The Only Constant is Change

Sometimes life takes surprising turns! This week, I was stunned to find out that my marriage of sixteen years is ending. My husband and I have decided to separate but remain friends in support of each other and our children. I want to thank everyone who has given me encouragement and love during this difficult time. I have a terrific support system in place to weather the challenging days ahead and I realize that this could happen to anyone.

I have always believed that each new experience is an opportunity for growth and adventure although change can be frightening at the outset. Being a daring and positive person has opened up my life to many new experiences and I am certain that I will emerge from these events stronger, wiser and happier. How will I accomplish this without losing my self-esteem? I will hold my head up high and embrace the unknown.

If a relationship fails, it was never meant to be. This is where fate and destiny come into play. I’m a big believer that my next love is just around the corner and that because I love myself; my heart and my mind will be open to new love. Also, I am grateful for having been married for sixteen years to a fascinating man and I am thankful for my children and for the life I’ve created.

Tip: When a man breaks up with you, be as noble and dignified as you can. Realize that better times are ahead and that the future holds many wonderful opportunities. Sometimes a break-up is a blessing in disguise.
