About Me
Figured I was long overdue to update this. I've been a member here since Oct.'07. I came here in the midst of a seperation looking for support. What I found was so much more. I have found long lasting friendships and support not only for my divorce, but for everything else in life. There are some wonderful people here, and DS will always be a part of my life. I have come so far since first joining. The lessons I have learned have been priceless. I have a long history with clinical depression, but have learned to love and enjoy life every single day. Life is a journey. And I certainly don't want to sit and watch on the sidelines. I want to live life to the fullest. I now enjoy waking up in the mornings. Okay, almost. lol Life is a game. You are either a winner or loser in it. I want to be one of the few that gets it and wins. I have learned to take care of myself emotionally, mentally, and now physically. I have now joined a gym and am addicted! I have a long ways to go, but am continuing to learn more every day and loving it. I am a single mom to four beautiful children - 13, 8, 6, and 5. 2 boys, 2 girls. I am a very social person and enjoy making new friends. I work from home and stay active. And last - There's a saying I heard a little while back that helped me change my life. A question was asked, "Is your life working for you the way it is right now? If it's not, then CHANGE IT!!!" And that's how it is. It's only up to you to change your life. And so my journey continues...

Interests
My kids come first and foremost as far as anything! My 2 boys are 13 and 8, and my girls are 6 and 5. They keep me going and drive me crazy all at once! lol (And you all know what I'm talking about!) I love psychology, photography, flowers and gardening, decorating, sports, football, volleyball, the gym and exercise, sitting on my back porch with a good cup of coffee, good conversation, non-judgmental people, my soaps (I blame it all on my mama!), good movies, and having fun!
