My Story

Ten years ago my life as I knew it came crashing down. All at once, quite suddenly, the marriage I knew and adored was shattered. It was shock and awe. One day I knew my life as one thing, and the next day it was completely different. I wanted to repair it, but sometimes that’s not an option and it wasn’t an option for us. Betrayal happened, heartbreak happened, hard work happened, defeat happened, healing started, rebuilding began, and restoration paved the way for a beautiful future. The future I speak of is the life I find myself in now, remarried to a wonderful man with two children of our own, co-parenting my daughter with my former husband and his wife.

My writing encompasses the years from then to now and I cover every emotion in the book. Starting from square one as a single mama to our one-year-old baby girl. Grieving every detail of my former life. Triggers that I’ve healed from and triggers that still get me. Dating, remarriage, and how to delicately mesh the past with the present. Swallowing my pride and co-parenting with the ones who’ve hurt me deeply for the greater good of our sweet girl. And, what has helped me through it all.

I tell my version of the story which is the only one I am qualified to tell. It’s the one I know and the one I’ve polished. The one I pray will give you a glimmer of hope for life on the other side of divorce.
