“It's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes -- that's why you sometimes need really special shoes!”

I thought  I was living when in fact, it was just sleep walking. At the current time in my life, I am 30. One angel baby. One soon to be divorce. I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER! I know that in life you will bump your head, you will go through situations that you don't think you can live through. I have never felt this self aware. I know exactly what I want and what I want to do with my life. I look back and laugh and see that a struggling  miserable marriage kept me just about the surface. Why was I struggling to stay unhappy? Why was I praying, fighting for happiness in a chaos fueled world?

A friend recently gave me some wise advice. Your spouse is supposed to compliment you. Why should anyone have to change for anyone? They should embrace who you are. 

and of course, when it gets to overwhelming (physical and emotionally) there needs to be a break. Or in my case, the break lead to divorce and I got my sanity back. Sure, I'm divorced but like many of the other hats I wear in life... It doesn't define me. 

This year is going to be about getting back to me. I had to hide myself to compliment my husband, when I know God wants me to be me. Everything He got me through I'm going to use. My quirks. My heartbreaks. My passion. My compassion. Flaws & All. Here's...to living life after heartbreak. No matter what broke your heart. 

This my journey. One Step at a time.

First pair of pre-divorce heels I spoiled myself with. Not only are they sexy but comfy.
