Valentine’s MONTH is right around the corner, so you know Silly is prepping for it NOW. It’s going to be an amazing month, which will be kicked off by a Warrant/Firehouse concert on February 1 and will be followed by, what I believe, will be the best comeback a girl can ever work towards.

It really is time to stop moping around and start pushing myself toward the life I had worked so hard for. There was an end goal, but it was put on hold when I allowed someone else’s decision to cloud my vision.

Silly used to say, “Life does not end with a diagnosis.” whenever she attempted to help others. Now, she is saying, “Life does not end after a divorce”.

Ten things I learned (that helped) during this “growth period” (so far), are:

1. Crying does not mean you are weak

2. You can have fun, even though you are completely broken inside

3. Your self worth is not dependent on other’s opinions of you

4. Encouragement comes from the least likely people

5. Be nice to EVERYONE (yes, even that person)

6. Always show compassion toward others (even strangers)

7. Sharing your life, good & bad, helps others in similar situations

8. You can take breaks, but never lose sight of your goals

9. Love them, even when they can’t love you back

10. If you feel stuck…you’re not (everything is figureoutable)

There will be a lot of much needed ME time and ME things getting done, in My Silly Life, so I ask for your prayers for continued growth, health and success.

As always, thank you for reading this installment of My Silly Life. I love and thank those of you who have been around for it’s 14 years of existence and, to those of you who just joined…if it’s not for you, I will not be offended if you choose to move along.

Remember, it’s never too early to plan for something/someone special. Especially if that someone is YOU.

That being said, please know, I love you and wish you the best Valentine’s MONTH ever!
