I’m Published In The Huffington Post

On April 15, 2013, my very first article for The Huffington Post was published. I hope you will stop by and read it. Share it. Comment on it even!

He told me had been having an affair and it had been going on for nearly two years. After nineteen years of marriage, I knew I had to ditch the cheat. I married him when I was nineteen.

I will not stay quiet any longer just because someone else told their story. I have mine to tell. And I’m going to share it with the world. I will not go quietly into the night. I will not sit in a corner. I am woman…hear me roar.

And while I’m roaring, check out this inspired post by my friend Sandi Tuttle. If her post isn’t a sign that I’m on the right track, I don’t know what is…The Illusion of Perfection.
