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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
I actually didn’t even know if I would recognize him. When we talked about getting together, I asked if he just wanted to meet somewhere. He said no, he would pick me up. I was staying at my mother’s apartment. He texted me when he got there. I went down to meet him. It was […]

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 […]
I came to Columbus having no clue as to what I was going to do with my life or who I was going to be. After finding about the affair, him walking away, my trying to figure out what I was doing with my life in Calgary and finally leaving Calgary and driving across the […]
Yoga helped save me in my darkest hours. It was right after d-day, the day I found out my husband was having an affair, that I reventured into a yoga class. The teacher was a spiritual young man, not much more than 20, but calmness exuded from his being. I found a moment’s peace in […]
In the aftermath of the affair, my self-esteem was pretty much gone. I didn’t feel like a beautiful, sexual, wonderful, vibrant female, but rather like an old dried up hag. The thought of dating again scared the heck out of me. There was no way I wanted to get hurt again. And I felt like […]
