IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW....
,

I was single and 33 years old when I started blogging on Diaryland in 2003. At that time I liked being single, vowed never to get married and swore I did not want children. I wrote openly about my pattern of getting involved with older, married men and gave details of our "encounters".

This chapter in my life seems so far away now. My life has changed in so many ways.

It made sense that I gravitated toward older, married men because I was in so many ways looking for a father in these men. My father had also been emotionally unavailable to me. Was I doomed to repeat the past over and over again?

This became my modus operandi for years until I met my husband. A dashing, young, GREEK man who challenges me constantly and who has taught me a great deal about myself.

Well, who would have known I would fall in love, move in with him, get married and have a baby. It was the last thing I THOUGHT I wanted or needed. As it turns out motherhood and marriage are two of my greatest accomplishments, and I can no longer imagine my life any other way.

Naturally when I moved in with my husband I would have to make the conscious decision to leave my past behind. (Including two cats and a dog that I loved DEARLY.)

I chose the name Rose Phoenix for this blog because the phoenix is a bird mythically known to represent rebirth after death, that originated in GREECE of all places.

I felt like my life was really just beginning when I started this blog, while another life had just ended. And what a new beginning it has been.

For all of you who have stayed with me through the years...thank you. And to those of you who are just joining me....welcome.
