Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday again! I typically don't make too much of a fuss around my birthday - apart from my 40th when I embarked on my first solo trip. Usually I'm down to just hang out with my family, and this year's pretty much been the same.

Over the past weekend though, I got to visit Los Cabos, Mexico to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday with her. I'll share photos and info in a different post, but one thing I wanted to do was get at least one nice photo with a borrowed birthday sash 😂

Mission accomplished!

Happy Birthday to me (my dad will roll his eyes at this 😆). I'm grateful for the past year and sustenance while praying for growth and God's will for the next year!

The Mother versus Stepmother Divide

Last week Sunday was Mother's Day (in the US, Canada and a few other countries). 

Telling My Grandmother About My Divorce

I promise I'm not going to write only about my divorce on this blog. As a matter of fact, I get tired of the topic - as if I don't have other things on my mind. But I shared this on Threads the other day, and I thought it might make for a good blog post too!

Regret Getting Divorced?

 A few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with a friend about Coco. I shared how sometimes I felt a little bad that I wasn't able to provide a two-parent home for Coco. My friend followed up with this question: "Do you regret getting divorced?" It was a question that took me aback a little bit, but I appreciated the opportunity to think through my response.

I said I'd share it online because Hello, Oversharer here! Okay that's not why but I'm fine with sharing my thoughts and experiences and maybe one person out there might relate.

TGIF!

I hope you've had a great week. Mine was so-so, but I'm thankful for the weekend to reset and re-calibrate. It's crazy to think that January is pretty much over. Didn't we just say Happy New Year two days ago? Anyway, read on for the little bits of my life that touched me this week.
