Moving forward in the new year...

How many of your Dreams worked out as you had planned? None of mine did. Cinderella sucks and there’s no such thing as Mr Rogers Neighborhood. But, what I have ended up with is better than I imagined sans my relationship with my youngest two daughters. 

When you finally get to this part of the estrangement journey, you start accepting things as they are, NOT as we thought they would be. I refuse to continue to beat myself up over Motherhood. I won’t blame my mom for how she raised me, I also will not blame myself for how I raised my kiddos. I  know I was a good mother. 

I will tell you in a heartbeat that I deserve better for all the reasons that I've posted about in this blog. Wallowing and beating myself up for what's true and what's fabricated just causes self pain. So looking back is not necessarily the best thing to do for too long. 

I will continue to move forward because that's the direction of life. I’m going to focus on the present/future and accept the peace that decision gives me. The unexpected life is phenomenal. I look forward to what this new year holds in store.

Hang in there friends as we move along this road together. 🦋
