Meet Ollie

Last night I returned home from a wonderful weekend with my bestie Julie (aka Ginger) but I did not come home alone.  As Julie's generosity knows no bounds she gifted me with an incredibly special friend to help me and my kids with the transition into our new lives following the divorce.  His name is Ollivander ("Ollie") and he is a purebread ragdoll cat who is just shy of 4 years old.

We are all so happy to have him home.

Movin' on...


Today we left the "marital house" after two years of living in a place that had stopped being a home.  It feels so good to be in a home once again, even if our home is now an apartment.  But I am once again providing a place where my children will see what it means to be calm, happy, at peace and deeply loved.  A safe place it shall be for us to heal and to just be.... home:
