I am 40 years old and just coming into myself.
I am and have been happily married for 14
years. My husband and I have a wonderful relationship,
he is my best friend. We have known each other
for 27 years and have been together for 17
years. We have our own networking business
(products & services). I have 3 children.
My oldest daughter is 25 and is more than
self sufficient.
One side of me is extremely
outgoing and very flirty; sure of myself and
always willing to do for others. The other
side of me is vulnerable & naïve
to the point where I thought people actually
wanted to be friends with me. In actuality,
the relationship was purely about what I could
do for them. There was a shut down shortly
after this realization. I would only respond
or interact with my family and very few outsiders.
I would only do activities that involved my
children. I was always interested in doing
for others because I believe that is what
GOD had intended for my life’s path, therefore
I was truly ecstatic to be invited to attend
a Black Butterflies Information Session but
wasn’t exactly sure what I was in store for.
I met all of the women that I would soon take
this journey with and it was cool. For a little
while, I felt very much intimidated by these
same women, almost like I wouldn’t fit in.
I sat for a long time just listening and observing
because at that point, I wasn’t sure if this
was what I was looking for however I have
learned that there are truly genuine people
in the world and they are willing to give
of themselves as I do. At last the shell is
cracked but there is still a protective coating.
