I am divorcing my husband of five years. My marriage was wonderful in so many ways. For me, divorce meant failure. I have not failed and neither did my relationship. A once life-giving relationship has come to a respectful end. This part of my journey has redefined divorce. Divorce now means a closing, ending and a death of sorts.
A relationship, my relationship has concluded presenting the opportunity for transformation and exploration - new life, rebirth, space and freedom. This divorce... my divorce is a release of all that has held me back. I let go of limiting beliefs and emotional baggage, giving myself the independence and freedom to explore, to be and to do.
In life, we experience an ebb and flow - life, death and rebirth. I have mourned this loss, the death of my marriage. I choose to honor the present moment. I am embracing the beauty that surrounds me everyday and exploring new depths of love and friendship. I flow with the current of life... surf the waves of joy and endure those of sorrow. I am Always a Yogi and will continue to play with the balance in my life.
With my divorce, I take back my name - Lynn Marie Cunningham, initials LMC. (There is no coincidence that my name has "ham" in it.) When I share I am in the midst of a divorce, it is inevitable the first thing said is, "I'm sorry". This is said even after I share my joy with my current situation. I am grateful for the undying support of my friends, family and teachers, but when we talk next, don't apologize for my going through a divorce. Feel free to acknowledge my situation; but please remember apologies not needed. I am well and enjoying the journey of life.
