There
is nothing charismatic about chronic
pain regardless of its source. Pain and
chronic illness are greedy and demanding. Either or both can consume our time, our
relationships, and our function. Chronic pain and
illness can rob us of our dignity if we let it. But, there are things we can
do, perspectives we can make that prepare us for the untold side effects of
living with daily pain and chronic invisible illness.
“Remember, no one can make you feel inferior
without your consent.”
~Eleanor

The winter season metaphorically offers time for our old thoughts
and destructive behaviors to die off. The barren land of winter uses the season
for rest, to lay sallow in preparation for the birth of spring. The books in
the Broken Body, Wounded Spirit series allows
us to go of old thoughts by offering daily thought prompts, exercises, and words of
inspiration, such as those in the above quote. Our readers are given tools to
fight the ogre of doubt that plays on our fear, agony, loneliness, and
resentment in the Winter Devotions edition.
Come with us as we walk the barren winter land, appreciating that
it is necessary to rid ourselves of previous conceptions in preparation for the
spring season of rebirth.
