Today is our 6 year wedding anniversary. Today is a sad day for me. In 4 days our divorce will be final. That will be a sad day for me as well.
Four months ago I was a very angry woman. I felt powerless, walked upon, unappreciated and worthless. The manner in which we interacted with one another made me feel like that. I longed for a little bit of kindness, honesty, nurturing and love from you. I received neglect, dishonesty and apathy.
Today I am much happier. Today I love and nurture myself. I don’t wait to receive it from you.

Today I’m trying very hard to remember to conduct myself with grace and dignity. Anytime I get overwhelmed with my emotions, I practice my deep breathing and pray to God for Grace and Dignity. I do this because I know that I have the black beast lurking right there on my shoulder, ready to take me down that ugly emotional highway. You know the one…you say things you don’t mean, you get all worked up and suddently you have become this raving lunatic that doesn’t remotely resemble anyone that you would recongnize?

I love that poem. Hope is eternal, right? Hope carries you through life’s storms. It keeps you warm when you’re out of your element and Hope gives, it does not receive. When you have Hope you have Faith; and with Hope and Faith you can accomplish a lot.
I recently read in the Oprah Newsletter of this courageous woman named Tererai Trent. Her story is called Hope in a Box.

Today is the day I exchange my children with my mother-in-law. Same day, same time, each and every week. Initially this was the hardest day of the week for me. In the beginning I could not stand that I gave the children I birthed away for 78 hours whole hours.

Here’s what is important about October. And you won’t find this on the cover either so it’s a good thing you stopped to read. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. If you want to read the magazine for anything at all, read it for this. I’m sure it’s buried deep within the bowels of the magazine.

That’s what happens to people with an anger problem. They don’t have the skills to manage their anger so it will probe its way into an encounter with a coworker, fellow student or even an innocent cashier. And hell hath no fury like the unleashed Inside Consolata.

Summer dazzles all the senses – whether it is good or bad. She beckons you like Cleopatra beckoned Antony. She promises goodness and bounty. She promises vacations filled with memories. She makes you want to spend the day at the lake, picnicking with family or friends.
