Sometimes You Have To Just Be The Bigger Person
One thing divorced parents need to always focus on is having a civil parenting relationship with their ex. It’s extremely important. Never should your child feel they have to stick up for a parent. Sometimes people need a reminder. Sometimes arguments are not necessary. It’s stating pure facts and saying what you will tolerate and what you won’t tolerate.
Listen adults. Pull yourself together! If not for yourself then at least for your kids.
A child is molded from day one. Through their whole life their parents’ words, and actions mold who they are. Choose those actions and words wisely.
March is Endometriosis Month
Someone really close and dear to me suffers from Endometriosis. Women may be experiencing symptoms and may not even know it. It’s more common than not. No one should face this journey alone. 💛 Be sure to read up on the symptoms.

Female Empaths, Are You One?
Does this sounds like you? https://drjudithorloff.com/how-to-know-if-youre-an-empath/
Why it’s hard to understand one: https://www.google.com/amp/s/theheartysoul.com/female-empaths/amp/
What is an empath: “Empaths are highly sensitive, finely tuned instruments when it comes to emotions. They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme, and are less apt to intellectualize feelings. Intuition is the filter through which they experience the world. Empaths are naturally giving, spiritually attuned, and good listeners.”
Keep Life Simple
Life is simple. Really. Wake up. Have your routine. Work. Enjoy your night. If you have kids you take care of them. Smile. Laugh. Love. All the noise in between messes this all up. All the doubts and what ifs and set backs is really caused by us. Ourselves. We create more termoil within. We have a vision of how things should be verse how they are. Stop complicating things. It’s all very simple. Simplify your life.
When In Doubt Meditate
I couldn’t sleep. It was getting to be annoying so I began to meditate. I even fell asleep listening to this and I must say I woke up feeling amazing. Relaxed.
The power to calm the brain is something we all need to focus on. Calming ourselves. Processing before reacting. Really thinking of the outcome we want. Stress is the worse thing you can do to the body.
Practice remaining calm. Meditate!

You Have To Take Control Over Your Own Life...

What The Hell Is Happening...New Moon March
It’s a new moon. What? I said to my friend. Yeah it’s a new moon and the whole universe vibes are out of wack.
I know it sounds crazy but it makes sense. It’s been a weird week/Month. Random things keep happening. Out of the blue messages are popping up. Twist of fate are taking place. I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned all night. I had to look it up to see what it all really meant. Trust your vibe. Trust the universe. Cheers to new beginnings...whatever and wherever they may lead you.

The Second Time Around
I got married really young. I felt I had my happily ever after and then things changed. We grew up. Real life started to happen. We both changed. Things went downhill and lust turned into anger and so on.
https://www.yourtango.com/2018311605/men-reddit-explain-how-falling-in-love-second-time-different-first
At this stage of being an adult things are different the second time around. Even though you look for certain qualities in a possible companion you also have a less “lust” approach and more of a realistic one.
Most of the time there’s other children we have from previous relationships. There’s the ex’s that still play a role in their life. It’s like a tangled web. You may not necessarily want more kids or marriage again but you do want a companion who respects you and gives you what you deserve. You may have trust issues or avoid certain patterns that remind you of your previous relationships. You may have a couple failed experiences because you will tolerate less this time around. Regardless it’s not an easy journey but can be a lot of fun especially if you found someone worth trying it out with. I found this article pretty interesting.

You Can’t Do This Journey Alone
The saying “no one gets it unless they have been through it” is 100% true. My divorce journey would have been awful if I didn’t have people in my life that could relate to me. What I was dealing with. The roller coaster ride alone. Now I tend to lend a helping hand and voice to those going through what I went through. My sister was my helping hand and now I tend to be my friends. No one should do this alone.
I met with a friend last night going through it. I stopped her and said girl just be happy and don’t second guess why you’re happy. It’s ok to be selfish. It’s ok to say I don’t want the rest of my life to be this way. Regardless of what age you are.
We need to take more ownership over what we want and need. No one can give it to us. No one can make decisions for you. Another close friend of mine was scared of outcome of her court date. Honey, I said, you make a final agreeement ahead of time and court doesn’t want to make it for you. You go in fully prepared. Agree ahead of time. Court isn’t scary. It just finalizes it.
These little tips take the pressure off your fears. Change is hard. Change is fearful. It’s ok to have fear just don’t face them alone. No one goes into a marriage thinking it will end one day. But people change along the process. Feelings change. Unmet expectations happen. Staying in a bad situation isn’t the solution. Building courage to fight for your happiness is the most courageous thing you can do.
