Hi, actually wanted to thank you for sharing your journey, mine is s
imular, i divorced for the 2nd time 6years ago, I had the courage to
relocate only to come back to see my grandchild and now i have been dealing with my 3 adult children and their issues. I am now revamping my career, moving to another state and leaving their baggage behind. Trust me you are very courageous and you can tie up
those loose ends in your life by putting one foot forward, step by step somethimes we can’t do it all at once. So keep at it, just think if you stay stuck you will continue to be stuck. I am one who
has faith and who know’s you cannot mend everyone’s life so start and finish mending your own, may God richly bless you for you are the essence of all (women) be Blessed.

Thanks, Jill. Glad you found my blog interesting. I’m never sure if anyone will relate to what I’m talking about and I’m always surprised when you all do. Thanks for the support!

Susan, I just now found your blog! It’s so refreshing to read your posts because you are honest about your own life – and on the Internet yet! You are a true leader of women. So courageous. So down to earth. These are very troubling times we live, but it’s so wonderful to find your blog. I’ll be reading every post now.
Thanks,
Jill

Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback! It’s so good for all of us to know we’re not alone out there and that while our experiences are unique, we share a commonality that is universal.

Wow, Susan, congratulations. Sounds like you’re doing so well! There is a kind of affirmation I like to read often to remind myself of all the things you are pondering right now.

I know that all things are as they should be,
for me,
right now.
Each circumstance
and every situation
presents a new opportunity
to experience and express
a different aspect
of
who
and what
I am.
Thank You.
Amen

Oh, Susan, I have the same problem but in reverse! After 20 years of being single after my divorce, I have fallen in love with the man I have always hoped to find, but I’m terrified! Of commitment, changing jobs (changing states!), giving up my freedom and space, having to adapt to sharing, waking up in the morning to the same person….I try to see this major life transition as a journey for which I need time to adapt and aclimate; to readjust. But what a wonderful thing it is that we have options that weren’t even imaginable in our grandmothers’ day. That’s worth celebrating!
