It’s a Thursday and I’m feeling like the week is going by so slowly. Do you ever feel that way? I can hardly wait for the weekend to finally start. I feel like most of us could use a little pick-me-up or some sort of inspiration during the middle of the week, don’t you think? So, I thought of starting a once a week post, every Thursday, on something that helped inspire me and share it with you guys. 

To start off, I chanced upon this post on someone’s Facebook wall and found it really pretty visually speaking. The quote, however, was what touched me the most. 

This quote touched me because it reminded me of that time when I decided I didn’t want to be with my then-husband anymore. As much as I still have feelings for him, the life we had wasn’t what I wanted and I didn’t see any chance that we could still work it out. Deciding that I wanted out was the first step I  made in order to move forward, in the hopes of finding the life that I wanted and deserved. It was a very scary first step to make because I was journeying into the unknown, with two kids in tow. It was difficult but I was hopeful. I knew something better was out there waiting for us ….. and what do you know, I was right. I met my present hubby just a few short weeks after that and to be honest, it’s not happily ever after (‘coz that stuff happens just in the movies) but I can say that I’m in a better, more secure, happier state.

I hope this inspires you to make the first step into the life you’ve always wanted to have. Come back again next Thursday for more inspirations!

you can raise positive kids in a negative world.”
