Hi ladies,

My ears were ringing. LOL.

I pop in almost every day, to read what's going on - but don't have a ton to say.

My time is really being spent trying to figure out how to make my "send out cards" business - a business (v.s. a hobby)that will support me.

I'm doing pretty well, when you consider I was with the same man for 23 yeas of my 41 year life. All I've known is how to be a married woman.

I grieve the loss of "what I thought I had", and the destruction of my family.

My daughter is on her own at 18, trying to make sense of the world. My 16 year old boy is living in MD with a family who is homeschooling him.

As I write this I weep for the loss of my children. The loss of everything I knew for sure. My children were my life.

I went from being a happily married, homescooling mother of two children...to being a single woman with an empty nest.

It's been a huge change in a short amount of time.

I believe that the best years of my life are yet to come.

hugs to ya all!

Danita
