I was working on my data analysis homework when Sade’s song came on the radio and I instantly thought of my husband. I had to stop what I was doing and share this because if I’ve learned one thing in the last 24 hours is that some thoughts are so fleeting and cause such a stir of emotion, sometimes it’s important to stop and take a moment to share it, whether it’s writing it down to share at a later time, or in moments like this, share it now.

Last night my husband and I had a beautiful conversation, one of those intimate husband and wife moments where you truly allow yourself to be vulnerable and to not let shame trap your emotions/thoughts within for fear of feeling embarrassed. I am thankful to God that we had that moment and that we allowed ourselves to be vulnerable because these insightful talks are essential for our relationship.
