"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance naked in the rain."

So today is the first day of the rest of my life....

I decided to leave my husband. Wasn't an easy decision or one I took lightly. We have been together for 18 years and have 2 kids. But I just knew I did not want to live like we were living anymore and I knew that my kids deserved better than to think that was what marriage was.

So I got an apartment and I am starting over with the determination that I can do this on my own and still have very happy kids. This is not the ideal situation but it is one I have chosen and I choose to make this "New Beginning" a good one for me and my babies!

I started this blog so that I can have a place to write down all my feelings and experiences that this new beginning brings us. Just keep swimming!
