I didn’t plan on getting divorced when I married my first husband. And I certainly didn’t know what it would be like being divorced, meeting someone else, falling in love, getting remarried, or the uncharted territory of being a second wife and blending families. And to be honest, it’s hard to find the right outlet to talk about it. Everyone has different experiences in relationships and sometimes you just need to get your thoughts and feelings out. So this is a diary of sorts for me. I’m sharing about the most magical moments and the unexpected disappointments that, sometimes, I didn’t know if I’d be able to get past.

Whether you are currently remarried, divorced and contemplating dating again and are wondering whether or not getting remarried is something that you want, or even if you’re in your first marriage and wanting it to be different, maybe me sharing my experiences and how I’ve navigated my feelings through them will resonate with you. So, welcome. We always say that it takes a village when raising kids, but the older I get, the more I realize how important that village is for us adults, too. From one villager to the next, I hope we can love each other more, support each other in the deepest ways, and be a safe place to talk about life with.
