I’m Maggie. I’m a 40 something, single woman, living on my own for the first time. I have worked in the childcare industry for 20 years and currently am the Director of a childcare center. You will read about my staff and my job in my postings because my job has saved me more times in the past 20 years than anything else.

I have been married and divorced and recently ended a long relationship where I was betrayed by the person I cared for the most. 2025 has been a roller coaster of a year and has led me to the deepest sadness and richest fullness of joy have I ever experienced.

Writing is something I have always loved. It is the best way for me to process my thoughts and feelings. I started actively writing right after my heart was broken and my whole world switched up. It was just a long running Google Doc of writing. Some sensical and some not so much. Once my Google Doc had over 40 pages of content of me writing throughout this year, I decided that instead of just sending my writings to my staff each week, I should try to post them in case they could help anyone else going through a transition in their lives.

In my posts, I hope that you read my heart. I hope that you read sincerity. I will protect the names of those I talk about if I am talking about something hurtful. This blog is not intended to demonize anyone I write about. This blog is simply to help others who may be dealing with the same kind of hurt, transition, and/or faith journey that I have been on. Because what I know is that while my situation took me by surprise and shook up my whole world, it is not a unique story, and even though I did not cause the catalyst to my broken heart, it is my responsibility to heal from it. And healing is a messy process.
