A Life of Choice: 3 Months On...
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013/10/3-months-on.html
Saturday, October 5, 2013. 3 months after one of the most momentous changes in my life - I'm doing well. Fabulously, fantastically well. There is bliss in the after too. From the gorgeous, dream house I find myself in, to the new and old friends welcoming me, Brisbane has proven to be just right. There are new dreams and opportunities beginning to bloom - and I wonder how I got so incredibly, incredibly lucky. There will be a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning. View ...

A Life of Choice: June 2013
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 8, 2013. I recently came across this article. Which explains the damage that the Biggest Loser and shows like it do, not only to the contestants, but also the absolutely idealistic and unrealistic image it portrays to the wider community. My mother (who is very petite), loves the show much to my bewilderment - I just think it is appalling, and completely unrealistic. She has always been obsessed with her weight, I just think. hmm. Now I am the 'fat girl'? If you want to lose weight, that i...

A Life of Choice: May 2013
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 24, 2013. A Plan for Me, Not We. Now that everything has changed, suddenly, I have to come up with a new life plan - or something I can plan for, hope for. A plan for me, not we. But right now, I have a rough (very rough) 5 year plan. Goals that I can set myself, and hopefully achieve before my 30th birthday. Finish my move to Brisbane, into a share house. Begin looking for nannying positions overseas - Europe, UK, USA, or Canada. If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces,.

A Life of Choice: The Devil in the Details
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-devil-in-details.html
Monday, May 13, 2013. The Devil in the Details. I know I can't take one more step towards you. Cause all that's waiting is regret. And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore? Jar of Hearts, Christina Perri. Letting go has been a complicated, ever twisting, ever moving milestone. Everytime I think that finally, I am on the right track, it just pops up again - as with anything, the devil is in the details. But the devil is in the details. May 14, 2013 at 8:20 AM.

A Life of Choice: Desperate
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013/05/desperate.html
Saturday, May 18, 2013. Lately, I have just been a big ball of anxiety, stress, worry and desperation. I feel that moving out date creeping closer, and I feel so far behind, and out of control. I worry if I am doing the right thing, even though the rational part of me knows that it is a healthy step forward. With the benefit of hindsight, of course, things become clearer. But doubt brings desperation, worry, anxiety. The only one I can control is myself. May 21, 2013 at 1:20 PM. May 21, 2013 at 6:39 PM.

A Life of Choice: Yesterday
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013/07/yesterday.html
Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Yesterday was the last time that I saw my husband, in our home. Yesterday, I laughed, I cried with the man whom has both destroyed me and built me. Yesterday, I mourned all that I had lost. Yesterday, I celebrated all that I had gained. Yesterday, I let go of my marriage and the battle scars that weave themselves through my days and nights beating a rhythm that I do not yet understand. Today, is the day that I move on. Today, I create a future for myself. What will I become?

A Life of Choice: April 2013
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 25, 2013. Good Days, Bad days and In-Between Days. Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. I have been having good days, bad days and in-between days. Days where I am just ready for it all to be over, and days where I wouldn't change my life for the world. Day, the next one will come along. I know that every problem is surmountable, no matter how much I doubt myself. Friday, April 12, 2013. Monday, April 8, 2013.

A Life of Choice: My Story.
http://joschoice.blogspot.com/p/my-story.html
I'm Jo. I have just walked away from a 7 year relationship (4 years married). This blog is my place to help process that huge change in my life. I am a survivor. I have survived childhood sexual abuse. And lived to talk about it. I also live with multiple autoimmune dieases and associated other illnesses. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Arthritis, Sacroiliitis, and most recently, Fibromyalgia. But I survive them as well. My life mantra can be summed up as -.
