Bringing in the new year alone at home watching movies. Just hanging out with my fur babies and enjoying some classics from my twenties. I was watching the movie with Brittany Murphy and “Dakota Fanning, “Uptown Girls” along with some other classics. Yet this movie inspired my first blog for the new year.

This movie reminds me of my “Que Sera Sera” mindset. She is so used to getting her own way and having the world fawn at her feet. Not that that is how I am, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that I tend to walk through life with my head in the clouds assuming that my life will just work out. She is the same way. She has had a traumatic childhood because she lost her parents at a very impressionable age. They left behind 100 million dollars because of her dad’s star status as a rock star legend. Her money is stolen from her on her twenty-second birthday by her dad’s money manager. This is when she has to learn hard lessons in life. But her personality never changed. She still just walked through life with rose-colored glasses through it all. Intrigued? Well I will leave it there so if you haven’t seen this movie from 2003, it is a much needed movie on your roster.

The reason that this movie has inspired me to write is because I see a lot of myself in this darling girl. Just walks around in her own little world, ignoring all the problems that are chasing her. Yes, she is still the child that never really grew up, but still she lands on her feet. Eventually she has to grow up and she does, through the help of a little girl. She even finds her passion. None of which would have happened if life wouldn’t have pushed her out of her bubble. So here I am, pushed into my passions through my own trials of life.

2024 is all about pursuing my passions with courage through the fears. If my divorce taught me anything, it’s that staying stagnant is just a waste. I wasted so many years on a narcissistic man, who lets face it, didn’t deserve me. I was blessed to have three children who I had the great privilege to raise into fine young adults. They have scars, but honestly don’t we all? I spent 2022 healing, forgiving myself, and reconnecting with the optimistic personality of ole’, and dropping the negative that had taken over. 2023 was the year of learning about myself and becoming the person I was always meant to be. 

Last year I started college. I want to help other women, who have been in abusive relationships, find the courage to love themselves again and unlearn the negative mindset that was slowly taken over through years of trauma. So I am on the path to get my psychology degree. I had to overcome the idea that 46 is too old. Courage by definition is the ability to do something that frightens you. So with a courageous heart and Holy Spirit directing my path, I have finished my first semester. I love it! I have learned that knowledge is so much fun and freedom is under every new tidbit of information received. I am finally living and the adventure is so exciting!

God has been my rock through this whole process. He never leaves you in the pit. Every trial you go through only strengthens you. I have found that Scriptures are the living word of God. I have had many prophetic words spoken over me these past few months on the concept of my future endeavors and let me tell you my future is bright though challenging. I am excited for the journey. My goal is to keep writing my blog throughout the process. Discipline is the biggest key to any success.Just like Molly, I plan on keeping my optimistic mindset because that is who I am deep down. I, like Molly, always land on my feet. That’s what happens when you allow God to direct your path. It may not always be easy, but it always comes out smelling like roses!

The title of my blog is cited from the last words said in the movie. What an inspiring notion. “Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning.” So I would love to end this blog with a word of gratitude that even when the story you were writing ends, it’s not the end. So as we close up the year of 2023, let’s close the year without looking back, but to the future that we gain in 2024. God is ultimately in control and I find so much solace in that notion. He never fails, so neither will I. Pursue that dream. Do what feeds your soul. We have everything to gain. We have nothing to lose because every step no matter how small is a step forward. Until next time-God Bless

This is a blog that took a lifetime to start writing. So many changes that have happened to me in the past two years. I had a lot of eye-opening realities that I had to face before I was even equipped to begin to write these words.

I was married to a narcissist. There it is! I can finally say this in a matter of fact tone without crying. I was married for twenty-two years. My three beautiful children were almost grown when he finally left me for another woman. The shame it felt to admit that in the beginning.

I prayed for my marriage almost since it’s a conception. I was never good enough to meet all of his expectations, or so I was told. It takes a special kind of person to see a bubbly, spontaneous, confident, joyful person and turn them into a negative, insecure, shell of a human being. Yet, like the slow cooked frog, I became another person entirely. Parts of my truest self came out when I was away from him, but eventually even she started to disappear, and negative Nelly showed up in her place. When you step out of a chaotic and the dust starts to settle, clarity becomes your focus.

This was a very slow process for me, but let me tell you when I took off my rose colored glasses, it was like I stepped into another reality. Nothing made sense and yet everything made sense. I will share so much more with you in the months to come. So this blog is more of an introduction.

My name is Jennifer. I have three children. My handsome twenty-two year old Jonathon, my nineteen year old, I affectionately call “My Vinnie”, and my beautiful seventeen daughter, Angelina. She is my mini me that I categorize as 2.0 or the upgraded version. I am a writer. Well, I have a published book on amazon called (shameless plug) Worship is more than you think” My goal is to get more books published. They are sitting on my phone awaiting to be revealed to the world. I plan on using this blog as a therapeutic outlet, and hopefully help others heal from their emotional pain. In advance, I would like to thank anyone who reads this blog.
