ages of 40 – 55. 

Until next week, I remain a work in progress & progressively working.
