I just wan to add a bit more for those catching up on my sitch....

These past 2 years that my husband has been on this wild ride he’s been on has been hard. In fact, hard is an understatement. But.....

I haven’t just wasted this precious time to focus on me. I’m certainly not perfect but I’ve grown a lot in the last 2 years.

I’ve re-gained my independence. This has been huge for me. I was independent when I met him so it feels good to be able to take care of myself again.

I’ve become financially independent of my husband.

I’ve built up a savings (it’s not huge but it’s mine).

I’ve been building my business.

I’ve lost 40 pounds just this year alone. The stress jump started that weight loss and I decided I may as well keep it up, lol!

I’ve been in counseling to help me with this process and the counseling had been amazing.

I’ve taken a couple of road trips solo (something I would have never done before).

Spiritually and mentally I’m in a great place. I still get emotional but I’m not where I used to be.

I’ve got even more planned for 2020. I have an inner knowing that no matter where the road takes me, that I will be ok.
