Do you believe in fate or angels? I always liked
to think I had a guardian angel, but after a long, drama-filled life, and after
all that has happened to me in just over 7 months I think I have to believe it’s
real.
Also in November a trip I was supposed to be doing with my ex to Penang fell through due to problems with the travel agent.
In January my ex told me our marriage was over.
In January/February I met a wonderful group of women
through One Billion Rising, and
continued the relationship on to Vagina Monologues in March and beyond.
Also in February I met another group of lovely people
through a Meetup group, which I
wouldn’t have joined if I was still with my ex.
In April I moved out on my own and I am beginning to
really appreciate my own company.
Also in April my friend Ruth came to stay and I was
able to facilitate a meeting with a mutual friend that I met through OBR, Anne –
who was already friends with Ruth in a private group on Facebook but hadn’t met
her in person.
In May I met Cathryn Lloyd of Maverick Minds, another wonderfully motivational woman whose story of survival beyond open heart surgery inspired me.
I believe I missed out on my trip to Penang because I wasn’t meant to fly in case the aneurysm burst, even though I had no idea at that time that it even existed.
I believe the deadwood has been cleared from my life (my ex) and the way opened for me to meet people who do care about me. The support of my friends – new and old – will help me through whatever is ahead.
I believe I met Cathryn for a reason – her story inspires me to know that I will get through this latest trauma.
