I’ve always been a believer in fate. Everything happens for a reason, ya know? Whatever curve balls life threw at me, I tried to dodge and learn from the obstacles. Yeah, sure, my marriage failed. Sometimes I wonder how I’m going to send my little girl to that summer camp she’s been dreaming of going to, or how I’m going to afford this year’s Christmas presents. But, I’m always trying to look on the bright side. I’ve got two wonderful, talented kids who are my world. I’ve got great friends to go fishing with on the weekends. Hey, ya never know-maybe this time next year, I’ll be able to help someone out just like I need help now.
As a little girl, all I ever wanted was the fairy tale wedding, gorgeous white dress and Prince Charming to take care of me. After years of waiting for someone to make me feel validated and beautiful and desirable, I settled and married someone. I know now he never deserved me in the first place. It took me years to realize that I was enough on my own. I am proud to be the woman I am today-intelligent, sophisticated, strong and independent. Even with these qualities and strengths, I still would appreciate a little extra support monetarily and for this reason, gift registry is the perfect solution.
Growing up a southern Baptist, I was taught that God will always provide everything we need. After surviving and leaving an abusive marriage, all I had left were the clothes on my back, my faith, and my support group. Thanks to the love and outpouring of support from my family, friends and faith, I am slowly healing. This divorce registry is another blessing that He has given me. Thank you to all yall who feel the calling to give of themselves, either financially, emotionally or spiritually. Divorce registry is the answer to my prayers, and I know it will be an amazing miracle for anyone who’s been through a similar situation like my own
