New Year musings

Ended the year with my favorites! So blessed to have my dad here visiting for a week. Hopefully by next year, we’ll have more room for you Grandpa Ken, but either way you’re welcome anytime.

I’m excited for the changes that 2023 has in store and I’m so thankful to be ending 2022 with a measure of peace that I’ve never experienced before. 

It’s been a long journey working on re-learning who I am and what I need to be the best version of myself, and I know that journey will never end but I’m happy to have found contentment and peace in the process.

Looking forward to less social media in the year ahead and more real life connections. Coffee dates, FaceTime, walks in nature or meetups at the gym, let’s connect irl (in real life) this year so we can truly know each other. 

Social media isn’t the full picture. I know from experience that I can make my life look amazing on the outside while on the inside I’ve felt like everything was crumbling around me. If you feel this way, you are not alone! Let’s do life together… the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between. 

I’m here doing life right along side you and I would love to connect on a deeper level. If you feel led, please reach out to me. And don’t be surprised to get random invites from me this year as well. I’m making an effort to step out of my comfort zone, push aside my fear of rejection and pursue relationships this year. Putting that commitment in writing here is my accountability to myself.

Here’s to a new year, new experiences, learning, growth, and connecting with those that are important to us 💕

How we got here…

Some of you have noticed that we moved. Some of you know that I bought a house. Some of you know I bought the house with my kids’ dad, my “wasband” of 5 years. Yup, you read that right! Me and the ex-husband purchased a home together. No, we are not getting back together. We have totally separate living spaces and it’s been so wonderful for the kids. Here’s how it started back in December. This is a page from my journal that I was looking back on.  It was my personal writing to myself that I feel led to share, so please be kind. The holidays are definitely a challenging time for me. Broken families, childhood, trauma, anniversaries of loss, along with the cold weather, short days, and little sunlight here in the PNW… It definitely challenges my mental health.  This will be my first winter without antidepressants in quite a while. I think I might have done one of the Mexico winters without pharmaceuticals, but other than that it’s been at least 11 or 12 years since I’ve been anti-depres

(I wrote this a month ago, but I’m just now finally brave enough to share it here. If you comment, please be kind.) I’ve probably taken 25 flights over the last year or so, and every time up until now I’ve thought that things would be better if the plane I was on just crashed, and I died, and Rob could collect the insurance money and hire a nice nanny to care for the kids and I could just go to heaven and be with Jesus instead of having to go through all the pain and hurt that comes with getting divorced. I know that this is completely selfish of me, and I would have never done anything to intentionally end my own life and leave my kids without a mother, but I honestly felt that death was the only way out of the situation I was in. I was not strong enough to leave my marriage, but it had become quite apparent that I was not strong enough to stay either.  Today I took off on an airplane, on one last solo trip before I become a single mom, and for the first time in over a year, I didn’t
