I will never forget THAT day, sitting in my lawyer's office going over the last remaining items in order to finalize my divorce. As she and I sat there, she continued to ask me all the "standard questions." I can still remember everything about that day, that hour, that minute. My heart was in so much pain, but the pain of staying the same was actually greater than the fear of change itself. As she looked at me and asked her last question, I became paralyzed. My lawyer said, "Susan, what would you like your name to be?" I can remember staring at her for a very long time as my mind went in circles as if I were on a fast moving merry-go-round. She continued, "Do you want to keep your last name as it is, or would you like to go back to your maiden name?" As she kept talking, all I could think about was that I went from being someone's daughter at 17 to someone's wife to someone's mother. I had never before been just me. As I looked up at her, tears filled my eyes and I asked, "Can I be Just Susan?" That day I knew that I had just spent a lifetime accepting every label that was ever placed on me and only the love I believed I was worthy of. You see, love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without, and the same masks we know can't live within. Life is about breaking our personal limits and outgrowing ourselves to live our BEST life. It is NOT what the world calls me, but what I choose to call me that matters. Today, I choose not any life, but an abundant life and I know 0ne thing for sure LIFE GOES ON
