I am a 35yr old single mother of one child. At this time in my life I am at a crossroads concerning basically every aspect of my life. I am a positive person but feel like I have gotten a little lost along the way. Everything feels like a question mark to me right now. What is my passion, how do I pursue it? How do I even go about trying to build the life I want, socially, professionally, physically & spiritually? Though we may live in the generation of the information highway, unfortunately the answers I need cannot be answered on the web or in any book. I do have faith that I will find them however, I may have to take baby steps along the way until I find the fulfillment I am looking for.                  

I guess I have a more unconventional past than most. It has definately contributed to the lost state I am currently in. I grew up in a very strict religious (cult-like) family. Because of my refusal to conform, I have long ago been disowned by my family & friends.I had gotten married young, moving from my family home into my marital home. One day a child the next day a wife. After 10yrs of struggle the marriage ended. I had never lived on my own before & I wanted to recreate a good & different life for my daughter and I. I know I've done a good job but it has been difficult mostly because there's been no support from anyone. I am left without guidance, advice & even confidance to really go after what I want in life. Parenting is a tough job for everyone, my past has made it difficult for me, as I have no help or assistance from family. I choose to raise my daughter completely differently than I was, & all we can do as parents is do our best & cross our fingers that we're doing it right. My upbringing has had an an isolating effect on me, I am still trying to figure out where I exactly belong.

I have a very positive outlook in regards to my future. I have worked hard to overcome a lot of obsticles in my life, and have let go of negative feelings. Now I'm at the stage of taking everything I have learned from my past, and using it positively to propel me to take action in creating a better life. I have a deep sense that I have a lot to offer, and right now I am questioning what direction I want to channel it. My hope for the future is very simple, my own happy little family unit, working at something I am passionate about. A network of friends that are like-minded, and as much adventure as I can get along the way.
