Learning to life again

This year has been a real challenge for me. I am now divorced for the second time.

This marriage started out with such praise and hope for a wondrous and blessed life. My second husband was my high school sweetheart. With all the things I had gone through, not only with the first husband, but being a single parent and dealing with the normal hardships of rearing children, I thought I had at last found my soul-mate and a partner.

I was wrong to say the very least. At the moment I am working with healing from a major betrayal. I don't want to go into specifics, but my entire world was decimated by this relationship. The lessons and skills that I have gained form my work as a healer, plus the kindness of a very small group of life long friends was the only thing that kept me going.

My children are both of legal age, thank heavens, otherwise I don't know how I could have been able to survive at all. And to tell you the truth, there were many days I prayed that I would never wake up...and was highly disappointment when I did.

Right now, I am relearning how to live life, one day at a time. I have a service dog to help with the anxiety, stress, and depression. And I am reviewing my entire life and leaving out things that don't serve and adding things that bring me joy.

This site will be changing yet again. I don't get on here enough for blogging but I have been writing short stories and I want a place to post them as well as updates on what is going on with me.

Thanks,

A New Beginning and the Start to Healing

I haven't been online is such a long time. I didn't even know if I would be back. Blogging isn't something that I long to do, but as I get older I am starting to see what a wonderful tool it is for growth and healing. And it also help strengthens a writers ability to produce good work. So, if you were wondering if I was going to write a book, the answer is yes.

The book that I am writing has been in the works for over 30 years, I just found reasons not to write, but miracles do happen and I re-united with one of mine this past weekend. The joy that is within me now, has been gone for so long I forgot what it felt like to be truly happy.

Well, here I am ready to start this new chapter in my life, and ready to finally heal some of the wounds that I have carried for way too long.

Thank you God for whatever this turns out to be. The gaping hole that was left in my spirit all those years ago is full of appreciation, gratitude, and love. Thank you.
