    • About Me

      A single mom of 3 ( 13, 10 and 6)trying to start her life all over again. Went through a divorce, lost a home, lost a job...yeah, its been tough. BUT, am getting through it each day. It takes time, but god has seen me through so far!!! AS you may see, my friends list seems to be growing. I have an open door to those who need a friend. I rarely turn anyone away as I know someday they may need a friend to talk to or maybe I may too.This world is way too big and life way to short not to reach out to others.People ask me why I try so hard to reach out, well...why doesn't everyone try hard? WE ARE ALL ON THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER, SO WHY NOT INTRODUCE OURSELVES TO EVERYONE....

    • Close Life After Divorce

      I am a single mom of 3 who after 15 years of being with a man, divorced him because I could no longer take his controlling ways. I know I was not perfect, but I tell you I know I didn't deserve half the crap he put me through. Starting over has been tough...I was a stay at home mom for many years and now I find myself in a whole new life style.I must admit having to face the unknown of the future scares me alot.

    • Close Loneliness

      I feel so sad that all my friends live so far from me and my only way of contacting them is through internet or phone. I miss having someone near me that I feel comfortable enough to open up to. Everyone seems to be friends with my ex in this town and they pretty much think I am the bad person in my divorce. It is sad they think that since not one of them has taken the time to get to know me. What ever happened to just listening to another without judgement?

      Patience Working / Worked
      When I was still married, my then husband and I rarely ahd sex. Part of our issue was that one, we never talked about it much, two, I had physical pain issues that kept my desires away and all the problems caused alot of damage in our relationship. Sure, my divorce was because of how he made me feel about myself, but I know that I should have tooken better care of that part of my life a little better as well..... so, hoping to regain a healthier attitude towards sex.
