The happy traps of living the life I worked hard to achieve and had envisioned is here. I celebrated my one year wedding anniversary. I am starting a new career as a realtor here in Arizona. I am adjusting to the slower life-wave of Arizona. And with all of that I wake up happy everyday. Since 1990 I have continually been in some type self examination; sitting across from several individual therapists, including being fired as a client by one therapist, doing hand analysis, Enneagram work, Alanon and Adult Children of Alcoholic rooms, Discovery Balance at the Betty Ford Center, The Grinberg Method body healing, journal writing, sitting in a Rheumatologist therapy room receiving infusions, and meditation.

I had an angry, volatile, drunken women telling me what to do for most of my life. This woman was the same person who brought me into this world. Who repeatedly told me I was bad, had ugly hair, could not be or speak like my Argentinian father. Demanded that she had to live with me because I was her youngest daughter and it was my responsibility. [ 273 more words ]

On June 23 we were surrounded by family and friends who love and support our relationship. People who have witnessed our past relationships and understand how incredible it is for both of us to be here together today. It was the happiest day of my life. In sharing our story, I see and hear how it touches others. We are blessed and grateful to have really found each other again. [ 66 more words ]

So I am trying to refrain from using credit cards - the flip side is - I am teaching myself to live debt free. I am also learning I have an emotional connection to my credit cards. The freedom to use them (an not having the cash to pay them off at the end of month) was a prime example of how I would not allow myself to feel deprived. [ 255 more words ]

My desire to be a writer began in December 2009. I had a great encouragement by a good friend who had been published. She led me step by step here to Wordpress and showed me how to begin a blog. Thank you CJ. I did a few, very few blogs since then, but Wordpress has remained steady and sure and here - a wonderful constant. [ 60 more words ]

I have not had the blessing of being a mother in this lifetime. When I get the question of "do you have children?" I simply respond by saying "I hope to be blessed with children in my next lifetime." This usually garners a surprised response without pity. The reasons are many and valid. The timing of when I got pregnant - the one time - I was way to young. [ 474 more words ]

Just saw the movie...and I am emotionally wrecked (if you haven't seen it, then this post will be a spoiler alert). I have had many dogs in my lifetime and now I am reliving the death of each of them....ugh, really? Do we really need to relive those memories AND the fact that we lose the ones we have? I am grateful for each of them, Little-bit, Buddy, Rocky, La Rue, Bella and now Faline is in my life....each one had their own personalities and were companions in different ways. [ 78 more words ]

I turned the TV off early this morning in order to not get consumed by the constant chatter of how all actions or reactions are being reported. I just got off of Facebook and feel worse for having being on it. I posted about the upcoming Baseball Spring Training - being my first full Spring in Phoenix - I am astounded at all the teams playing here in the "Cactus League." I posted in hopes of giving friends something to look forward to! [ 281 more words ]

While at a lovely dinner with my future step-daughter, I get call after call from numbers I do not recognize. I don't answer because our long awaited pizza arrives. I see the voice mail transcript telling me my cousin (brother to the as***le that r**ed me) is calling saying he loves and misses me. I am shocked and touched at the same time. [ 276 more words ]
