It's Been a Year!

I was about to apologize for being so absent these days, on here. But I don’t really think an apology is necessary. Life got really, really messy… And I’m not sorry for taking time to heal. I don’t normally get so personal, but putting my life out there for y’all is actually quite cathartic these days.

Okay, so I won’t get into all the details, but my 18 year marriage ended. I found out my (now) ex-husband was having an affair with a waitress from our local watering hole. And yes, I was completely blindsided. Don’t get me wrong. There were signs. Especially when I think back on certain behaviors that I didn’t question. But I’m not here to beat myself up over the fact that my life partner left me for someone else.

The first few months were rough. I’m not going to lie. There was a lot of foggy survival mode. I would find myself in the parking lot at the grocery store, when I was supposed to be in the parking lot of my son’s school, picking him up. I cried. A lot. Every night, for hours. Luckily, with the support of my family and friends, I got better. Everyday, I peeled myself out of bed and reminded myself that I’m a Bad B and I got this.

It’s been a year now, that my ex husband left and never came back. He lives a couple miles away. With his girlfriend and her 4 year old son. I’ve done a lot of healing, got a divorce, dated (a lot!), and am now working on the next steps of my life. I will get back to blogging and sharing fashion advice with you, I promise. Thanks for hanging in there and not giving up on me. I’m happier and stronger than I ever was. My Consulting business is busy with new clients. Onward and upward!
