To be honest it is hard to say I am excited about divorce cause I do love my husband, but there is no longer trust seeing he cheated on me and then said he wanted to leave marriage and then filed separation papers. Then I got involved with a man one night and ended up pregnant. But I am looking at it this way God has a plan for me and as long as I follow what he is leading me to do all will go according to his will. I have four wonderful children ages 10,8,6 and 5. my 6 year old being mildly autistic. So I am excited about being able to give the baby i am carrying to a family who is unable to have children, at first it bothered me but after praying and seeking God I am at ease. There are many couples unable to have children and for that I am able to give them the gift of having the joys of raising a child. I am choosing to do open adoption so that I can still have contact with my child. This is the best choice for me and my four children in this case I can get teh job training needed to be all I can be for them, nothing to hold me back. I was going to do animal care but seeing that I have child that is special needs I am possiably seeking for somethign in education or teacher assistant, this way i can be there for my children and work around their school schedule. What is meant to be will be, God will work things out as he has it intended, and if my husband changes his mind well then I will still succeed in what I want to do also. God can work all things out to please what his will is not my will or the will of my husband. God is in control of my life from now on and I will follow what he wants me to do to be a better mother for my children and to be what God has planned for me. I take each day as it goes have good days and bad days but things work out. All I can suggest to anyone is let God take control and just do as he leads you, let go of all burdens God will take care of you and give you the strength to do what you need. God will always love you and never forsake you or leave you. So put your faith and trust in him.

I am in the middle of a divorce which should be finalized soon. I am excited about creating financial independence and freedom through my business. I am involved in training from those who have been successful and using affirmations and action plans to further my dream. I am excited about taking charge of my own life.

What I am most excited about is the idea that I can even type the words that I am excited about anything. Not too long ago, that seemed impossible. I was thrown into the deepest well of grief a parent can imagine when I lost my eldest at the age of 11. Nothing seemed to shed any light on my life. It was dark.

Having taken the time to sit with each one of those feelings, it is time to peek out the door that has been opened.

I opened that door after some serious introspection and hard work. I mustered up my strength, and pulled it and it did indeed open, if just a bit. I am excited for the most part to see what lies ahead.

It is time to begin to live again. For me, for my son. That is why I am hopeful to win the book and the entry into the program. The extra support would definitely be welcome.

In the meantime, I continue writing, meditating, and use of talk therapy. I have a goal of 100 resumes submitted this month and meaningful employement not far behind that. I set aside time each day to honor my late daughter, to feel my feelings, and to be fully present for my son. This week, I have the following on my desk calendar highlighted in capital letters:

"Shift and the World Shifts With You."

Yes, I have used your blog entry title for continued inspiration and look forward to what happens next. Thank you for your consideration.

I've been separated for 9 months now and hopefully my divorce is almost done. What I'm most excited about right now is making a fresh start. I'm making a new home for my boys and me. I'm trying to slowly acquire new furnishings (at least new to us!) and decorate in a way I never did when I was married. I lost my job recently so I'm looking for a new job (and new friends, etc.) and considering going with a completely new field. I'm looking for scholarships, grants, etc. to get back in school. I'm trying to let go of the bitterness and hurt and resentment toward my ex (and my life) which is the hardest thing I'm dealing with right now. I'm trying to take a few minutes every day to take care of me and really enjoy the fun times with my kids instead. I'm trying to remind myself how lucky I am to have them and see all the things that their father doesn't even know he's missing. Some days I'm more successful than others!

My name is Laura. I just separated from my husband of 6 years. We have two small children. What I'm most excited about is starting over. Every day I am getting out of bed and making the most of it, that's all I seem to be able to do so far. Thanks.
