I just realized, my wedding anniversary is this weekend. It’s hard to remember who I was all those years ago as I prepared to say “I do.” It’s hard to imagine who I’d be right now if things hadn’t turned out the way they did. Surely, I wouldn’t be writing this blog. And that causes me to reflect…
Things I’ve done since my divorce that I (probably) would not otherwise have done:
- Bought a house (by myself)
- Finished my bachelor’s degree
- Became The Divorce Encouragist
- Became a divorce coach
- Got a Mac (and then another…)
- Learned to snowboard
- Wrote a book
- Published my book
- Reconnected with old friends
- Made new friends
- Re-established my relationship with the beach
- Bought a kayak (and I use it!)
- Bought a surfboard (what was I thinking?)
- Yoga classes
- Photography classes
- Parenting classes
- Experienced stepmotherhood
- Recovered from My Most Painful Breakup Ever (which, now doesn’t seem so bad)
- Vacationed alone
FoundAm continuously discovering/inventing myself
