THE BITTER AND THE SWEET

My family has been going through a rough time.  My grandma (my mother’s mother, who lives in England) has been seriously ill for a few months. On Easter Sunday, I super last minute ran to the airport and jumped on a plane to London with my mother.  We were there for a week, and my mom is back there again now.

Today, we received some devastating news about my grandma’s health.  Phrases like “fluid in the lungs” and “rare cancerous tumors” and “hospice care” have been texted and spoken and just oh my goodness, you guys.

My Grandma is sassy and funny and so wise.  She grew up in London and once seriously delayed lying on the ground to avoid a German bomb because she didn’t want to ruin her new aqua blue coat.  She talks about which celebrities have “dress sense” and how her maiden name is Knowles, like Beyonce.

Please pray for my grandparents–Iris and Bob. They’ve been together since they were 14 and 15.

 And now, for the sweet. 

In February, I met Brittany at the DFW Influence Network meet up.  I’m so thankful for this girl.

Her blog is adorable, and she is running a super cool series: The Ruby Project.  Brittany over-the-top blessed me a few months ago by asking if I would be a featured Ruby–um, yes please!!  She posted my Ruby feature today, and I’m incredibly humbled and grateful.  Brittany’s blog is one of my must-reads, and I think you’ll love it, too.
