Life Changes. You Can, Too.

There was a time when I felt as though I was carrying the weight of the world. (Sometimes I still feel that way!) I was going through a lot of major life changes: a divorce, attending college, homeschooling my sons, and trying to find my way through financial struggles and personal challenges that seemed to pile up faster than I could handle them.

Finding Hope When Life Gets Hard

I was exhausted. I was angry. And I knew there had to be more to life than simply getting through one difficult day after another.

I’ve always held on to a belief I carried with me from childhood: that being a good person and doing good things matters. Life hasn’t always rewarded that belief in the ways I once expected or hoped for, but I haven’t let it go.

How Rewrite Your Life Story Began

I started a tiny blog called Rewrite Your Life Story (about 15 years ago) to share what I was learning along the way and to help others who were carrying more than their share of life’s burdens. I wanted people to know that even when life feels impossibly heavy, there can still be hope, new possibilities and a way forward.

Intrinsic Vicissitude grew from that tiny blog and that same belief. It’s a place for honest conversations about life’s challenges, ideas that might help you navigate them, and reminders that your story isn’t over just because a chapter has been difficult.

Your Story Isn’t Over

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to pretend everything is fine. You just need room to believe that something more is possible.

Wherever life finds you today, there’s always room for a new beginning.
