Ran into ex’s close friend

I ran into my ex’s closest and oldest friend today.  Hadn’t seen him in years.  I thought it had been 30 years, he said more like 10.  Whatever.  It was actually really great to see him.  After all the hi’s and I can’t believe it’s, he said he was sorry to hear what happened and […]

Forgiveness…ugh!

I think I am doing great.  I know I am doing well.  I am coming up to 5 years of finding out about the affair and having my now ex walk out of my life.  I am creating a wonderful life.  I get a lot of inspiration and learning from books.  Last week I was […]

Gratitude List A-Z

Here is my A-Z Gratitude List.  I invite everyone to join the game. It has been interesting, to find something to be grateful for with each letter.  It is making me think outside the box, looking deeper into myself and my world to find the gratitude.  I regularly practice gratitude, but often it I keep […]

A is for Affair

I am in a yoga gratitude challenge this month at my yoga studio.  Along with 16 yoga practices this month, we are asked to practice daily gratitude.  One suggestion is to write a gratitude A-Z list, for each letter of the alphabet find something you feel real gratitude for. So I began.  A.  The first […]

I’m Back

I haven’t written for quite some time.  Not sure why.  My excuse is time, but that is really only an excuse.  Maybe habit?  I just got out of the habit?  Or maybe I just got lazy.  Doesn’t really matter.  I am back now and ready to continue to share my story.  It has been almost […]

No, you have no right to grab me

I didn’t really want to get into politics, but with all the latest revelations out there, I now feel lead to have my say.  I find the “grab them by the p#*%y” absolutely despicable.  No, no one has the right to grab me in my private parts, to cop a feel, to push their desires […]

October

“There is something beautiful and revitalizing about October.  When the leaves fall the world is surrendering.  Letting go of pieces and parts that can no longer serve in a positive way.  Trees hold strong to their core and survive the storms; but every good tree knows that as time goes by, the leaves come back […]

Learning a Big Lesson

I hurt a friend deeply by saying something I should not have.  We were out drinking and carrying on and I did something stupid.  But that is not an excuse.  I own my bad behavior and feel just terrible about it.  One huge thing I have gotten from this journey after the betrayal is to […]
