Challenges….

Each morning I receive a message in my e-mail from The Universe, today’s was especially powerful, and simple…..The reason for all challenges, Linda, is so that you can finally learn that none are bigger than you.

Those of you that follow my blog, or who know me personally know that we were about to have our grandboys, and my son live with us.That has changed.
My son has his own journey, and his own challenges.

My lesson has been not to become an enabler.

Our hope is that he will choose to live near us, that we will be a support for he and the boys.

My other lesson has been, that Tough Love, does not become less painful for anyone.

I also know first hand the importance of boundaries,because when life presents you with painful decisions to make, if you have taken the time and effort to define where your boundaries lie, that is what will get you through those first moments, hours, or days, of despair, that knowingness of what you can live with, what you cannot, and what the outcome will bring when you put the boundary in place.

Thank-you all for your sweet, dear messages of love, Facebook, was a comfort to me last week, who knew??

Ludmil and I are rich beyond measure in so very many ways, and we are grateful.

On a lighter note, you will find us at the Houston Urban Market, May 14/15…. hope again that we see your smiling faces.. Love Linda

Beth Leintz - Linda, Your positive attitude through challenging times is such an inspiration. When facing a situation I don’t like, my Mom always told me “these things have a way of working out”- it’s a pretty simple statement, but it’s usually true. Best to you, Beth

Joy - Hello Linda,

I first read about you and your husband years and years ago. I don’t remember what decorating magazine the article was in, but you told of how you and Ludmil met. I’ve seen and read things about the both of you over the years, and one thing I have always admired about the two of you is that you are still married and seemingly, still best friends. I am so glad you are both still experiencing great success with your original designs and ideas. It’s heartwarming to hear of a married couple who’s ideas mesh together so well. So sorry to hear of your son’s family situation, but it sounds as if, you are looking for and embracing the sunshine through the tears. We do what we have to and what we can, don’t we? I did read the article about your place in Romantic Country Home… I’m sure the former pink rooms will be a smashing success in blue! You and your family are on a new ‘adventure’. God can work miracles in our lives; put your trust in Him when you realize you can’t do it all on your own. Have a wonderful Texas-Sized day!
