Hi, all. Time for an update, don't you think? Well, get ready for some changes!

 

On Thanksgiving Day, I told Keith I was through with our relationship. I just couldn't rescue him any more. He agreed, and on December 15, he left for London. Haven't secured a divorce yet, but that's coming very soon.

 

Don't feel sorry for me. This is the best thing that could have happened. I finally realized that I am codependent, and have been trying to rescue him from his alcoholism, and you just can't do that. You can't change anyone else, only yourself. So I did. Make some changes in myself, including not allowing anyone to dictate to me what I wanted.

 

Since December, my life has been fabulous. I have more work (massage), and the website for Egyptian Elixirs was finally created by my son. Check it out at http://www.egyptianelixirs.com.

 

Something else I did last fall, was to start seeing a life success coach. I have seen her once and sometimes twice a week since last September. With her guidance, I've been able to understand how my inner child has been running the show all my life, and have my adult self come forth to take over. I still have my moments of regressing, but now I'm able to see it happening, and stop it. 

 

 

 

What a ride this life is! This summer has been a challenge to me, as far as business goes. I want to purchase a house, and I've discovered that I don't make enough money being self-employed. I was told, if I only had a job, I could be qualified "like that." I'm considering it, because I really, REALLY want out of this one bedroom apartment. My daughter wants to move in with me, and I need a dedicated space to do massage and healing from.

 

Still haven't gotten a divorce from Keith, but I've been dating some. That's fun. The divorce needs to happen soon, or I'll be filing my taxes with him on them again.

 

Found a couple of apartments near here that are ridiculously easy to get into. They'll even move me for free! But do I really want to live in an apartment for another year? Even if the washer and dryer ARE included??? The rent's $225 more than I'm paying now. $750/month. I could have a house for that amount. Only no washer and dryer included, and more in utilities to pay. We'll see.
