Hey I'm back! Yes, I have taken an eternally long time off from blogging but am happy to say I am going to make a valid attempt to start again! Since my last blog, my whole world has changed and I can honestly say I'm not sure where to begin to share all that has happened without writing a book, literally! So I will just kind-of outline my life in the last couple of years and how I created a new life because of my experience and journey to confidence through YOU University. Thank you Maia Berens - for coaching me and supporting me all this time. I could never have created this life I have now without your love & your program!
- I got a divorce after 29 years of marriage to a really great guy AND it was a mutual decision and has been quite an experience that we have both learned and grown from.
- I moved in to my own place for the very first time in my life and became self supporting.
- I gained a new grandson! My granddaughter, Audrey, is now 4 1/2 and my grandson is 2 1/2.
- I was blessed with the right jobs at the right time through a super life changing time - now I've worked for a lender, a title company and currently am back to working at Re/Max as an Executive Assistant for an awesome real estate team.
- I managed to find love with a man who I knew in high school but had not seen since. We met up at a class reunion-type gathering and literally went gaga from the moment we looked at each other from across the room! Within months we were living together.
- I have learned how to go from being very much a planner to living more spontaneously and loving it (even though I fight it because it's not what I've ever known!)
- I lost many friends through the divorce but now have gained many new friends and a new "family" with my boyfriend, David. (Oh did I forget to mention that he has the same name as my ex-husband?) I love to give people something fun to chat about!
- I now live in a farm house learning all about the lifestyle of farmers, ranchers, and truck drivers (David's occupation) - it's actually so much fun and also quite a HUGE difference from the life I'd always known living in town. NOTE: It's also the lifestyle I always dreamed about and wanted to learn more about & experience.
So much more has happened and I will most likely share in future blogs. You could say that I literally turned my life around because of the shift that took place in me as I went through YOU University - learning how to honor myself and face my fears. I learned how to have confidence in ways I didn't even realize were possible. And with each new day, I am rediscovering who I was born to be & learning more and more how to be authentically me. I am so blessed and so grateful!
Wouldn't you like to take your own journey to confidence?
So happy you are back. there's something quite wonderful about this big break and recounting all your changes. It's a clear testimony to your work on yourself through YOU UNiversity and taking all into your life. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat’s something to chat about, Gina! I rarely heard of a story wherein the new partner carry the same name as the ex-husband. Hehe! Kidding aside, it’s nice to know that both of you benefited from the divorce. I know it was a hard process, but I can see that you succeeded in making yourself a better person after the divorce. I’ll be looking forward to seeing more stories of your happier life in the next posts. Thanks for a great read! :)
