Just WHY!!!????

In sharing my "anniversary" post yesterday, I realize it may may be questioned by some.....like why after all these years keep mentioning it?.....That is a valid question....and well there are so many things that come to mind to answer that question.....first the clarification of my not being stuck in the place of my divorce.....I am not....I never want anybody to think that even for a second, that THIS whole thing defines my life, in a real sense, THIS journey has unfolded to encompass some of that piece, for sure, a catalyst for change, and evolution, but has evolved into a much larger scope......the topic of empowerment and raising other women up, that is where my purpose and heart lies......and that is why I shared that post yesterday, and wrote a blog about my anniversary date, a two fold motivation.....because I think there is REAL value in looking at where you have been and celebrating your growth and progress......I heard a keynote speaker speak to that this year, and share the psychological benefit, the joy that comes from acknowledging wins or things that we have overcome....so that has become a newer place within me....helping to fuel me to keep going:) The energy and strength to endure, but that is only one small piece of my continuing, all these years later, to share this story.....it is more to do with the MANY women that are on my feed, walking my journey, feeling smothered by the darkness, and it has been shown to me MANY times that my story resonates and makes a difference.....either by directly working with a woman, or having them watch my journey.......many messages come in to that end.....and I know for myself that has been true....my watching others, from afar sometimes, and thinking if they can.....well then so can I:) There is also a healing component that happens so fully, when you acknowledge and speak your truth.....not bottling it up for another day.........but fully expressing it.....and so that is part of it too....giving myself air......room to breathe....but this 5 year mark, was truly a thing....and I am still wondering about the why....why it was felt so deeply this time.....that has not always been the case as the anniversary has circled around....another gift of the posts I made was my working out the format of my own book! A question that had stymied me some....and now I have an idea that I think will be it, finally:):):).....I think my kids will be going with their dad's this weekend....and I plan on spending some time writing.....There are many things that I have in the queue to be created and I am working on the way....when you write and express, it gives you room to HEAR yourself in a way that is unique.....and so that has become my default space, and I am so blessed that most people completely get it:)I am glad that I am past that mile marker....and now this year opens up to all of the magic of possibility.....lots of ideas percolating;-) Here we go;-)
