During every unfortunate situation of our lives, there comes that "Aha" moment when we suddenly realize there is a door open straight ahead with a bright light shining to welcome us to a renewal of positive forces.
I woke up this morning to an amazing revelation. I DON'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE!!! This is not something I am jumping up and down about with joy, but at least I know I can go on without him and eventually be happy again.
On the 27th of August I leave for Honolulu, there to go about the islands shopping for just the right place for me and my pets. I am looking forward with much anticipation to my new life in a new place with new people.
In the words of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, "Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last!"
With a bit of sadness in my eyes for the loss of what once was, but with my head high, and my heart and mind ready for a bright, new beginning.

OH Diva!!! I am smiling HUGE for you and your fur family!!!
you know I said, I don't love him,anymore, however learned my love had changed. Loved him as a human, but no longer as my mate.
Can't wait to hear about it all and hopefully get pictures.
HEY!!! There are verrrrry cute pot bellied pigs in Hawaii!!! I know once you raised one inside,you would see how smart,loving, and great fun they are. great way to meet people too!!
hugs,debilyn
was just thinking how it feels funny you moving away,yet we are all only attached by spirit!!! lol
I feel the same. The A's actions killed my love for him. I think that was part of his self hate and self destruction. I have to remove myself in order to protect me.
Wow. I can't imagine what that would feel like. Relief, sadness, confusion, all of the above? At the same time, to begin a new life sounds so exciting. I am happy for you. I sure hope you won't leave MIP even though you will no longer be with the A. We would miss your insight. Besides who will keep me on the straight and narrow? Much love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Congratulations on entering the next phase of your life--sounds like it is all falling into place and that your HP is preparing you to move on without looking back or with any regrets. I hope that the Islands are all that you want them to be!!

Wonderful, that's what it is when one starts to feel for oneself and finds the courage to move on even though there is a part that is sad at the end of a love affair, such as you have experienced and lived and grown through.
I am delighted for you and am keeping you in my prayers as you go island shopping. You are a very special person and I am sure that you will find that special place that is meant just for you and your pets.
What a beautiful way to go and I am so happy for you...just hoping that you will continue coming here as you have become a very special family member to me, as I am sure you are for others. My spirit will be with you as you experience the wonders of those islands, the Honu, and the ocean and the sun and the sand and the amazing culture of that ancient place.
Sending you my love, Suzannah
