Rewrite the Stars

Rewrite the Stars

Now that clarity is settling in and I'm recognizing that this relationship must end, I find myself reflecting on all the years we've spent together. It wasn’t all bad; we had our moments, and I wouldn’t have stayed married if it had been entirely negative. However, looking back, I realize a big part of it was my sense of solitude within the marriage and, tragically, feeling abandoned isn’t even the primary reason I know it has to end. In recent years, it’s been the devaluation and sense of being discarded that have taken their toll.

No one should feel alone in their marriage, and it’s never acceptable to be treated poorly. I refuse to model that kind of relationship for my daughters. I want them to understand what a healthy relationship looks like and recognize when it’s time to walk away. In the past, I let many things slide because I didn’t want my girls to suffer, but they are older now and can comprehend the situation better. It’s time to let go. My youngest daughter has just two more years of high school, which gives me time to prepare. Although this will still be challenging, it will be easier once she graduates.

Even though I know this decision is necessary, I’m still deeply saddened by it. Most people don’t enter marriage expecting divorce; this isn’t how it was supposed to unfold. In hindsight, I can see where I could have done things differently, but I can’t change the past. All I can do is move forward and strive to do better in the future.

I believe this is what God wants for us. He grants us the freedom to make our own choices, but I also know He is always guiding us toward the life we are meant to live. When we veer off course, He is there, ready to help us find our way back and begin anew. God desires for us to have relationships that are meaningful, reciprocal, and supportive. If we allow Him to lead, He will guide us to people who embody these qualities. I truly believe that God can’t wait to redirect us, reinvent us, and Rewrite the Stars for us...

Twilight As I approach the end of this year, I’m increasingly aware that it marks not just the conclusion of the holiday season, but a significant transition in my own life. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve finally found myself in a new place, ready to start a new chapter. It’s both exciting and daunting. I’m eagerly looking forward to launching Daylight Coaching and can’t wait to see where this journey leads me. Yet, stepping into the unknown is never easy. One thing that has helped me navigate this transition is taking time to count my blessings this holiday season. First and foremost are my girls, for whom I am profoundly grateful. Although I miss my little ones, it’s been a joy to witness who they are becoming and to see our relationship evolve in a new way. Many of you can relate: watching your children grow and leave the nest is challenging, but as I get used to it, I’m pleasantly surprised by how rewarding this new dynamic can be. I’m also thankful for my family and the clos...

Daylight

Daylight To begin with, I wanted to explain why I chose to create this blog...  The journey began during the pandemic, a time that granted me plenty of opportunity for reflection. I realized that my daughters were growing up quickly and would soon be leaving home. My oldest was set to graduate in 2020, while my youngest was preparing to enter high school. This realization sparked a wave of fear about what life would look like once they were gone. One day, as I was pondering the future, an unexpected thought came out of nowhere and I heard the words, "S tart a blog" . This notion was surprising, as I had little experience with blogging, not to mention, I could barely manage a Facebook post and had always felt intimidated by social media. The idea of starting a blog had never crossed my mind. However, since I had learned to trust that voice inside, I took the plunge and began researching how to create one. The very next day, a close friend shared an article from Introvert Dear...

Let It Go

Let It Go Leaving a place that has been my home for over 25 years feels surreal. It’s more than just ending a marriage; it’s about saying goodbye to a home filled with cherished memories and familiar comforts. I always understood that this transition would be challenging, especially as the girls grow up and begin their own journeys. Yet, I never anticipated it would be this profound. I envisioned us staying connected, with the girls returning to a place that felt like home. Now, as I prepare to leave, I find myself grappling with a bittersweet reality. My youngest is off to college soon, and I yearn for a space where they can always feel at home. But I can’t help but wonder—will it ever truly feel that way for them again? Or for me? I'm coming to terms with the fact that our new situation is something everyone will soon be aware of. Honestly, I don’t mind if people know—divorce happens, life changes, and this is definitely for the best. Still, I recognize that it’s awkward, sad, an...
