  • I want to be there to support my husband just as he has supported me through my work

    I want to be there to support my husband just as he has supported me through my work

    Keywords: army life , crafts diy projects , it is what it is , job related , army , army wife , crafts , splatter paint , team builders

    Needless to say, getting used to being the “dutiful” wife has been an adjustment. And maybe I am having a harder time with it because I still have yet to move into the world of an army base where this is just every day life. I am sure that I will be so grateful and relieved when I actually do move for this support network to be in place. And what I am saying may sound like I am unhappy with this group, which is not the case. I do appreciate being kept in the loop since Tom’s world is about to be turned upside down. And these women know the best way to be of support not only to our partners but also to each other. I am just not used to my husband defining who I am, and this is a huge adjustment for me to make. I mean my life’s work is all about respecting everyone’s individuality and being your own person. So when I hear these messages from the Army like “Oh your wife could move here with you to work at the pool” you can see how there could be some frustration and some “You don’t know me!” attitude going through my head.

    Now it is time to share my life and to enjoy the beauty that is romantic partnership

    Keywords: {0}

    We don’t have the answers and we never will, but we will be okay. We have to be comfortable living in the questions because there are some questions that will never be answered. I may never reach my dream, and that makes me sad. But does that mean my life doesn’t have meaning or purpose? Of course not. We make meaning and purpose with every interaction we have with others and with our art, our poetry, our music, and our contributions to society…even through our mundane jobs and our relationships. Our purpose is whatever we make it. Our legacy is in every single way we relate to the world…through relationships with people, through conservation, through our perspectives both experienced and shared. I think I am ready to stop trying so hard to make an impact and, rather, start living, traveling, interacting, loving, and just being. I’ll never not be an intellectual; it’s who I am. I will never stop contemplating the big questions or trying to problem-solve the big issues we face, but I don’t need to constantly produce something. It is enough just to exist…to breathe…to be grateful…and to rest.

  • I really miss having a partner

    I really miss having a partner

    Keywords: Life

    I am really tired of just being “alone” …I really value my alone time, but I want a partner. I have been doing everything by myself…taking my bike to places to ride it alone…. going to cultural and community “events” alone …volunteering alone… taking classes to learn new things alone… People do things with friends, family or partners – I do them alone.

    Someone who wouldn’t mind me pouring my heart and hours, drawing, learning and reading. Someone who wouldn’t be annoyed by my noisy and random choice of music.

    I’ve wanted to help for years now

    Keywords: about , me

    Help those struggling and suffering to know that they aren’t alone. Help partners hope, find support, grow, laugh, and enjoy. Most of all, I want to, from one Defence partner to another, share ‘how’ to thrive and emerge stronger during change, challenges and #defencelife. Because thriving should be the goal, not surviving. Yet far too many of us are just surviving. And that shouldn’t be the post!

  • I want that same thing — reciprocation

    I want that same thing — reciprocation

    Keywords: blacklove , couples , love , lovelanguage , reciprocation

    While reciprocating in your relationship isn’t hard, it can be easy to overlook because one person may be heavy on the giving end while others are just used to receiving. Sometimes the giver may not know that they are the primary source of what they give out until lack is realized, and you now begin to see what is needed from your partner.
