Be Extraordinary

It was as if I could not absorb enough on the topic and I crave more and more knowledge of it.

Quick summary

After losing her partner and then close friends who helped her heal, Jolene turned to her studies and experienced a profound awakening. She found herself craving knowledge with an insatiable hunger that transformed her grief into growth.

There has been a lot that has happen to been it the last several years. When my partner died suddenly in front of me almost a year ago I was shattered and lost. A friend and his wife took me under their wing and I slowly went though the process of grief and healing. I was constantly being challenged to be strong by him and not give up and to succeed. By the time fall came and my birthday I was feeling good and happy and strong. Then the day after my birthday my world was shattered yet again. Even though I was friends with the wife she felt threatened and he was put in a position of choosing and of course it was his wife and marriage. There was nothing going on but that wasn’t the issue. With the sudden lost of them as a major part of my life I turn to what I had started studying and it was as if blinders were remove from my eyes and I could finally see the truth and I was awaken. Then it was as if I could not absorb enough on the topic and I crave more and more knowledge of it.
