Did you ever lose everything, and then make it again?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:When my first husband and I divorced, I walked away with pretty much nothing but my three children and some old furniture. I had to rent a relative’s house and she left me with some of her old stuff. I was studying full-time and wasn’t earning anything. My current husband was left with very little after his first relationship broke down too. Six months after we got together he was retrenched. Huge change from being in a very well paid, high profile position. We pretty much had nothing between us but each other and three children to look after. Within 11 years we both have great careers, we are financially very secure and most importantly, we are happy, healthy and our (mine but he is more of a dad to them than their real dad has ever been) children are happy and healthy. Where you are isn’t the end of the world, it is a fork in the road of your life journey. Have a vision in your mind about where you want to go from here, what you want to achieve and start taking one step at a time down that path. I agree we have many lives. I think I am on to about my fourth and I have no doubt I will have changes ahead of me I don’t anticipate and some of them will be challenging. That’s the fun of life. Never knowing what’s coming next. As long as you believe in yourself, you can get through any of those challenges.
