Three years ago when I started down this journey to find my voice, I was surprised there was no one to talk to. I wanted to talk about divorce, being a stay at home mom,
and how to rebuild my life. I tried to find blogs, forums, anything that would help gain a better perspective of “what happens next.” I realized soon enough that it was a Taboo subject: a divorced stay at home mom. Well, I am not one to be quiet, so I decided to talk to myself and created a journal which became a book which turned into a blog.
If I want to be truly honest with myself and the world out there, I post about everything: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am a real person with real life stuff. I was on Pinterest the other night and I saw a fun quote “I don’t sugar coat shit, I ain’t Willy Wonka!”
Little by little, I hear quiet little knocks in my Facebook Inbox. Old friends, new friends, are stopping by to say I’m Listening. Thank you for being a voice for me because… right now…I need to be silent to get through. You inspire me to keep going.
This is why I do what I do. I felt as if I had no voice and could not say what I felt or that I would be heard. I am on the other side now, stronger, and my voice is not quiet. My voice is loud, so loud, to reach all those people who have shut down because they feel no one cares, that their story isn’t important in the grand scheme of things. Let me tell you, the “grand scheme of things” is LIFE and we only get one shot at it. I don’t plan on sitting down, ignoring who I am or who I want to be anymore.
You are not alone. I’m here and I have 2 cute ears to listening and 2 wide arms for hugging.
