Disclaimer: Spoiler Alert to Family & Friends

Many of my blog posts are inspired by my personal journals full of memories and life experiences from my perspective alone. While I’ve attempted to leave out names, details, dates, and many personal details concerning my memories, you still may recognize yourself among my writing of events, memories, and maybe descriptions of people that you know. If so, I can assure you that wasn’t intentional. If I fail to disguise something properly, or if my writing hurts you in some way, I’ll say it now, I’m so sorry. There’s no intent here to harm anyone and so I hope for none in return.
It’s risky to share my personal life so publicly, I know, but Im sharing because I care about so many women who are also hurting from similar life circumstances and experiences, who have questions about God and their own lives, and may be floundering in their faith. I think they deserve some help. I hope my sharing helps them. Maybe my sharing will help you as well. I’d like to think so.
If you know me, or know some of my family (many of whom have already passed away), or friends, then read these posts at your own risk with plenty of tissues close at hand. Especially my posts entitled “Remembering Rachel” about my daughter, Rachel Ufford (Lloyd) who passed away recently in 2020. These posts may cause you to cry as much as I have while writing them.
I hope my memories encourage you instead of hurt you. I hope my sharing helps you heal from any hurt that surfaces in your life because of my writing. If you can apply grace to my failures from sharing things you can’t accept, don’t agree with, or want kept private, then Thank you. I appreciate that. I appeal to your grace and mercy.
If you can’t ignore or excuse what’s written here, then I ask you to appeal to God to correct me, and know that He will. He always has, and He always does.

With grace, and mercy, and courage…..Please read on.

Sincerely, Susan

P.S. If you are family and friends, and there are stories you’d consider sharing, you can contact me, PM me, and if it’s appropriate, and we agree, perhaps we can post your story here sometime. Maybe, no promises. A great deal of trust is necessary both ways.
