I'll start here. With this picture. This picture was taken on January 6, 2015. One month and 6 days after my divorce became final and the day my ex-husband finally moved out of the house. Coincidentally, this is also the day, 46 years prior, as an infant of almost six weeks old, I was placed with amazing parents who would adopt me and raise me in a loving home. It's also the day of Epiphany. So, this date represents a day when life should be honored, cherished, and celebrated. We are given the job to live our life fully, deeply and with purpose. I will always remember this day. As I helped my ex pack the U-Haul trailer with everything he wanted to take with him to his new home to start his own life, all I could think about was finally beginning to live MY life on MY terms. I couldn't wait!
It's now a year and four months later and I'm finally putting this blog together. Maybe it will serve as 'notes' for a book I am to put together to help other women and men as they move through transition in their own lives. Perhaps its purpose is to be a diary of sorts for me to look back and be reminded of how much I've overcome and grown and the doubts or concerns I have at the moment will suddenly diminish to a digestible bite-size portion. For whatever reason I am being called to put this together, I'm sure its purpose will reveal itself in time. In the meantime, I'll just put this here for now and we'll see where it goes!
