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 […]
My house was in contract, and I now had 6 weeks until I was moving back to Ohio. I was excited about going back to the US, and leaving Canada. I was done with Calgary. But fear also struck and struck large. I would now be moving across the continent, and driving with my 85 […]

The idea of coaching stayed in my mind. One day in February, I decided to research it, and found that a coaching program was starting soon at the University of Calgary, with Newfield Network. I called the university, spoke to the right person, and I decided to jump in. I signed up for the course. […]
With the whole Anthony Weiner/Huma Abedin news breaking this week, it is bringing cheating, affairs, and betrayed wives back into the news cycles. What really gets me is how people are judging her. I have already heard…Why didn’t she leave him sooner? How could she pick someone like him? Their sex life must not have […]
My thoughts on Cheating have been all over the map as I have started traveling on this journey. I have always believed that another woman’s man is totally off limits. Totally.
