Try Something New
I started this new thing for myself for the month of October and I am really excited to try it out. I call it “Focus Points.” I put all my main points for the month on one page, whether it be a quote or something I want to focus on. It also includes a book to read and a personal development book for the month because I don’t want to push myself so far when I just started. I want to ease myself into it, so I don’t set myself up for failure. I have also included two worksheets to help me figure out who I am. I think I lost myself somewhere along the way in life and I want to bring myself back.

I had a DREAM
I had a dream of a loving husband and family. A dream that I hoped one day would come true. When I met my daughters dad, I fell in love. I fell for a man who would never love me in return. A man who cheated and lied. When I got pregnant, he fled. That man broke me and I can no longer believe that the man of my dreams exist. I watch all these romance movies and think, why can’t I have a man like that. Lately, I have been watching Fifty shades on repeat because the love that Ana and Christian have for each other, I long for that kind of love. Christian Grey loves Ana endlessly and is an example of the perfect man, not because he is rich but because he does everything he can to love Ana and respect her. He surprises her, he does things for her.

Will I Ever Love Again?
Everybody has a story tell and its only a matter of time before the truth comes out. My story is pretty truthful and until I started putting it on paper, I was afraid to tell my story. It started early in life, I was bullied all through school until I met my best friend in tenth grade. I felt like a popular kid when I met her. We became inseparable really quickly and we have been friends ever since, even became moms together, just like we always wanted to. When I was a junior in high school, I met my boyfriend bubba and we dated for five years. Things got pretty rough for us after two years. His family, as much as I loved them, were very dysfunctional. Things got worse when we moved in together and even worse when we moved out the apartment and broke up. I started a new job at a small restaurant and that’s where I met him. The man that changed my life forever.

Moms Night Out
Do you hide in a bathroom or do you call a babysitter and spend the night out? Sometimes I hide in the bathroom, lol. When I do get a babysitter and go out, I usually go to a bar, but I have always wondered what it would be like to go to dinner and a movie with myself. I have never thought about what it would be like to enjoy some actual time to myself. When I do go out to the bar, I go with one of my best friends, who is also a mom, and we really enjoy the time out. We talk and have conversations and laugh, it is really enjoyable and what a mom’s night out is really about. Hiding in the bathroom is not the way to have time alone, doing something that makes you happy during your time away from your kids is what a mom’s night is all about.

A New Life Was Created and Another Reborn
I had so much anger towards everyone and what I had been through. I felt like nobody wanted to hear my story. I never told anyone what he was doing to me. I let a monster get away with so many things. I always wondered, maybe I was the real monster. A monster of my feelings and my thoughts, my actions and my words. I was in self-destruct mode and I never thought I would get out of it. I was the master of my fate and I thought that he was all I would ever be worth. It took two years for me to realize my self worth was not all I thought it was worth. I deserved love and happiness, a chance to live my life free from control. I deserved all of this, but would it ever happen. I knew I had to change something and I was the only one that could make the change.

Love is Blind
It was the night of October 31,2012, I just started at new job as a server at a kosher restaurant. I met him that night and little did I know my life would never be the same. I finished late that night and was so tired, he was waiting outside and I just walked right by him. I had a boyfriend and I wasn’t interested in talking to anyone. At the time, I was working two jobs and the restaurant was my second job. It wasn’t until I started working full time at the restaurant that I really noticed him. By this time, my boyfriend and I were in the middle of a break up after five years together. He was my escape and he was so cute. I felt free when I was around him. He made me feel good about myself and I knew that I needed a friend.
