It’s been three years since I last published an article to this site. A lot has happened in my life since then, and here I am finally with a moment of quiet (minus the dog barking to be let inside).
I was able to finally get the website fixed so it looks normal. I have a howestherly.com sticker on my car and it makes me wonder how many people have actually visited the site only to find it embarrassingly disabled.
I went back and read the last article posted, and it is fitting. Three years later, Simone Biles is back in the Olympics. She is once again the darling of gymnastics, but now she is married and better than ever at her sport.
I’m thankful that post from three years ago aged so well. I’m thankful this woman, Simone Biles, is not some dried up addict on the page of the tabloids, like so many other famous women we once adored. On the contrary, Simone appears to be thriving and exemplifies the beauty and strength of womanhood.
While there is other controversial news surrounding the 2024 Paris Olympics, I do not intend to write about that. Instead, I’m going to offer thanks to God that the prayers for Simone were seemingly answered and she is thriving. I am also thanking God for giving me fresh eyes for this project that I have loved but often takes a backseat. I am thanking God to be writing again.
Love to you, Jill
