This story amazes me. It's about an ordinary woman, and an ordinary heartbreak, and ordinary disappointment. I use the word, "ordinary" to refer only to the universality of love and betrayal and loss. But it turns out that she is not ordinary at all.
A month and a half before her planned wedding, she found out (in a rather interesting way) that her fiance was cheating on her. What she did next shows what an extraordinarily pragmatic, positive, generous person Kyle Paxman is. I'm so inspired by her ability to confront unpleasant facts and use her creativity to turn things around the best way she knew how.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your houseempty of it's furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
~ Rumi
