Greetings Friends and Family,
For the past half hour I've been sitting here trying to write a witty or inspiring blog letter and I'm just not feeling it. There has been as much backspace to delete as there has been typing. So in lieu of sharing some deep thoughts I will instead give you the latest life metaphor I've had rolling around in my brain for a week or so.
Life is like playing Candy Crush.
(Yes, I play. No, not obsessively.)
Each level is a learning experience. It offers new and different challenges than the previous. Sometimes the pieces fall in just the right way and we easily move on to whatever is next. Other times we just keep replaying the same experience until we gain a new perspective and finally see what we have to do to make the pieces fall together correctly so that we can move forward. And sometimes in order to gain that new perspective it takes an explosion (wiping out a few rows in Candy Crush terms) which can be jarring but is ultimately necessary to get us to see things differently.
On a side note, I think it would be nice if in life there was a voice over that would say "Sweet" or "Delicious" when we make a good decision. And when we clear a life level if a sign popped up that said "Wonderful. Level Complete." A little encouragement goes a long way.
Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
