This month I am aware of the 'cele-dread' mindset that creeps up on me.  It's October.  Two years ago this month, Mom received her diagnosis of advanced stages of cancer in her body. Seven weeks later she was home with her Lord - and my Dad!  I don't plan to be impacted by grief, but sometimes it creeps up on me and leaks out through my eyes rather intensely.  During 2023, my whole being rather fell apart.  My body, heart, mind, and spirit needed space and time to 'recalibrate' everything I had experienced in 2022.  There were some pretty dark days and I could not 'manage' all of it at once.  Here I am two years later still feeling the effects of all the ups and downs. 

But one thing I can do - I S.N.A.P!   This simple 4-step process became a prayer of sorts, even on the hardest of days.
