What are your biggest challenges?

My biggest challenges are being patient while trying to reach my long-term goals. I have a wonderful amazing life, but I am very ambitious so I have to be patient on the larger goals I have such as extensive traveling, financial independence, and buying a home. 

My Divorce Almost Destroyed Me

It has been a rough ride the last four years since my divorce in a lot of ways, but I feel like the struggles have made me stronger. Having to be separated from my kids for half the week, living in a one-bedroom apartment for two years, selling my first home, were all fairly traumatic for me because I consider myself a very family oriented person.

On the other side of all that pain though, a beautiful woman with a huge heart, a very nice home in the suburbs that we rent, and three wonderful step-children were waiting for me along with a cadre of pets who I have become quite attached to.

With the help of friends and loved ones I have been able to weather these storms and come out better for it on the other side. I am reasonably optimistic about the future now and looking forward to tackling some of my bigger goals.

  1. Hello, your story is very inspirational. I found one of my biggest challenges while going to nursing school full time with two small children, my grandmother passed away, and I was getting a divorce back in 2000. One thing I can say for sure, when life throws you curve balls, you have to get up, and keep going. Someone once said to me, if you let yourself fall down and stay down, all the people that doubted you will win. You have to get up and show them that you win, not them. Stay strong. I am brand new to the blog community, I am trying to make my way as you have, you are doing such a great job. Your page is top notch, and your posts are so informative and interesting. Thank you for getting up and going.

    1. I had to be or I wouldn’t be here! Life would of grinded me down long ago!
