I told you I'd spill the tea and I'd keep it real. That's what I'm doing and that's what I'm still doing. So here we go. It's me, Scarlett Davis, the future single lady. This is my story of how I sometimes clawed my way through the divorce and why. I wanted a divorce. How it affected me, sometimes on a day by day basis. And just because it starts up one day, doesn't mean it stays up all day. And just because it starts down one day, doesn't mean that things stay down all day. Get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about emotions and spirit and attitude. It's fine. You can keep your mind in the gutter if you want to. I personally say that my mind stays in the gutter and that gutter is about the size of the Grand Canyon. So if you want your mind to be in the gutter, go right ahead. Just honestly, it's going to be a while before, uh, well, just before you see any evidence of my mind being in the gutter. But that's some of the ups and downs that come down the road, a bit. Right now, this is the beginning of what is, and kind of sets the tone for what will be, I guess? Or, I don't know. It's me, future single lady, and I am not qualified in any way to give any kind of advice. Medical, mental, emotional, spiritual, I'm just talking and I'm sharing my story. I hope you enjoy it, or at least that you're entertained by it. That's all I'm asking for. And if you're not, oh, well, that's okay. If it's not your cup of tea, this is my tea and I'm the one who's spilling it. So enjoy. Keeping things going now. February 20th, 2024. Up in Adam and Georgia McFadden. Not sure why that's in my head, but okay. Slept in, woke up fantasizing about my future sexually satisfied adventures. Big smiley face. I'm so very looking forward to that. Ah, smiley face. Slept in because I'm not going to work until son goes off to MEPS. Just decided this second he needs a good breakfast, so I'm taking him out. 727, 733, these are just numbers and signs that I wanted to research these angel numbers. Son agreed to breakfast. Daughter said no, that she was skipping practice, but has finally requested a chocolate donut with sprinkles. Smiley face! Trait of the day from best future me is productivity and generous love to all, I think. Smiley face. Looking forward to this. Also, I have noted that husband Has been significantly kinder and sweeter to the kids since this all went down. Makes me wonder if I should have done this a long time ago. But the answer is no, resoundingly. The kids weren't ready. His job situation. Roll there. I've decided to keep myself in alignment with my sole purpose for a long time, and I've been doing quite well at it. All for the greatest good, so I know this is the perfect timing. I'm so glad, happy, and relieved! Exclamation mark. I look forward to sending temporary orders to the lawyer today and filing taking place today so I will feel the relief of it done, smiley face. My jacket still smells like cat pee, noticed it when the sun was shining on it on the way back from Mathis yesterday, sad face. Still don't, still don't recall any dreams lately. Think I fell asleep around 10, woke up at 12, 1209 to turn off the TV and put headphones on. Angel number 5. Explore my creativity, blessings, etc. 205. It even said in the description, ever been going down the road and see 205 on your odometer? Jaw drop. Uh, yeah, that literally just happened. I need to shop for an outfit for my friend's wedding on Friday. Gift will be 50 cash. Just easier. I'm so excited. Looking forward to getting things done! Double exclamation mark. So that was my journal entry for that day. Not a long one. You see, this is not the first time that I've said that, that the husband started behaving nicer to the children and Because he was behaving so nicely and it was such a difference between how he had been Behaving towards them that I couldn't help but wonder should I have done this a long time ago? So that he would be nicer to them, but I know that no one was truly ready for that and truly In 2017, so seven years earlier, six, well, it's 2024 when it happened. Yes. So seven years earlier, we had actually called it quits. His daughter was living with us and she was manipulating us in the worst possible ways. And she also had his family helping her with that. And our family, our household had gone through three deaths in three months. And we were still just so spiraling from all of that, and then plus all of her drama. And that's another story for another day. I'll add it to the list. But there was a lot going on. And the job situation that I had referred to, he had gotten himself fired. His arrogance got him fired. And he had been with this company for, I think, 12 years. And there were some deceptive practices going on. And In a nutshell, a lot of the employees, the old, the old employers wanted their company back, who they sold it to, didn't want to sell. And so they started playing hardball and were taking the best employees. Thankfully, oh man, who would have ever thought that a trip to Orlando would save somebody their job, but that's exactly what happened in this case. So there was, there was a mass exodus. People leaving the company, going to the new company that the old owners had created and My husband didn't receive his offer letter from them because we were on vacation. We were half a country away, and they were being respectful of the fact that we were on vacation and they weren't going to drop a bombshell like that on him while we were supposed to be enjoying ourselves at a huge expensive resort. On the way back though, somebody did drop the ball, or did, uh, Drop the ball on him and told him, and there's, they said, man, the only reason you haven't gotten your offer letter yet is because you know, this and this and that. Well, the shit hit the fan before then basically the company that they worked for, I don't know if all of this was going on right then, but we'll, we'll just say there was cease and desist orders and there was confiscation of laptops and cell phones. And stuff like that. And my husband kept his job for a while longer and he was not involved in a lawsuit against the people who left. And because he didn't leave, he wasn't involved in that lawsuit. So, whew! Uh, thank you Disney and Universal because that, that kept us from being in that situation because he would have been right in the middle of it. Uh, now what did get him fired is, as all those people were being sued, well one, the company found As they were going through one of the employees emails on the laptop, they found an email from my husband that had some proprietary information. I think it was a list of customers or something like that. And that's how they were able to clamp down on my husband. And basically their attitude was. We can't go after that after they interviewed him about this whole thing and he he knew he was getting the axe right then and So of course he went in with all kinds of bravado and had his story prepared for how things happened And now I will tell you he knew full well what he was doing He was hooking his buddy up because they were all gonna be doing this this stuff together, but he told them that He goes, I, you know, I didn't think anything about it, you know, when, when he asked me for this information, you know, I just was thinking about my coworker, my buddy, whatever, so I emailed it to him. He said, but in hindsight, he said if I had it all to do all over again, he said I'd do the same. Jaw drop, needle scratch, what? You're talking to human resources and your bosses and everybody else knowing that other people are getting sued for this stuff, but you're telling them, Oh, I'd do it all over again. Instead of just sticking with, with your bullshit lie about, Oh, it didn't occur to me this and that, whatever, blah, blah, blah. I'm so sorry. Oh no. You got to put in some bullshit bravado. I'd do it all over again. Fucker. Your paycheck pays the bills and you got people depending on you. But. I didn't know until after I said I didn't want to be married to him, that I was married to a narcissist. And the whole thing about a narcissist, the, the whole, the whole name, Narcissist, comes from Narcissus, from ancient Greek. Who loved himself so much, he spent all his time gazing at his reflection in a pool of water because he was so gorgeous and so beautiful. Who could want, who couldn't possibly want to be with him? He was so amazing and so gorgeous. Everybody should want him. Everybody should want to be him. And that is narcissistic behavior. There are all kinds of different classifications. of narcissist and everyone engages in some type of behavior, some type of narcissistic behavior at some point in time, but typically if you're even asking whether or not you're a narcissist, that kind of pretty much disqualifies you from being there because if you actually care enough to ask and I, I can say these things because you will find out if you continue on that I actually did the research on this so you can go down that rabbit hole with me. So that I'm not just doing some armchair psychology, even though it might still fall into that category because I'm not a psychologist. I'm not a, a trained professional in any of that, but according to everything in it's yeah, maladaptive narcissist. So he got fired because the company said, Even though people fought for him and said, this is bullshit. This is crazy. You've heard his thing. He doesn't deserve to get fired. La la la. And they said, well, we can't be literally spending millions suing these other people for debilitating our business and let him get off scot free and we can't just give him a slap on the wrist. He's got to be fired. So he got fired. Thankfully he was well known in his industry. Finding another job wasn't an issue and I was just debating over whether or not to go more into that And you know what? I will go ahead and say this. So you remember how I said that his mother Knew important things before I did Guess who was literally the last person to find out that her husband had been fired even my children Knew before I did Yeah, let that sink in for a minute My children who were either 16 and 17 or 15 and 16 at the time They knew That their dad had been fired hours before their mother did Number one that is not fair or right to put that kind of pressure on children Just not cool. I guess number one really should have been What we all know. The wife should have known first. His thing was that I was at work, and he had to handle business, and he didn't want to disturb me at work. Okay, I get that, I understand that, I appreciate that. But there is certain respect that should be shown to the person you're putting your dick inside of. I'll just be, be foul and blunt like that. The person you're putting it in ought to have some kind of idea of what the hell's going on, right? I appreciate that. Oh no, but you go running to mommy first. Mm. Mm hmm. And again, that's kind of an underscoring thing with our relationship. That was the kind of value that my husband put in his wife. Okay, so the way that whole wit thing went down, I got home and he needed to talk. We were outside by our trucks and, and he's telling me that he's got to talk to me and he goes through this spiel and he tells me and I said, okay, Okay. I said, well, I know that you will never allow it to be called into question whether or not you are adequately providing for your family. His jaw dropped. And I said, so my question to you is what do I need to do to support you through this situation? And he's continuing to stare at me. And I said, the bills are due to draft out on this Friday and there's money in the account for that. Or you should be getting or whatever. And I said, do I need to stop anything? But I said, because if I need to stop anything, I need to do it now before things electronically are going on, on the bank's side of things. And I tell him about, and he was telling me about how people were instantly that there's one person in particular who was prepared to give him 20, 000. He's like, oh man, I know you're good for it. I'll give you a 20, 000 check right now. Scarlett's got us all taken care of with money. You know, she does all this Dave Ramsey stuff and you know, la la la on and on like this, and I told him, I said, well, thank you. I said, but with regards to that, number one, we paid cash for that car that we bought for our son and we used family funds on that that still haven't been replenished and. This and that so basically I gave him a quick rundown of where we stood financially and it's not as good as he thought Thought things were and I said we probably have enough money in the bank, especially with the check that should be coming in Which should include some of your commission that we should be good for for about another month and beyond that I can't really Make any promises about anything and he said, okay He goes well just so you know I had you know I had multiple people offering me money on the spot one guy One person was offering me twenty thousand dollars because he knows i'm good for it And I was like, that's great. That's wonderful. I said, but I need to know what I need to do to support whatever it is that you're, you're doing. Cause I know you already have things going on. And I will, I will tell you that, um, I'm not being grandiose about him at all. There was a point in, in, in our lives when it averaged to out to about once a month, somebody would approach him out of the blue with a job offer. You know, sometimes it might be two in one month and then, you know, maybe six, eight weeks later, there would be another job offer. Like, Hey. So and so's got or I got this thing going on now. I want you to come work for me. I know I'm good I'm good where I am and The place that he was getting fired from or had just gotten fired from at this point They he had actually he knew that he had been on their radar for about a year because they'd been speaking to him off and On for about a year He found out after he got hired on that it had actually been two years that they had been scouting him He just didn't know it. He's good. He's good at what he does. He's You He's just also an asshole. He's really good at being an asshole, too. And with the more power that he got, the more it went to his head, and he thought he couldn't be touched. And, basically, he's been taken down a few rungs since then. I don't know all the details. Um, this, the one I'm telling you now is probably the one that I have the most details on, and even that is, well, there's some questionable stuff. So, his arrogance, I don't know. Cost him his job and one year before I'm just gonna go ahead and say we drive Toyota Tundras and We were each on our second one. His was only two years old. Mine was four years old he was just itching to get a new one this man could spend money like nobody's business and He did a lot of traveling for work and it was something that he really bragged about a lot And this one particular trip, he was going to be up at the San Angelo branch. And then I think he was going to be shooting on to maybe Dallas or something? I don't recall. But, so he was up there. He was going to um, go on over to Abilene and stay with my family there. And then the kids and I were going to drive up. I was so tired. I think I had taken my daughter to, taken her to the bus that morning. It was a Friday morning for the track meet. For And so six o'clock in the morning, whatever time it was, that I'm dropping her off at the school. I have a full day of work and then it's homecoming that night. And so my daughter goes with her friends and the dance is over about midnight and I'm there to pick her up, and they go to IHOP, so I take her to IHOP, she goes in with her friends, I sit in the parking lot while they do whatever, and then finally she comes, comes back out, and we go home, get in bed, crash for, for a few hours, and then 530 in the morning we're, we're on the road again to go drive the 400 miles to Abilene. I was so tired. I had driven for about, I don't think it had even been an hour, and I told my babies, Hey guys, I'm gonna pull over here on the side of the road. Everything is okay. I'm just very tired and The doors are gonna be locked and everything else, but I just need to close my eyes for about 15 minutes But everything's okay. I said, okay mom, so That's how tired I was That I was trying to be responsible and then there was another time That I had to pull over on the side of the road like that that there was just only so much sitting there That I could do That you know just wasn't making me sleepy. So needless to say by the time I had completed the 400 miles To Abilene whenever I pulled in I was just looking forward to getting my truck parked and getting things out and getting getting my ass inside And just and hitting the hay the idea was to get there early on saturday since we didn't get to leave on friday And get as much time with family as we could but it just I was stretching myself way too thin Well turns out that as I was focusing on pulling into the driveway At the back of the house, I wasn't paying attention to the driveway at the front of the house, which held a brand new Toyota Tundra, because guess what my husband did? So even though this was 20, 20 and they were the, there were the 2021 models, post COVID, this is the one place that still had some Toyota Tundras, some 2021s, which was the last year that they made the eight cylinder that things were not, uh, EV and, and all of that. And it was not the new body style, which the new body style we weren't as fond of. We liked the older one. So he went and bought a fucking truck. And of course he's telling me they have red ones too. They have three of them. And of course he needed me to go up there to sign off on it because he couldn't trade in his old vehicle without my signature. But that one he managed to purchase on his own without my signature. So. One, I kind of see things kind of gearing up here. It's like everything is suddenly in his name. I saw the writing on the wall, too. And if you think that this isn't a guy who plans for the long game, you are sadly mistaken. In a nutshell, I wound up getting a new truck, too. And, mine was four years old, and even though it was, it was one year from being paid off, this, and I had very low mileage on my truck. Uh, it was going to be the last time that they had these vehicles. So it was kind of, kind of a do or die. It's, it was a want, not a need. And I was kind of pushed into it a little bit. I can't say that I totally regret it, but fast forward one year and in October of 2022, he and I are leaning on the tailgate of his truck, uh, or no, on, on the tailgate of my truck. And as we're having this conversation, I said, the crazy thing is I said, If we hadn't bought these vehicles, I said mine would be paid off right now. That could also mind you, his truck was paid for and his insurance was paid for with a company allowance. I said, now that's a bill that we have to take over. And I said, and if we hadn't bought two new vehicles last year, mine would have been paid off this month, if not before then. And so we could just easily transfer, you know, the payments over and keep the bills the same. He said, I know, I know. He was very apologetic because yet again, his extreme spending had gotten us in trouble. He got another job quickly. And for somebody who deals with money all the time, he is so stupid with money. He thought he was making more money and it was a better situation. And I told him after he had accepted it, I told him, I said, you should have consulted with me first. I said, because I could have told you what was more money and what wasn't. And what you have agreed to is actually in effect, less money. Okay. You have downgraded us financially, again. And I really wish that you had spoken to me before you just assumed that you had everything figured out. I'm the one who handles the finances. I know where the money comes from and I know where it goes. And you didn't consider all of the variables. So, what happened was our family operated at a deficit for over a year. And it was about a 1500 deficit every month. He was, he had opened up a branch locally for, for this new company and it took some time to get going. And of course there was a lot of commission that was due, but there was, the commission only comes after operating expenses are paid and when you're opening something completely new and there's a lot of equipment and shelves and office supplies and everything else to buy. We were just getting to a point. where commissions were about to be made. There was one that he had just made that we should have had the payment of it. And it was over a hundred thousand dollars. And it was the first of three or four sizable commissions like that with that amount of money, it would have paid off the house. The debate was because we'd managed to get my truck paid off. The debate was pay off his truck and then put the rest of the house or pay off the house and then. Pay off the truck. And in what order do we do these? Hmm. You know, and of course, credit card comes first. Nice, nice problem to have, right? Well, that never got to take place. And we'll just have to go into that later. So, whenever I talk about these things about his job situation and I literally write in there, I roll, you know, because it's just, it's stupid. It's how his, his arrogance got us into things. I didn't address in here that I had found an attorney and, or it was one that another attorney recommended to me and it was, she was charging a flat fee. Her legal assistant, her paralegal was, was very nice. And. These people were very communicative and I was very happy about that. They told me what the process were and and all that there was The fee that I had to pay this was this was the first 6, 500 that I paid out and that would take care of everything up to temporary orders So in case you haven't gotten a divorce before in San Patricio County in Texas, the process is very very Number one, whoever files for divorce, they have to attach to the petition for divorce standard orders. So the standard orders are what all the judges in the district have signed off on. I guess I'm saying that right because there's like five, five judges signatures on there, but they're, they're all things that, that they agree upon that If there are children involved, nobody gets, basically there's certain behaviors that, that people are not allowed, the husband and wife are not allowed to engage in, including talking to the minor children about the process or are talking in front of them about the processes. Well, this is needless to say, this was something that was completely ignored on someone's part, not mine. That will come up later. Also, money and bills. You cannot interrupt how things are being paid. Bills still have to be paid. Can't change anything. Can't change the cable. Can't change the internet. Can't change anything. Bills have to be paid. Period. End of story. So those are standard orders. Then you go to court for temporary orders and that's where basically each party agrees upon Okay, for the interim. During this time, until the divorce is settled, this is how we agree things are going to be. So, that's temporary orders, and actually, the very first episode of this, that's where, where you found me. It was the night before we went to court for temporary orders, and I had just had a very not good phone call with my attorney. And I was scared as hell because even though children typically stay with their mama, especially in the state of Texas, you don't take children away from their mom. And my children were old enough to speak for themselves. And he had already begun twisting their minds. He had already been isolating them, especially our daughter. So people who he often routinely referred to as fucking cunts and About whom he said, my life will be so much better when that bitch is dead. His mother, his sister, his oldest daughter. He would suddenly get really friendly with these people and take my daughter out of town for a weekend with them. And guess what was discussed? Mm hmm. A lot of subterfuge, a lot of brainwashing, manipulation. Whatever name you want to put on it. So these are just some of the things that are yet to come. Mm hmm. Oh, suddenly during all of this, we had a cat that decided to start peeing on things, and we had some stuff, we tried some products that got the cat, the smell of cat urine out, well, and my jacket was one of those things, and Turns out that whenever that jacket is laying over your lap and the sun is shining through the window on it, they know that it will still bring that, that ammonia smell out. So, that jacket was, uh, not long for this world. Anyway, um, still not having any dreams lately that I can recall. Angel signs. Oh, and, and, um, So, I know it's exceedingly funny, at least for some, that here I was, happily beginning a divorce. And going to celebrate my friend's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, by the way. Uh, and this is exactly what I mean about ups and downs and all arounds. The things that you don't expect. The way things can be so twisted. It's like a rollercoaster. You never know what to expect. First it's one thing, and then it's another, and then surprise! Something else. This is my journey. Thank you for, for joining me on it. I mentioned a couple of numbers here and I note them down because I am interested in what they have to say, what they mean to me, what their message is. So angel numbers, I, I just Google, but my favorite website is sacred scribes. So I'm just going to kind of run through this. This website goes a little bit more in depth. So I'm just going to run through and kind of gloss over some of this to give the gist and also photos of this will be in the show notes on my Facebook page. Future single lady. So angel number 727 according to the sacred scribes Number 727 is a blend of the attributes of number 7 and the vibrations of number 2 with number 7 appearing twice Amplifying its influences the mystical mystical number is the number of feelings and emotions spiritual awakening and development persistence of purpose and determination discernment and Positive intentions, introspection, and inner wisdom, empathic and psychic abilities. Higher learning and research. Number two is associated with balance, harmony, duality, peace, adaptability, diplomacy, receptivity, and love. Charm, understanding, mediation, and cooperation. Consideration, faith, and trust. Your life purpose, support, and encouragement. Angel number 727 is an indication that positive news will enter your life in the very near future. This may be something you've been waiting to hear for some time. Take this new information to use it to your advantage and for the benefit of others. Angel number 727 is also an important message from the angels to get on with living your personal truth. You are being encouraged to serve your life purpose and soul mission with passion and persistence. There you go. Knowing within that you are on the right path. The angels encourage you to continue your current path. Thank you, I received that. Angel number 727 is a message to continue listening to your inner wisdom and the guidance from the angels regarding the next steps along your spiritual path. Be still. Listen to your higher self and pay attention to the revelations you receive intuitively. Look out for signs, synchronicities, and omens that take the role of your gut feelings or inner knowing. Maintain a positive attitude and outlook and know that you are well blessed by the angelic and spiritual realms. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I receive that. All right, the other, here it is, the other angel number that popped up that morning was 733, and I'll try to gloss over this one. It's a blend of the energies of the number 7 and the vibrations of number 3, with 3 appearing twice, doubling its influences. Number 33 is also a master number, bringing extra vibrations into the mix. Number seven is the number of spiritual awakening and the development understanding of the self and others There goes on this introspection esoteric mystical empathic and psychic abilities persistence of purpose and determination And on number three is related to growth and expansion spontaneity broad mindedness optimism joy and enthusiasm natural talent and skills creativity manifesting your desires Self expression and communication. It's also the number associated with the Ascended Masters. Ascended Masters are like Jesus and Gandhi. Master number 33 represents the healer, compassion, blessings, honesty, discipline, bravery, and courage. This makes the number 733 a powerfully spiritual vibration. I received that. Thank you. It indicates that you're being fully supported, surrounded, and loved by the angels and higher beings of the spiritual realms. It suggests that you have toiled long and hard on your spiritual path and your angels want you to know that you have successfully manifested prosperity and abundance in your life. Amen. I receive that. Thank you. Be open to receiving your well earned rewards and be grateful for your blessings. Amen. Always be grateful. It's a message of love and support and encouragement. Indulge in a hobby or interest. The nat, uh, allow your natural creativity to express the beauty within you, express your truths and all that you do and know that your life path is one of serving and teaching others and living your life as a positive examples for others. Amen. That is why I am here right now. I am living my truth. I am speaking my truth. I am sharing my story. And if I reach even one person. One person and make their life even an inkling better Maybe even inspire them in some way. I have done my job I'd love to reach more I'd love to I would help I would love to help change this world to create a network of Lighthouses that reaches out and shines light from one person to another to another to another and illuminate the darkness So that there is no more darkness I would love that, but if I only reach one person, I'm ecstatic. So, those are angel numbers explained, and Joanne, is it Joanne? From Sacred Scribes. Yes, Joanne. Amazing. I love all of her stuff. I, I click on hers all the time and because, especially because I know that there is not a lot of ads. You don't have to scroll through 15 pages to get one paragraph worth of information like some of the, the other sites do. So that's my deal. Hope you enjoy. I hope you're inspired to, to look for other signs and, and see. I think of, there's a movie with, what's that guy, Matthew, something or other from friends. Excuse me, and he's in that movie, uh, Fool's Rush In is the movie. And, oh, that other famous actress. Anyway, they, they rush in and, so she believes in signs. She's very spiritual and everything, and he doesn't believe in any of that crap. But she says signs are everywhere. And, uh, When it's at the end of the movie, or near the end of the movie, and they are separate, whatever, and he's constantly thinking about her. Then he's opened up, and he is seeing signs everywhere. The little girl named Isabel, which is his wife's name. And pictures of the Grand Canyon, and all of these other things. There are signs everywhere, and he's finally opened to them. So I love that. And I love that these angel numbers affirmed what I was already doing. What I was already feeling. Because, let's face it, we all need some confirmation sometimes that we're on the right track. It's kind of like driving down the highway and seeing, yes, you are still on Route 44, which is great because Route 44 is where you wanted to be. Yeah, that's all it is. And sometimes, the signs will say, hey, guess what, there's a turn coming up. Get ready. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. And I hope you stick around for some more. And I would really love it for us to connect. I would love for you to reach out to me. Email me, futuresinglelady at gmail dot com. Or reach out to me on my Facebook page and you can send me a private message in that way too. I want to know what's going on in your world. I'd like to know how this resonates with you. Have you been triggered yet by anything that I've said? Do you think that I'm just a wasteful, whiny, hiney, complaining bitch? That's okay. I prefer to be approached respectfully. But whatever your opinion is of me, that's okay. I'm not here to please everybody. I used to be a people pleaser. I like it when people are happy, but it is not my job to make people happy. And in this case, I'm not trying to make somebody happy, I'm just telling my story. Because I think it might help somebody. I think it might help somebody figure out that they're not crazy for thinking the things that they think. It might help somebody to know that they're not alone. I will tell you that narcissism is on the rise according to the research that I've done, that it's doubled in the last few decades. So there's a lot more out of it out there to deal with. And I feel like that there may be somebody out there who, maybe they have a friend going through something similar to what I am. And maybe this will help them understand what their friend is going through. And I'm not gonna lie, it would be nice if one of these days my children took the time to hear my side of things. Anyway, this is my story. I hope you stick around for some more, and even better cherry on the cake would be if you reached out to me, because I'd love to hear from you. And when you get a response, it's from me. There's no one else doing this stuff. This is all me. There's no fancy schmancy setup. This is me doing, doing the recording, the editing. The publishing. That's why it's not all perfect and polished. It's real, it's authentic. So, it's me, responding to you. Okay? And you can reach me directly at futuresinglelady at gmail dot com, or you can go to my Facebook page, Future Single Lady, and that's where the show notes are going to be. I will be posting pictures of my journal so you can actually read my writing. And I gotta edit it first, though I gotta take the pictures and I gotta scribble out names because I'm trying to keep this, well I'm talking about the situation, not the individual person. So I'm trying not to name any names. So, if you're afraid that you're gonna be named, just breathe a little easier. And that's my story up to the moment. There's a lot more to come. Believe me, there's a lot more to come. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you look forward to it.
