Hello & Welcome !
My husband and I have had extraordinary lives. More than we ever could have imagined. We have had life changing experiences that have caused us to truly live in a better way now.
Many people have been interested in what we have to say about it. It has been one of the greatest joys of our lives to share what we know. And so, we decided to start sharing some of it here.
We've each experienced a divorce in our prior marriages, long-term infertility, and many other challenging experiences that life brings. But we've also experienced deliverance in ways we never knew was possible. We've learned how to be really, really happy & at peace no matter what our circumstances might be. We hope this blog can be a great resource for anyone interested. If we can be of inspiration to just one, this effort will be worth it to us.
With Love,
Danny & Mara

I kind of wish I was the first comment on your blog, but I can settle for 2nd place. You are both fantastic, we will be anxiously anticipating further posts.

Wonderful! Communication is always great! I look forward to this inspiring development, even though I probably won't say much.
ReplyDeleteI've always found you inspiring, Mara and I can't wait to read more. You are an amazing women and though I have only met Danny twice I am certain he is amazing too! Much love to you both!
ReplyDeleteP.S.- if Danny will be posting recipes, may I suggest that he starts with Trounce Trash? :)
You have already taught me so much. I am so excited to learn more about forgiving and loving and finding peace in life. It can be done! I appreciate you sharing your experiences. What a wonderful couple you are!I love you both.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog idea :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new blog!
ReplyDeleteI've read the 3 current posts and they're all lovely. Can't wait to read more. And that image of you two in the parking lot (the top one on this post) is my favorite! So great.
Erin - Trounce Trash will be coming up! :)
ReplyDeleteGabrielle - I kinda have a thing for that photo, too. Thanks so much!
Everyone - You are wonderful. Thanks for the lovely comments!
Mara...we were hallmates our first year, and I have fond memories of your smiling face and peaceful spirit. How happy I am that you have found such authentic joy in the midst of your life's experiences. May you and your husband be blessed, and thank you for sharing with us! Kelly Templeman Gobble
ReplyDeleteFound your blog via Design Mom! Congrats again on your happy marriage, Danny, I'm so happy you both found each other.
ReplyDeleteI heard you today on KBYU's Thinking Aloud. Already a little inspired!
ReplyDeleteCame across your blog through Pinterest. After reading a couple entries I'm hooked & had to start from the beginning. This will be taking over my book reading at night & I'm sure I will learn things about myself & changes I need to make along the way!
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that I read through every single one of the letters on this blog. You guys gave me so much hope to not worry now about love in my future. It's so important to be happy NOW, and to expect and cherish the unexpected!
ReplyDeletemy sister just sent me your blog link saying i would love reading it. i immediately recognized your picture (at least you look familiar, if nothing else), but i was wondering if you used to live in mesa, az? i think we went to jr high together....
ReplyDeleteYou guys sure made a difference on a Brazilian girl's life!
ReplyDeleteI'm still delighted, amazed, surprised, impressed... It's hard to describe how glad I am to have met you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your beautiful inspiring words. I'll never forget you and the example you represent.
Beijos,
Lígia

Thank you...since finding this blog yesterday I have been just hanging around...hanging around because it speaks to my heart...has given me hope--just in the few posts I have read--today I even have used a few posts to create an action plan, a plan which I hope will perpetuate more hope and joy in my life--it's complete with classes {yours} and a reading list:) I am such a dorky student.
