About Me
My credentials for being the author of this blog are: I’m divorced, I’m Catholic and I’m a mom.
However, here’s a bit more about me:
- currently in my early 50s
- the mother of four children
- a woman who has experienced the hell of separation and divorce (as have my children!)
- a woman who is now experiencing the “after divorce” challenges of single parenthood AND single womanhood
- Catholic!
That’s the short and to the point version of who I am..now for more details…
I’m a cradle Catholic who has never stopped practicing my faith (how did my parents manage THAT?!), however, I’ve definitely struggled with my beliefs – especially during my separation and divorce.
I tell you that I’ve never stopped practicing my faith only to let you know a bit more about myself…not to say, “I’m special because I’ve never lapsed.” I have indeed lapsed in my faith during my life and I continue to do so, but I pick myself up and brush myself off and try again each time that happens. I keep trying because my faith has always been a huge part of who I am (how did my parents DO that?!). It’s SO ingrained in me that even when I seriously questioned my faith, I still (outwardly) practiced it.
At that time, I had children for whom I was trying my best to be a good example (and those children are still with me and I’m still trying to be a good example) so I went through the motions for THEM. Just like the old adage, though, “Fake it until you can make it”…..my faith came back stronger than ever. And I’m thankful for that! Without my faith and the strength that comes from it, I honestly don’t know how I would have come through “hell” and the challenges that continue to be a part of my life as a result. Because of my faith, I can still say, with absolute conviction, “Life is good!”
And just a little bit more about me….I’m a Virtual Assistant. What’s that?! A career I love that has made it possible for me to work from home so I have the flexibility to be here when my children need me. For more info on Virtual Assistance, click on – AssistU.
