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.

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
