My Unanticipated Life

 It has been an unbelievable year.  On February 8, 2020 AJ and I got married. He was so positive that it was what he wanted to do. I had visions of two bad marriages and how I didn’t enter either one planning on failure. I knew I was not good a picking a spouse.

That was all I ever considered for my life. But Sunday’s were the day that God let me feel the need to not be alone.  Never considered that there was another alone person praying for someone special in their life.  And a hook up from Heaven was made.  Christmas Eve last year (2018) John fo...

December 24, 2018 Evening.... Christmas Eve. This was my third Christmas totally alone. And it was the third one that my friend Micah insisted I spend with her family so I would not be alone.  There was food, there were games, kids, adults, laughter, fudge, more food, gifts, and pictures being posted to facebook with me getting tagged to them. So my phone kept buzzing.  I had lived in this community since 1992. I left a bad marriage and moved to the slower country life of Wise County Texas.  When I lived here long enough I filed for divorce and settled down to live on a few acres with dogs, horses, goats, and ducks/chickens/geese.  I commuted to the office I had in Dallas where I worked in partnership with my mother in a Natural Health business.  It was a life long passion for me.  Time marched on with me living single and my mother getting older. In 2001, she had her 80th birthday. She sold her house and moved in with me.  In the following ...
