In the beginning...

Yesterday, I ended the day by making a decision to do what I know is the right thing but feels like I ripped my own heart out. 😭

Today, I made a decision that I am very uncertain of but it has me feeling like maybe there is a little hope for my financial future. 😊

Tomorrow, I'll have to make more decisions.  Good. Bad. Right. Wrong. I'll make each decision as it comes my way. Every choice we've ever made has brought us to where we are right now. We are all just doing the best we can to make more right decisions than wrong ones.

I love to write. Writing helps me to process things that are bouncing around in my mind. My writing is for me. I am choosing to share it with the world because I hope that some day it will help someone else.

I don't just write about the good stuff. I write about ALL the stuff. I used to blog quite often. A few years ago, I stopped because people close to me didn't understand what they were reading. It complicated my life in ways I just wasn't prepared for. I allowed the things that people in my life said to me to have more weight than my own needs. I made the decision to stop blogging. That was a mistake; a bad decision. Today I am choosing to make a different choice, a better choice for me,

If you choose to follow my blog, please know that there will be tough times. You will be joining me on this journey. You will see the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have no choice but to wake up and live it each day. Know that you have a choice. Feel free to turn back at anytime. Feel free to skip the parts that are too painful for you. I just ask that you keep an open mind about experiencing it all with me.

Another Month Flies By

Mr. Perfect-for-me came into my life and made me realize where all those metaphors, analogies & similes for love came from. I was struck by cupid’s arrow. I have absolutely fallen head over heels. He swept me off my feet. He is my other half, my better half. I could go on and on but I’m sure you get the idea. I don’t want anyone to think that I somehow made it to 41 years of age and got married twice without ever being in love. I have most definitely been in love before. This love feels different. Although the bible would usually be one of the last books that I would quote, I think it captured these last 2 months almost perfectly. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.  ~1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV) After just 2

Attraction

Attraction is a complicated thing for me. Normally, I meet someone and as I get to know them, I find them more and more attractive. Because of this, I have dated all over the looks spectrum. Tall, short, big, small, dark, light, male, female, younger, older, etc. Maybe a handful of times, i have looked at someone that is so physically attractive to me, that I find myself staring.  More often than not, I date men. The reason for this is partially because of where I live. Another reason is that I find confidence very attractive and there is nothing more intimidating to me than a confident a woman.  The other night I was out at karaoke with friends. I saw a woman out of the corner of my eye. I immediately turned my head in her direction to see what exactly caught my eye. I can't even begin to tell you what was being talked about at our table at that moment because all I could hear was the blood rushing in my ears. I spent the rest of the evening trying not to stare. I tried to pay att

One Year Ago

One year ago you came into my life. You were everything I thought I wanted. But I wasn't what you wanted. Unfortunately, it took you 5 months to tell me and another 4 to get out of my life. I kept hoping that your heart would change your mind.  How naive was I to think someone like you could possibly love someone like me?  How did I make it to 42 years old still believing in unconditional love? How did I make it through 2 divorces still believing in forever love? How did I survive 3.5 years of being used by strangers and still believe that someone could possibly want more from me than sex? Maybe those questions don't even matter. Maybe the better question is if I ever stop loving you, will I still be able to believe in unconditional, forever love. This morning, I woke up thinking of you. Throughout the day, you were never far from my mind. I know I'll still be thinking about you when I fall asleep tonight.  That's how it has been for the last week. Watching today coming
