Starting my life over...
Sometimes in life things happen and they can be very tiny things, or they can be very large things. We never know when these things are going to occur, Where we are going to be, or what is going to happen to us exactly.
Starting your life over can be a big or small step no matter how you look at it. It really is a big step to say "I am starting over" , But its the small steps that get us there. So many of you wonder why I want to start over.. I can say this for positive.. I don't want to change everything, I don't want to change anything with my three beautiful children.
What I can say is that certain things happened In the time frame from When we landed for April's Florida trip and came home and worse after ( please know I am not speaking of April's surgery) that changed a lot for me. I have been asked why I'm now using Seyfried as my last name by several people and the answer is because I am not staying married.
God guided me to find the truth out one day... And I mean the whole truth !!! It was something I was more than shocked by... I don't even have words for it but I press on. I keep moving and nothing will push me down again, I won't let it !! So I am starting my life over now !
How do I go about this ? That is a great question, I asked myself that same question so many times.. and i realized its a matter of not looking back.. not looking back at the bad things in the past or the good things even. I am looking at what i have right now and I am happy with my life because i am not being hurt. This is the first time i have ever said "I am starting over". Many other times i said I give up, or something else however not this time.. I have taken the right steps this time and its hard to explain how i did that..
What have i done different is:

What have i done different is:
- Thought more of myself.. I know i am worth more than what i was getting.
- Got a hobby I love, My jewelry.. And it helps my nerves and it is enjoyable
- My kiddos.. We are different now.. how do i explain this, They can express themselves to me now and it is different is such a wonderful way.
- I am living life to the fullest (as much as possible) in the way I want to, not the way someone else wants to.. Or wants me to
So yes i am doing this and even though what happened was a blow to my mind I am okay.. Did i cry? No.. Sounds crazy i know.. See i have been put through so much already and this is just something that is in my book UNFORGIVABLE.. Its not something to cry over, Not something i got sad over, or even disappointed over. I got mad is what i did.. I think if i looked in the mirror my face looked like a hot red cherry tomato.. Yes MAD !! But i took the right course of action..
This being said.. I am using Seyfried as my last name and that is what it will remain.. It is not because I am with all this feminist stuff or anything like that.. its not because i want people to guess, it is because I don't want that other last name..
I hope everyone out there that is not happy turns their life around.. It can be hard but after you do it you can be a lot happier !! That is how i feel.. One last note : If a voice in your head tells you to do something, listen to it.. Trust me.. Its guiding you to something important..
God Bless All
