LOVE ANYWAY – One Small Action CAN Change the World
Life has given me a gift. A gift that feels like a boatload of lemons.
I say it is a gift because it is teaching me to realize how strong I truly am and how deep my faith is. I have a lot of lemonade to make. I don’t want the fear, self-doubt, hurt, tears, and negatives to overtake me or anyone else. A large part of our society is hurting. It’s evident everywhere you look: the news, your towns/cities, social media. Look around – everywhere there are hurting folks. I am one of them.
My marriage of 18 years is all but over. Now, at 52 and being a SaHM for the past 16 years, I have to forge forth in life alone, without this person whom I was going to spend all of my life with. I am not a young whipper-snapper, either. Some days the fear and hurt can be paralyzing. I know marital separation and divorce are so very common in today’s world…but it’s different when it happens to you.
I am a child of divorce – several actually. My parents divorced when I was 12. Each went on to marry other people and then divorce them, a few times each. I was so afraid to be divorced that I waited till I was nearly 34 to marry. My parents’ divorce affected me deeply. I not only lost my Dad, but because of the divorce my SaHM (stay at home Mom) had to get a job somewhere and her hours were when we were home from school – so she was now gone, too. In the blink of an eye my brother and I lost BOTH parents – so to speak. I’ve pretty much raised myself since I was 12.
I have a 16 year old son and I refuse to allow that to happen to him. I am looking for work with hours that will accommodate his schedule of after school activities – at least until he can legally drive (and my heart isn’t in my throat – LOL). That being said, between my estranged husband and myself, there have been some things said that should not have been said. Things that cut deep. You can’t take back words once spoken – so be cautious with your words. But with all this pain, fear, worry, I do not want to face the world with sadness and heartache. I want to face it with love and joy and smiles. I don’t want this to change and define me.
That is part of the reason I created this LOVE ANYWAY movement. I want the world to stop hurting. We are going to have pain, each of us – you do when you love people. But there is no reason to allow that pain to paralyze and define you. Despite the pain and heartache, tears and fears, we can LOVE ANYWAY. Love thru the pain and the tears.
WILL YOU HELP ME? I am turning those lemons into a global positivity movement and I need YOUR HELP. Watch this short video to hear my mission (no script, just me being me)
