HOUSE OF KB

I have always wanted to write. I have, actually, for years. But I don't think the adolescent ramblings of a tween or the documentation tendencies of a young adult count. I've recently reread them. So I can tell you, they don't. Now I need a place to be free. Unfettered. As I figure out this new space and place in my life. Newly single mom. Business owner. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend. But no longer wife. Grab a cup, sit on the comfy couch and chat with me.

Well, How About That? We're ONE!

It has been a year. Last year on this day I hit publish for the first time. It started as a little place for me. To process and vent and share my journey. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Start. Shuffle if you can't step.

But they were May to December. From the time I first found out to when he moved out. So in that way, a calendar year works. 2017 was the year it all went to Hell. In a spectacular fashion. Which is kinda how I do things. 2018 was the year I started to breathe. I wanted it to be the year I thrived. I even

Still Waters Run Deep.

That is one of my favorite quotes. I use it all the time. As a reminder and permission and hope, even. But the truth is that right now the waters aren't still. The quote is a bit of a trick really. The impact zone has settled. We were pulled under with the force but have since popped back up. Not the same as we were, no, but the active hurt and betrayal and discovery is over. The active disturbance is done. So you breathe. Then you remember, the impact zone settles first. But
