These last few weeks have contained many difficult, isolating moments. I've felt lonely and overwhelmed. I'm guessing you have too. I've questioned how to keep moving forward when all I want to do is stop.

As Anna sang, the despair and grief I felt was palpable. I knew what she was talking about. I had been there. Life has felt so dark and overwhelming at times that I questioned if it would ever feel manageable and enjoyable again. But, as Anna continued to sing I felt hope stirring. I could feel her strength rising as she realized she could stand and take one step. She saw the way to move forward. She saw a way out. The light was visible! And she started to take steps to get there.
