I Will Survive!

At first I was afraid,
I petrified.
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights,
Thinking how you did me wrong (!),
And I grew strong...
And I learned how to get along!

I have been singing this song all day, it is my new addiction. :-) I love any women with that "I will survive" attitude! And I will survive, because I am a STRONG woman, with a STRONG faith. In fact, my situation way is really leading me to help other women with divorce. Every woman needs a support team, and I am more than willing to share my knowledge and help guide them. I am all for women protecting women...it should be what we all do.

I also feel like women should want a man, not need a man. Ladies, we are way too strong for "needing" anyone but God. And please, when you decide you want a man, make sure he wants you...just like my song says...

I'm saving all my love for someone who's lovin' me!

When you do find a man (for all my single ladies)....please make sure that he...

* Is a faithful man of God, willing to guide your family spiritually. If he does not put God first in everything, he isn't worth having.

* Loves you for who you are. Doesn't get tired of your looks, health probs, etc... And in return, you love him regardless of looks, etc...

* Knows that you are in it because you want to be, not because you need to be. The only thing you NEED in your life is God. Everything else is a want.

* Is faithful to you, if they have ever cheated, move on. You know the old adage, "Once a cheater, always a cheater."

* Loves his family, but is willing to defend you over them. This is your mate, he should always stand up for you.

* And if he has ever hurt another woman, please, PLEASE, do not think that you are different. If a man can hurt a woman so deeply and have no emotions about it, he is only capable of truly loving himself.


I am all for finding love. My unfortunate circumstance does not make me hate the thought of relationships. I will not let anyone take that away from me. I am simply more cautious now...I must fully know someone before I jump in. And above all, I wouldn't hurt my kids with a relationship right now, they would not understand. They don't know why I would need someone else to make me happy when I have them. And I respect that, coming from divorced parents

My kids will always be my first priority in life. As long as they are taken care of, I am happy. I want to help the to overcome all of the emotional struggles during this chaotic time. I would never do anything to hurt them. I love them more than anything in this world.
