Each blog is inspired by my unedited journal entries written prior, during and after my divorce. These entries were never intended to be shared.
My mission for this blog is to share my experience, strength and hope with everyone considering divorce, in the midst of divorce or post-divorce and asking “Now what?”
I truly believe the saying “You’re only as sick as your secrets”; I hope to encourage others by sharing my story.
I had the same thoughts you do; I felt the same feelings; I spoke the same words; I swallowed the same pain; I questioned the same choices; I feared the same changes.
May you be blessed to uncover the lessons that each situation was meant to teach, find the gratitude that is often masked by fear and anger and envision the life you were meant to live. I have and I am at peace.

My Divorce Journal 
Hi Dawn,
The blog is great. Congratulations. I see eye-to-eye with you on the value of journaling as well as on the notion of ‘divorce as catalyst’.
To confirm the point – My book is taken directly from the journal I kept at the time of my divorce. It is essentially a story of transformation through breakup.
Good luck.

Ms. Sinnott: I stumbled into this blog and have thus far found it incredibly (albeit painfully) helpful in understanding my wife’s decision and where her head was/is at. You could be telling her story in many ways. I think it will really help me move toward forgiveness of both myself and my wife. On the other hand, I have to be careful to make sure it doesn’t create more gist for self-flagellation. In any event, I look forward to more insight until it just becomes so painful that I can’t take it anymore.
My heart goes out to you. I write this blog to share my experience, strength and hope with others; but the most important word is HOPE. In my experience I could not move forward with the next chapter of my life unless and until I had learned the lessons that I was meant to learn from the last chapter. Please look at your own journey with non-judgmental awareness and compassion. I believe we are all capable of living our most authentic life after a divorce if we move forward with acceptance and awareness, but not self loathing. My journey led me to become a divorce recovery life coach, making the proverbial lemonade out of lemons. I believe we all have the opportunity to make our lives better, no matter what our circumstances. Please email me at dawn@divorceasacatalyst.com if you’d like to share your experience, strength and hope with me. I would be honored to connect with you.
