I originally called this blog "surviving dick" - intending it to be a repository of reflection through which I could vent a little, gain some insight, help a few others, and heal. But then I realized, that by giving Dick the focus, I was still letting him win, letting him define the me I am today, ten years after the finalization of our divorce. What the hell was I thinking?? He is the perpetual birdshit on my windshield - the crusty one in the corner, just out of reach of the wiper blades (you know the one!) and nothing more. This is still going to be a place for reflection, but also of celebration - because my life is so blessed.
So - take a lesson from me.. don't let the past, or any single rotten stupid mean and nasty individual define who you are now. Only you can do that. Who will you be today?
I am a mom, an athlete, a coach, an historian, a teacher and a writer. I am loved by my kids and my fiance. I am self-employed, chaos rules my day-to-day existence, my house needs a paint-job but I can lift really heavy stuff :) Life is good!
