Date - and not the kind you eat!

Did I ever share that I went on a date? It’s true – I did! It has been quite a while now, but I guess I am ready to share it openly. His name is Dave and we met through a single parent online dating website. He has a 5 year old (adorable) little girl. We went to eat at 82 Queen in Charleston and had a great conversation – a lot of laughter.

We have not seen each other since the first date but we have kept in touch via the usuals (email, FB and text). He is a great guy but moreover, it was good for me to be able to allow myself to open up to the possibility of dating.

Ok – it is out there. I am open to dating and the possibility of finding someone that loves and accepts Tanner and me as a package deal!

It's Just Hair! Day 1

To kickoff the 30 Days and 30 New Ways , I decided to GO BIG or GO HOME! This challenge is designed to evoke inspiration and motivation. Try something new every chance you can. It can be as big as a new haircut or as small as changing up your coffee order. I am still hoarding ideas and looking for any of you to join me on this journey. Remember, magic happens outside your comfort zone. Ok; enough waiting. Courtney at Rolf's salon gave me this new do! Here are the inspiration photos that I showed to her and then I said, "go for it!" #30days30newways #ReAwaken

Defeat. Weakness. Tears. Loneliness.

I struggle constantly with what to do about Tanner’s dad, Kirt. Every day I struggle because I do not currently know how to be without him. Deep down, I know he is not this mythical “ONE” that every one speaks of. Deep down I know that there is someone better out there for me. However, there are days (long days) when I question if the ONE exists for me. There is more to this struggle. There are patterns that need to be broken. Confidence needs to be found. Self-love needs to be unveiled. If any of you reading this has any suggestions, especially from first-hand experience, I would love to hear from you. *Regardless of Kirt's role in Tanner's life, I need to move beyond him and unmesh my emotions from his actions.
