today is the one year anniversary of the finalization of my divorce.
my ex, jinx, is living happily with her high school sweetheart in seattle.  we had a nice conversation on what would have been our ninth wedding anniversary, a few weeks back.  she’s gotten a promotion at work.  she’s pursuing her interests.  i’m happy for her.

and really glad that she and i have been able to walk away from 8 years of marriage with warm feelings for each other.  seems like a rarity these days.
though it has been a difficult year in many ways, it has been a year about finding out more about who i actually am, what i want to do with this gift of a life, and what i need in a partner.  still figuring it all out, but thanks to perseverance and the support of some of the most wonderful peeps on the planet, i’ve separated quite a bit of wheat from the chaff.  and that feels great. not having hollywood’s version of a divorce to contend with has made a substantial difference in my process.
so, a great big kiss to jinx.  thank you for being in my life.
