Preface

I feel like I have been single my entire life.

Even when I was married, the first time around.

My ex husband had a mistress, so to speak, who was, apparently, much more seductive than myself.

This mistress, I'll call her "Mary Jane" (yes, you know what I mean), took him away, changed his personality, and made our marriage literally go up in smoke.

She's still got her hooks in him, and is continuing to ruin his life, his relationships, and his health.

So the grape vine tells me, anyway.


Then, there was another man.

My ex fiance.

But, he had a mistress, too.

This mistress was human, though, and was married.
With kids.

Apparently, she was also more seductive than myself.

It was that, or my ex fiance was just a man whore. Which he was.

Actually, they were BOTH whores.
Pretty much.
Yeah.

They were perfect for each other in that way.

Anyway, their whoring around with one another broke up two perfectly happy families.

I had fallen in love with my ex fiance's kids, and his mom. I loved his family on the whole.
It was reciprocated, too. They adored me.

I was ready to marry him, and to be a part of that family.

When the cheating became evident, due to my confronting them with it....it was letting go of his family that, in the long run, hurt the most.

Despite his begging me to stay, I left him, and got my own place.

Then came several years of abject solitude. Actually living alone for the first time in my life, and being alone most of the time.

I was used to being alone, but living alone...knowing that there was not going to be anyone else sleeping anywhere else under my roof....that was new.

I dated.

Oh my god....I dated.....(and, perhaps, some of those stories will be told in these pages), but I was still very much alone.

And the loneliness wore on me.
It caused me to start to become bitter, and to feel hopeless.

Until The Universe intervened.....

I will tell more about that in another post.

For now, I just want to say that this blog is going to be the story of where I came from, some of the people I've known, and my life in general....

But mostly, it will be about the process of meeting, falling in love with, and marrying, the man who was meant for me.

It will be about what it is going to take in order for us to be together (we are currently living 800 miles apart).

It will be about the new life we are going to start, eventually...and hopefully, it will continue on to be the story of that life, as it moves forward.

Provided I can find the time, energy, and inspiration to write on a semi-regular basis!

Welcome to Spirits Dance Home.

I hope you'll enjoy it here.
