Letting Go....

I chose to let go of that "comfortable lifestyle". A six-figure household income. A beautifully decorated home that was built from the ground up. Stamps in my passport. Shopping every weekend. Hair & nails always done. Restaurant tabs totaling hundreds of dollars. Never wanting for anything some would say.

But I wanted for a lot. I wanted for true love, peace, joy & acceptance. I chose to let go of that "comfortable lifestyle" because I needed purpose. I needed to know that I really mattered & that I am worth fighting for. I needed to know that my being here actually made a positive difference. I chose to get uncomfortable so that I can work towards greatness, self love, strength, peace & true happiness & at this point, nothing makes me more happy than being able to inspire others by what I've overcome. #GoingForGold2017 #ThisIsMe2017

The End......

Making it very difficult to focus at work, I was losing income & having to take time off. Those legal fees just about cleaned me up. Forced to make the tough decision to move out of my martial home & find the wings to soar on my own.(I'm doing it!) Lots of lonely, sleepless, "eyes full of tears" nights I had. Literall

I'm not a "victim" of divorce

                    I’m not a “victim” of divorce. I was very much present at the court house signing my name on the line. I stood there in front of friends and family and vowed “til death do us part”. I’m partly responsible for my marriage coming to an end. I contributed to our failed relationship.                          I went into my marriage unsure & afraid. Why did you move forward then Dione? I moved forward with the marriage because I believed that he was the only man of his kind. Nice house, car, good job, funny, charming & seemingly responsible. On second thought, to be honest, I moved forward with the marriage because I didn’t believe in me. I didn’t believe that I was “qualified” or “good enough” for such a man. I didn’t have much. I was a college dropout, lived at home with my parents and was only working a part-time job. “What good man would ever want me?” I thought to myself.   I was moving in fear. I was afraid that if I didn’t marry him, then I’d lose hi
