THIS is STILL why!!!

It will be 5 years since my marriage ended in January......hard to believe, but time passes so quickly.....we all know that......and I have kept my steadfast commitment to sharing my journey publicly because the NEED is STILL there.....just THIS week, three women came out of the woodwork......divorce finding them by surprise, and expressing how much watching my journey has inspired them, and made them believe they could too.....and well....that is everything.....transforming pain into power.....and empowering others by traveling your path and truth.....and the biggest piece beyond the inspiration piece of other people's journey, is the fact that NONE of us are ALONE......this is such a common story.......and my touching down again just recently in it through dating a person I thought I could trust.....and so my journey is important to navigate for myself, but it continues to be for other women....I get messages often confirming it.....but this week has been huge....and the part that never gets old, is that I came to these women, quite by "accident," not knowing them forever.....and as they collided with my journey and story, their own story unfolded......and so I know that there are people that wonder why I am so public......or judge it.....or maybe even eye roll my posts....and that is perfectly fine by me:) Because I don't have a choice but to do this....it was something I absolutely have been called to do, and do it has honestly and authentically as I am able.....and receiving those heartfelt messages with women....and one woman I got to see in person and wrap my arms around.....and because I am further down the road, I can serve as hope.....that the dark part they are walking in right now, won't be forever......that light lives on the other side of that......and I am happy to be here to share that.......so yes.......5 years nearly.....but STILL relevant......these women being my WHY......and each interaction I have heals a part of me too.....in some strange way......it doesn't open it all back up, but it helps me watch the wound close even further.....so my commitment this morning is as strong as it has always been.....knowing that my life led me right here.....and I will continue to walk this path as I have, as long as the need is shown for me to do so, and will make no apologies about doing just that:) Happy Tuesday:)
