It is interesting that January is called divorce month because my divorce decree was delivered in January 2013. This mail delivery was the first time I was excited to see the postal carrier and I could finally exhale that it was over on paper. While divorce is the end of a chapter, it is the beginning of a new life. A beginning to get it right this time on my terms. Divorce was the best decision for me physically and mentally. It gave me the release I needed to leave a toxic situation. January is the start of a new year but also an opportunity to plan for new opportunities and experiences.
When life gives you lemons make the best lemonade. Divorce showed me the following lessons:
- Some people who come into your life are not meant to stay
- Block dysfunctional people, places, and things
- True friends and family are here for the good, the bad, and the ugly
- Treating myself to what I deserve
- The cost of divorce is worth every dime
- Peace of mind is priceless
- Surround myself with people who have my best interest at heart
- Follow my passion
- Never compromise my happiness for other people’s standards
- Be direct with what I need and do not settle for less
- Share new experiences wisely
