Hello and Welcome! Come on in! Thank you so much for visiting my site!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying creating it.
I first thought about establishing a website for friends and family who asked the who what how where and WHY did this happen. And for goodness sakes: who what how where and WHY was it taking so long to get divorced!
Then as paper piled up over every email and affidavit during the Anatomy of My Divorce, it just seemed as if it would be more prudent to scan everything onto one site for my attorney.
I figured it would save me copy and mailing fees, if she could just download what she needed, when she needed it. - These links are hidden and pass protected, so you will not find them readily viewable. (If you are in pain and feel the need to know that others have traveled where you are, and that you are not alone, then there are pages you can see titles for but for which you must enter the password 'hidden' in order to read the details. I did find a rainbow!)
Lastly, as I started on the project, I found my work here to be very therapeutic, so I thought that I would include the music and poetry that have been my heart songs as I travel the road to freedom.
The Musical Anatomy of My Divorce is a lyrical journey from the disbelief of Glenn's affair with another woman to the anger, to the release and conscious decision to work on my SELF, and let Glenn be responsible for Glenn.
Then I figured that if you were going to listen to music, you might as well have some reading to go along with it. So I wrote a paragraph or two under the song track expressing why that particular music spoke to me during that time in the Anatomy of My Divorce.
And as for the title - that is just me being me. I thought of titles like Metamorphosis, The Gay Divorcee, and a few others; however really this site reflects the legal and very personal process of dissolving a 14 year relationship and 13 year marriage.
-And I decided to lead with the heading of Glenn Middleton, because after all, this divorce IS all about Glenn. It is his choosing to take us down this path; not mine. So it just seemed fitting to give credit where credit is due.
The Anatomy of my Divorce has brought many blessings my way. I am grateful for each and every one of them.
I am reviewing the Anatomy of My Divorce in the following chronological order: This Home page to introduce you to the Anatomy of My Divorce. Followed by factual, third party truths such as court documents and foreclosure. Then personal but very factual documents surrounding the birth of the Anatomy of My Divorce. Followed by reflections of the seasons of the Anatomy of my Divorce through song, emails, and inspirational stories that occurred during that time which gave me relief and strength amid the calamity of my life at that time.
As part of this dissertation on the Anatomy of My Divorce I include a few pages addressing Glenn's romance with the other person; followed finally followed by poetry as well as reference material for anyone else who may be undergoing similar circumstances; and inspirational music. And alas, I've added a bit of math to balance out the havoc endured during my life's transformation through the Anatomy of My Divorce.
Again - I hope you enjoy browsing the pages, listening to music, reading poetry and viewing my photography. Perhaps I may soon add links here so that my photos can be downloaded for your personal enjoyment.
In the meantime...
Mostly, I hope you will find your time here to be inspirational, as no man is an island; - and troubles freely abound.
CURSOR CONTROL: If you click on the headings, you will be at a home page for that subject heading, which will give a brief overview of that particular section. However, you must hold your cursor over the headings to see the subpages embedded there. The subpages will invite you further down the rabbit hole. Just click on the subpage, and you will be taken to a deeper exploration of the Anatomy of My Divorce.
Be mindful that like all things special in life, this site is best appreciated when one approaches it with stillness, respect and willingness to perceive different points of view.
Thanks again for spending a little time with me here.

AKA: Diary of the Divorce of a Woman Who Loved Too Much
During the Anatomy of My Divorce, I was recommended to read the book "Women Who Love Too Much" by Robin Norwood. - and so I have decided to add quotes and insights from this book at the bottom of pertinent pages.
AKA: Change the Way You See Everything
This was another book I came across during the Anatomy of My Divorce which I kept near at hand to inspire me to explore perspectives on every situation in which I found myself.
AKA: The Wonderful World of a Christ-Centered Life under Duress

Balloon Fiesta 2010
I like the playfulness in this photo below. The balloons are soaring, but if you look closely they are upside down. Kind of like my life at the time. I took this with my blackberry turned upside down, not realizing that the photo would also be so oriented.
