Learning Curve



As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine, but finding the time, finding the bravery, and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way, but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog. I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger, fear of what friends and family would think, and most of all fear of letting myself down. But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve.

Ideally this blog will move from a personal blog to a lifestyle blog where I share the million things that go through my head daily. I want to be in prayer constantly and I want to follow the Lord in my post. I want this to be a place where I not only share where the Lord has moved in my life, but also for you as the reader/friend share where the Lord has moved in yours. I want to share the beauty but also the struggles that are motherhood. I want to write about our journey of being dairy free and the recipes that we find through it. I want to share my fitness journey and the new passion of the gym. I want to share all of this and so much more! 

So as part of the learning curve I am changing the name of this beautiful blog that holds our stories. Lace in Denver captured my heart immediately following our wedding. Our wedding was filled with delicate pieces of lace everywhere and it created this softness, this classic feeling. When I chose this name I needed this place to hold the softness in our crazy journey of life in Denver, and it did. Since then we have made Colorado our permanent home. We have purchased a home in Littleton and I no longer need this to be a soft place. I need this to be a place to share once again the beautiful struggles of life, so that is this. 

Welcome to Beautiful Struggles, hope you enjoy the learning curve.

It's a Family Tradition

"Traditions are behaviors and actions that you engage in again and again – regular rituals that you perform at the same time and/or in the same way. Traditions can be big or small, but they differ from routines and habits in that they are done with a specific  purpose  in mind and require  thought  and  intentionality . Meg Cox, the author of  The Book of New Family Traditions , defines family ritual as “any activity you purposefully repeat together as a family that includes  heightened attentiveness  and  something extra that lifts it above the ordinary ruts .” Traditions, when done right, lend a certain magic, spirit, and texture to our everyday lives." Brett and Kate McKay As we approach the wonderful holiday season my heart begins to journey  back to childhood memories and the family traditions that make those memories so perfect. I come from a large family filled with lots of cousins, tons of laughter, and of course many tradit...

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...

Remembering November

Well, hello there November, and yes I am aware that it is November 3rd and well I should have written this three days ago, but anyway  November has always been one of my absolute favorite months, for well the obvious, Thanksgiving, fall decorations, and MY BIRTHDAY! Which is in two days, I'm like V for Vendetta REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER. All of these awesome things are reasons to absolutely adore November, however two years ago November also developed a very different feeling.  November 10th will mark the two year anniversary since Kaleb's accident. And though I will always love November I now have a heavy heart as we fast approach that day. It is as though every birthday will in some odd way be a reminder of my 21st which is what I was celebrating when I received the phone call that forever changed our lives. Every Thanksgiving as joyous and wonderful as it will be will also remind me of the saddes...
