    Hi sisters!
    I don’t think I’ve posted this before…I meant to, but don’t think I ever did it. (See how addled my PTSD brain is right now?!!). Anyway, I wanted to share this dance piece my daughter Claire’s ballet teacher choreographed for Claire’s group this year. It’s called Shades, and it’s depicting the ghosts of women who were abused or murdered. I found it so powerful, especially being performed by these young ladies. So on National Dance Day, this is dedicated to all of you beautiful, strong, fighting sisters. xoxo

    Thank you so much, ladies. Lisa, in the beginning, she’s the second one from your right. The “fairest” one (she hates that, lol). Like mama, like daughter! 😉

    Thank you, Lisa. So sweet! Unlike me, she’s tall (5’7″), so visually the back is better. Plus the girls in the front (all soon to be dance majors!) were well deserving seniors! More importantly, beautiful strong girls. God please don’t let them ever encounter this nightmare…

    Thank you, NAP. I am! This has been a tough year for her…realizing the douche bag her dad is. My heart breaks too many times in any given day. I’m proud of her spirit and beauty, and so grateful she has her circle of dance friends to lean on.

    I’m really proud of you ZG standing up for yourself. You’re teaching your daughter what’s healthy and what’s not in a relationship. I know it’s hard and I know you’ll make it through and have a fresh start.
    Love you, Napxo

    So hard, NAP. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve had many more frozen days in the past month or 2 than I’d like to admit…not working on the divorce. But I also have had a different attorney experience than you. Thank you for giving me a platform. You are so strong. xoxo

    Ohhh ZG I was the same during my divorce. It was an experience like none I’d ever had before. Very stressful and I think both our hs are assholes and turned into evil monsters during the divorce which makes it more stressful. Like you I was very stressed and just getting by. My therapist said I was hysterical (I had a lot of inappropriate laughter, it was my way of coping yet I was very stressed). Thinking of you ZG and be gentle with yourself. I’m sorry for your suffering…love you, Nap

    Thank you, dear NAP. When I first read of your experience 2 years ago, I remember thinking, “What a monster. I can’t imagine my h being like that.” And here I am…facing the monster head on. Love you too!!
