My Journey, my story
Hi everyone, I want to share some of my story of being on my own that might help or inspire others to do the same and know it can be done!
I know that there are a lot of single women and moms out there and sometimes you might think that you just can’t do things on your own and you have kids to take care of, the house, working and whatever else and you just start to feel overwhelmed.
I get that, I’ve been there and done that! And there is one thing that I’ve learned from being on my own and taking care of everything that is on my shoulders and feeling overwhelmed…you can do it!!
Take a little time even just a few minutes a day right after you get up or maybe right before bed for yourself just to relax and not stress over what needs to be done or what should have been done etc.
You can do this on your own!! There are thousands of us that have been there and made it through just fine. Yes, it can get stressful not saying it won’t be and yes it is hard until you get your feet firmly on the ground. But it can be done, and you can do it!
We don’t need anyone but ourselves!! We don’t need to rely on any man or anyone else to get us through this life because it's our life and it’s our decision and I’m telling you if you put your mind to it then it can be done!!
I’ve been on my own for coming up on 5 years next year in March and yes, I’ve struggled but I’ve also learned a lot about myself! I’m stronger than I ever thought that I could be!
When we separated I took 2 of my sons and went to live with one of my besties while my oldest son was staying with his bestie and hubby and my daughter went to stay with some friends 3 hours away.
But within 2 years I got out and I have gotten my own apartment and we started with nothing, but a few tubs of our stuff packed in the back of my car! It took 2 trips here to get everything that we had to our apartment. So while we started with nothing I’ve built up a nice apartment and yes it took some hard work with long hours sometimes not even having 1 day off during the week but it was worth it to get where I am today.
And the best part of it for me is that I have continued to do what I love and that works out of my home office and be the best person that I can be while doing so.
To be continued….
Much Love Always from your Queen of Random - Lisa
