New Beginnings, New Me...

I have been busy these couple of days post surgery. Aside from TLC and pampering massage, I have been everywhere organising my life. I have been preparing for a family court conference for a property settlement (not much to settle but hey he wants half of my super and whatever I own).Very soon my divorce will be absolute but yesterday was monumental as I have changed my name back to my maiden name. Things are coming together thank GOD both my personal and medical.

I came to australia 1996 and have always worked. I have looked after everyone and somehow forgot about the number 1,ME.The last 4 years wasn't easy. 2009 was my separation,2010 I was diagnosed with my condition,2011 my mother passed away and wasn't in the position to be there for the funeral as I was just a mess and 2012 my ex still continues to give me hell as I have ended the marriage after nearly 13 years. I was adivised to step back and re evaluate my situation and learn to love and look after myself a bit more.

2013 is my year. My condition greatly improved,scored a great position at work and finally got my Provisional driving licence after holding my learner's for years lol. It's just one of the things I never got around doing. So ladies and gents, anyone living in australia,visit Darwin Northern Territory with caution. No, its not the crocodiles that roam around freely in the highway.Its me legally allowed to drive everyday lol.Take care all.Lizaxxx

Gosh Liza you must be a strong person!! I would be sobbing and weeping for years after just one of these events!! I am glad you are getting near the end of the divorce settlement, it must be very hard but it sounds as though that is the best solution for you.

How wonderful to then get a great job and starting to drive. I am going to see Beyonce soon and I think when she does single ladies I will be thinking of the strong independent woman that is you! Well done and keep that lovely head up ! Xxx

Sobbing and weeping..done all that allnah, got nothing left lol.It is the best solution, at times we need to do things that we believe its right for us. I've had enough appeasing people and now I don't give a toss what others say. One thing I have learnt over the years, I cannot please everybody. I cannot make everyone like me and that is fine. I just be me all the time and as long as I am not hurting anyone and compromising anyone, I sleep well at night. I love Beyonce...yeah need to learn to do the moves hey lol.xxx
