New Chapter...New Beginnings

What a week it has been. Tommy was approved for a beautiful apartment late last week and was able to move in over the weekend. We sat Bodhi down on Saturday and explained to him what was going on. He is such an amazing lil boy. While Im not sure he fully understands it all he is VERY VERY VERY excited to have two rooms and reminds me daily that "We are always a family mama...no matter what." 

I feel blessed for the love, support and understanding I have been showered with over the last weeks. Old friends and new friends alike have showed up in such incredible ways. I am such a believer in the "it takes a village" model and I can safely say my village is amazingly RAD. 

As I start the next chapter of my life I do so with a full heart, a peaceful soul and a deep gratitude for the people in my life. I feel that I have slowly been preparing for this over the years and trust that I have the tools I need to create the life I want for Bodhi and me. He is the light in my night, the whisper in my wind, and the reason that I know things will be more then okay. 

These last five years have been full of the highest highs and the lowest lows. I have seen pain that I could never have imagined and felt joy beyond words. I have been blessed with two children and an amazing partner that have allowed me to come into my own and become the woman I am. I have seen where I am headed and it is beautiful. 

Tommy will always be part of my soul. He was my husband for eight years and friend for ten. I can only hope that as we say goodbye to one title we will create a new one that provides depth and love for our son and each other. We have both been at fault and both loved each other deeply....but found out that love is not enough to sustain a marriage. So we bowed out...we let go... and we trust that together we will walk side by side and the journey will continue in a new light.

I am at peace and I believe Tommy is as well. Bodhi...you have given us strength to make take this step. We love you to the moon and back. You are our hearts and you my sweet lil man are the reason we know that we did not fail. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for being you. Thank you for loving us. 

The new chapter starts now.
