Reasons Why You May Not be Able to Afford a Divorce

Most people who get married believe that their marital relationships will last forever; however, oftentimes, this is not going to happen. Whether it is because of money problems, a lack of trust, or any other issue, many married people sooner or later decide to prepare a divorce applications form. However, what they should do first is to find out if they can afford to get divorced because if they cannot whey will have to look for other ways to resolve their marital disputes instead of ending their marriage on paper. If you don’t feel like you can save your marriage and break-up seems to be inevitable, you should find out how much an average divorce costs before you make your final decision. Of course, the sum of money that you…

A leap of faith

I learned something important today and I wanted to share because maybe it can help someone else. It's actually tough to admit this stuff but you know, personal growth. Life is going well for me. I feel I can honestly say that. In the last couple of years, I've had a tremendous amount of shit happen that left me pretty banged up. At the end of the day, I got us through it. It's not perfect but I'm okay with that. I'm making progress each and every day. New opportunities at work keep popping up and I have a plan for moving forward that I think is going to help make a big difference. We've been working on the house and it's going well. Weather has been interfering a bit…

Life is far too short

It's been a great day so far. Gavin is out spending time with my Mom and the boys are doing awesome. I've been working for most of the day and that's gone amazingly well. I had two meetings today and both went really well. I'm exploring a new partnership having to do with men's health and that looks to be a really good business opportunity. At the same time, I'm all about raising awareness for things and men's health is important. The house has been quiet with Gavin gone and it's kinda like a look at what life might be like when he moves out on his own. He's having a great time with his grandma and while I'm not sure what they're doing, I am absolutely certain that I'll…

How I’ve grown and changed over the last 2 years

I wanted to talk a little bit about my personal growth journey. I've been very open about this newer foray into learning more about myself, growing into a better version of me, as well as finding peace, and happiness. I turned 40 a couples of years back, lost my last remaining grandparents, went through a divorce, and became a single parent with a shit load of responsibilities that can sometimes be overwhelming. If there was ever a time for self-reflection and personal inventory, this was it. What I haven't done recently is talk about the progress I've made. I don't usually pat myself on the back but sometimes it's important to acknowledge the progress I've made and give myself a little credit for all my hard work. When I first…

It’s noon and everyone is still sleeping

I feel like I slept okay last night. Today is going to be a busy day. Everyone in my house is still sleeping and it's just before noon. I'm pretty sure that between working outside yesterday and the fatigue following the second COVID shot, they're exhausted. I didn't really sleep in today but I wasn't up super early either. Gavin was doing is IVIG Infusion when I took this yesterday. The dogs spent some time outside and I cut the grass already. There's not a lot of shade where I will be working this afternoon and it's already hot and humid. I'm excited to get the work done but not super excited to do it in this heat. Anyway, back to work and we'll see what we can get accomplished…

We made some major progress today

It's been a really long day and I'm going to bed super early. We worked on the outside of the house all day today. My parents came over to help and we accomplished so much. I was telling someone tonight that I feel like I really dropped the ball over the last couple of years with the house and I'm not proud of that. I had a lot going on and I did the best I could in the moment. That said, it feels so good to make progress and move forward. I have most of the house power washed and because of the rain, we haven't been able to paint. We took on the landscaping today instead and made some major headway. For the most part, the kids did…

My life isn’t perfect and that’s okay

The week has gone by quickly and that generally means it's been a good week. It's been a week full of memories and experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. I'm grateful for everything in my perfectly imperfect life. The boys got their second dose of the COVID vaccine on Thursday and while Elliott is side effect-free, Emmett was in pretty rough shape. He dis okay as long as he was on Motrin. Once it wore off, he was absolutely miserable. He's feels much better today. I love power washing but it's so messy I've not been sleeping well for some reason. I'm a little to preoccupied with some work related nonsense and getting the projects done around the house. We're living in a state of in…

It’s been a few days

It's been a few days, but I've had a lot going on. I've been busy with work and learning to navigate some newer things in my life. It's sometimes hit or miss because, of course, I'm me. That said, I'm learning, and that counts for something. I'm not a big fan of making the same mistakes twice, so learning is an essential part of my personal growth. I've come a long way in the last couple of years and I feel really good about that. I also feel really good about being able to acknowledge that as well. We've been working out in the yard trying to get things ready for the outdoor part of our house's facelift. It's a work in progress but progress is being made, and that…
