I am at a place in my blogging where I am unsure what to do.
So much of my life is about my feelings and emotions about being divorced.(which, by the way should be finalized any day now.) So much of what I deal with on a day to day basis is about the life of a single woman. I rarely mention that on this here blog that I have now had for 6 years! I'm super good at faking it, right?
My kids read this blog so there is a lot I don't want them to know about yet. I want life to be as normal for them as it can be.
But at the same time I wish so badly that I would have had a blog I could have read in the beginning that would have helped me through so many hard times. I needed someone I could connect with. Now I am finding and reading blogs and articles of lots of women going through and overcoming hard times. I don't think they are dealing with the same moral issues that I have had to face... and that is where I want to be a helping hand to someone who is going through what I have had to face. There is comfort in knowing others are going through the pain too. There is strength in learning about others who are on the other side of this chapter that I am still in the middle of. I want to be that person for someone else.
Although I am definitely not out of the dark tunnel yet; I am still living the craziness; I have learned so much and could share what I have learned because even though I am in the midst of it I am stronger and more determined now than I have ever been. My Spiritual muscles have grown SO much! I have insights that I didn't have before. I have a belief system that has kept me moving forward and a team of cheerleaders who have been there to hear me out when I needed a good cry session.
Anyway, without unloading dirty laundry on the blogger world I feel like I could share the last 4 years of my life. It's not all crap and grossness. There is much beauty to be found in trials. My tender mercy's list is getting long and lengthy. I want to share that stuff too.
Do I share it all on my family blog here? Do I create a new blog and have 2 different blogs going on? Do I do it anonymously to protect the guilty? I barely have time to keep up this one blog and I doubt it really gets that much traffic to make that much difference.
Hmmmmm... I have pondered this dilemma for many months... years in fact. Maybe I need to do it for me too as an outlet; maybe to write a book about someday. Really I could. How about a memoir? Personal essays? One thing that I do know for a fact... well, a few things.
1) We all have trials.
2) Our trials are all different
3) The answers for overcoming our various trials are all the same.
4) Sunday School answers are for REALS.
Ideas? Opinions? Thoughts?
Amen.

I'm sure so many people could benefit from you sharing more. But if you don't want your kids to read about it yet, it's pretty easy to start another blog. That's what i would do. Right now I have a private blog that I use as a journal when I don't want in-laws and friends reading my every thought. Whatever you do, you should definitely write a book someday. I don't care what it's about, I'll buy it! :)
