Past generations may disagree, but it’s 2010 people and I’m here to tell you differently.
Divorce (IMO) is reset button. It’s a chance for me to build a better life for myself, to learn to be independent, to grow as an individual as opposed to as a “couple”, an opportunity to find new happiness, it’s freedom from “us” and now it’s All About ME!
Sure I had it easy because my Ex and I are still friends and our split was for the most part quite amicable. And I realize in many cases it may not seem so much “greener grass”, but for me it is… or at least this is how I choose to perceive it.
So why should I be subjected to feeling pitied for? Why should I be made to feel guilty for celebrating this milestone in my life?
It’s time society change their views. I am not a victim. I don’t need your sad faces when I mention I’m divorced. I am embracing my decision to end the life I started and begin anew.
Perhaps I just need to develop a new term or hybrid of the word to make my situation more acceptable to others. Would that help?
Suggestions are welcome in comments!

Figured I’d put up a little life update as summer is winding down…and what a summer it has been for this dear Diva.
As of Wednesday, Aug. 11th the former Mr. Diva and I are officially Divorced. I haven’t made much mention of it here, but many of you knew and I am sure many more of you figured it.
Things ended amicably and we still remain friends, which is great compared to some of the horror stories of divorce I’ve heard.
Now that I am a free agent I’m celebrating my single-dom and really enjoying my life as an independent. Even though it can (and does) get a little lonely at times, but hey that’s why they make pets, right?
Adjusting to a single income has probably been the biggest challenge, but I am managing and will continue to find ways to cut back and live with-in my means even if it means no new shoes or fancy makeup 
So what’s next?
Well in addition to a site redesign and the relaunch of the podcast, I think I’m just going to live life and see what comes along. I figure I’ll either find the right path or it will eventually find me 
More posts in Draft coming soon! I never did finish up the recap of #Bloggersinbabeland so be on the lookout!

One year ago my life started over. I chose a new path for my future and embarked on a mission to find a new happiness.
Over the weekend I stepped back into my old my old life for a moment…I revisited my old home, which I left behind seven months ago.
I’d been meaning to make time to go back and pick up a few items I’d left behind, but each time I found an excuse not to. I guess I felt like it would always be there for me even though I know it wont.
In my head there is a piece of me that feels like I am living in that life still. When I think of Home… when I speak of “home”… that is the place my mind sees.
I wonder how much longer before I feel at “home” in my new dwelings…Will I ever? Perhaps never. Maybe I am not supposed to, maybe this is an intermidate between homes and I should continue to look forward to the future and what comes next.
I guess I’m just happy …
That I finally took the time to go back.
That now I might be able to find some closure.
That I can look to a future of my choice.
That I have a place of my own, despite it not feeling a home.
That in the past year I have grown to learn so much about who I am, just me, and continue to do so every day.
That I have all that I do despite all the mistakes I have made in my past and the life I left behind.
“I’m not like them but I can pretend
The sun is gone but I have a light
The day is done but I’m having fun
I think I’m dumb or maybe just happy
Think I’m just happy…”
