Two Years

Today it has been two years since Tyler and I got divorced. The day of my divorce, I remember thinking about if I would ever feel happy again, and I am proud to say that right now, in this moment I am happy and I have been happy for awhile.

Last year the one-year anniversary was a killer for me, whew it was hard. But this year, it snuck right up on me and it has hardly even crossed my mind. Someone took this picture of me the other week and I feel like I look pretty happy in it....so this is my picture of the day.

Horrah for letting go of pain, enjoying life, moving on, staying present, laughing, loving and right now....being in Belize. In this moment, although it is over 100 degrees and I am sweaty and sticky, life is good. I feel like this is such a good testament to the fact that one does heal, life does move on, and even when we are in our deepest despair, we can know that eventually we will experience happiness again.

No...this is not fake....

The other week, I went to this little island off the coast of Belize called Rendezvous Caye. It was this little deserted island and there was no one on it except for our group. It was kind of like one of these places that only exist in dreams or fantasies, but you never really actually get to go there....but yet, I somehow did....

Take a look for yourself - it is stunning. Another reason to love Belize. Speaking of which, I love it here so much that I extended my plane ticket for three more weeks. I was supposed to leave this upcoming Monday, but with all of the work that has to be done, with the fact that Jonny is here, and because of the fact that I love it in Belize....I am staying a little longer before I officially head back to Oaxaca on April 13....
