Doing HARD STUFF. We all end up having to do HARD STUFF even if we don’t want to. Sometimes we choose to do HARD STUFF. Other times HARD STUFF chooses us. Sometimes situations come our way and we just have to deal with it but it is so HARD! We can try to run away from the HARD STUFF but more HARD STUFF gets in our way. No matter what, HARD STUFF is never easy.
Some people call HARD STUFF challenges or life’s bumps or trials and tribulations. I call it HARD STUFF.
We all go through HARD STUFF but it’s what happens to us when it’s all done. We have changed. Hopefully changed for the better. It’s how we deal with the HARD STUFF that will make us or break us.
In the last 5 years here are some of the my HARD STUFF…
- After 10yrs as a stay at home mom, I found myself a single mom pregnant with 4 kids and no full time job
- In about 5 months I fund raised a 2 week trip to California & Disneyland for my 4 children & I
- I went back to school full time to get my masters as a single mom with 5 kids, working part time
- After my divorce was finalized I gave online dating a try
- I met a man who married me and my 5 children
- I got a full time job after 15 years of being a SAHM or working part time
- 9 months into our marriage, 3 months into my new full time job we took in my sister-in-law’s 3 day old baby girl and 14 month old boy as foster children
I created this blog to share my personal HARD STUFF that I’ve gotten through to help all to find HOPE and keep moving FORWARD on this journey called LIFE. Come on this journey with me.
Much love and aloha,
Ruth Iaela-Pukahi 🙂
