Pursuit of Purpose Archives | Page 2 of 8 | LETTERS TO MY LITTLE SISTERS

I started searching for an old blog post on the meaning of "Home" that I wrote back in 2015 for the "Big Sister Program Pilot Group" Call tonight and got carried away peeking into the heart of 20-year-old Annabelle. So much has changed since then. So many things about me are different now. And so many things are about to change again. I floated down a river of old memories as I read my old reflections.

I was sitting on the living room floor picking sand grains out of my hair from the beach earlier, and Luke and Bernard sat on the couch, curled up with blankets as the cool night air blew in from the window behind them. At this point in the evening, we had already caught up on what was going on in our lives and our favorite TV shows - all of the simple stuff.
