“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger….stand a little taller… Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone”.
You know how people talk after being through a terrible storm like a tornado? Even though everything has been destroyed they are grateful to be alive, reflect on what they did during the worst of the storm and have hope about the future. Coming through a painful divorce is similar. You wake up one day, realize you made it through, and start dreaming about the future knowing you get to start over.
My life is full. I have been blessed in so many ways. I have traveled to some amazing places, I have met some lovely people both male and female that has transposed me, I love my job, and I have had many firsts and lasts with my three amazing daughters.
I love to travel. Since my divorce I have been to London, Australia, the Carolina’s, New York, Florida, California, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama and the Bahamas….. Each place is filled with fun memories that will live in my heart.
I have swam with the dolphins in the middle of the sea, I have driven on the other side of the road……I have driven the California Free Ways (and survived). It has opened my eyes to the magnificent world that is out there. So where next? Italy, Africa, Sweden? Who knows but I am ready.
God has brought me many wonderful friends. There is one true friend who is my best friend, my confidant and a second mom to my daughters. Her family has welcomed us and we feel part of their family. If I was to pass into the kingdom tomorrow, I know she would be there for my daughters. This woman depicts the woman I want to be. She is filled with the Holy Spirit. She is kind, loving, strong and would give her last dime to help. She is the person I turn to for the celebrations and the agony of defeat. She is the woman who guides me to be a better person. She is my “sister loved by God”. Every day, I thank the Lord for bringing this woman into my life.
One of my male friends has also become a close and lasting friend. He is married so there are boundaries to our relationship but I can openly say I love him. He has taught me so much about myself and what I want in my next relationship. Through him, I have learned to dream about having a partner that lives life
