“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you to where you want to go, no one else”

-Les Brown

Do what makes you happy

Life changed.

Married with a son. Great job. Beautiful home. Boat. New cars. Everything looked perfect from the outside. It wasn’t, and rarely is. Physical, mental, and verbal abuse from a cheating alcoholic and I finally had enough. I left. I knew I had to, but leaving everything behind was HARD.

I fell apart.

I went through some serious depression. Gained 70lbs. I hated not being married; I hated my ex-husband. I hated missing everything I built in my previous life. It was harder than I ever thought. I dated, fell into familiar patterns, always searching to be “good enough.” I was a mess, at least I felt that way.

I’m healing.

After a failed relationship, I realized I had some things I needed to deal with. I needed to find myself again and actually HEAL. So that’s what is here, my journey back to myself. A project. Somewhere to put my thoughts. The good, the bad, the healing.
