The parents exploring the Narrows in Mt. Zion Park

I’m so happy to have you visit our ‘New Sense of Family (NSF)’ site. I want to share with you a little about myself and the reason for my blog.

I am a mother of one amazing daughter, who is truly the inspiration for sharing my story with you. Mine is a life journey of love that has encompassed marriage, children, divorce and transcendence. This might sound like a very normal life ~ and it is … except for the unique and loving relationships that we created from our painful experiences.

Divorce colors and changes who we are as human beings, and that includes our beloved children. It is not just an event but a process that requires working through over time. Having traversed the calamities of divorce, we have transformed our lives into a blended family that is bound by a promise to love our children and to make them the center of all our decisions. In doing so, a miraculous transcendence happened for us. Relationships of a new kind of love formed between parents, step-parents, and children. We have become a joyfully divorced family where friends and strangers comment on how unique and special our bond is. They ask us frequently how we do it. We truly thrive and consider ourselves blessed.

So, my blog is my wish to be of service to others ~ to share our story of redemptive love and to give others a sense of hope, comfort, and possibly inspiration.
