Good morning Julie, Much of “A Real Ballbuster” stood out to me. Two in particular come to mind right now.
You wanted to keep your children, Brindsley and Delaney, in the loop. With lovingkindness you judged what they could comprehend, as well as live with, regarding their dad’s status. At the same time you kept their routines as typical as possible.
For your own well being, you continued your love and devotion to your life mate so you both would carry on. In sickness and in health. Wisely you cared for yourself, continuing your joyful runs and by making time for stretches, nerve flossing, and meditation. That you provided to your readers, at the end of every chapter, instances of your daily practice to “try on for size” was both kind and helpful.
And before I close, I admired your wisdom and efforts to maintain your community of family and friends. That kept the door open for their help as well as allowing their energy to support you and your entire family. A wise safeguard against “I can and must do everything” thinking and behavior.
With “A Real Ballbuster” successfully launched, are you considering any book tours to raise awareness of your work? With summer coming that could be a “two-fer.” Adventures for your kiddos and promotion of your book!?
Healing as a family can be a book in itself. Continuing to pray for all of you as you heal into a strength of spirit and soul that perhaps you never knew you had. Hold each others' hearts. ❤️. I haven't read the book yet but am looking forward to doing so.
Jules, you took on the responsibility no one ever wants to assume. You did it with grace and dignity and courage. When G-d asked Moses to return to Egypt and free his people, he asked “ Why me”? No one ever feels they can handle such awesome burdens. Moses, like you, did it with G-d’s help.
May you and your precious family continue to be blessed…♥️

All the best, always. To you and yours.
