Wikipedia – Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
Almost no one in my life has known that I’ve been disassembling my marriage, except for a few folks. Going through a divorce is neither easy or painless. And regardless of the reason, or whether you think it’s the best thing to do, it hurts. My stomach constantly feels as though I’ve been attacked with a cheese grater and my shoulders are sore from sleeping on the couch.
But, on the way down this path, many good things have happened to me and have really let me know someone is looking out for me. For instance, when I really needed it most, Jennifer Priest offered me life coaching sessions. I believe our coming together has been serendipitous. She has kept me together, kept me in check and kept me sane. Her questions have kept me from settling and making stupid mistakes. She’s helped me see that I do have a lot to offer a future employer and helped me stay on track for getting my act together.
She’s definitely not the only person who has seemed to come into my life when I needed it most. So many little blessed gifts – so many acts of kindness – so much friendship and love. I’m very grateful.

When one chapter ends, another begins. We author our life. Sometimes we glimpse into the next chapter – and it gives us courage to move on.
Ya know, I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
Hope you make it through the storm.
I am going through a divorce, too. It hurts so much because my husband cheated on me and I found out for myself, that he is the most egoistic man in the whole world. Now I live in a foreign country, alone (not that bad, I am in Germany since september last year, my home is Belgium – so – it is not that far, right?). God, I am so happy we had no kids together. So I’m waiting to go back home in september.
What happened to you? What was your “point of no return”? Hope your shoulder is getting better. Why doesn’t he sleep on the couch? God, I am frustrated. It seems I would damn any men in this world because they are male.
