In honor of her iconic line - Didn't get mad, get everything - I invite you to spend some money at Bettie's to spite every shitty dude who's tried to use finances to force women to accept bad decisions.

If you haven't seen it, or it's been a while I suggest you go put it on! Not only is it still hilarious, It has one of my all time favorite cameos.... Ivana Trump.

I have so much more to give personally and professionally, I have to stay focused on that. Because the alternative isn't pretty.

This week I've been thinking about one of my favorite movies: The First Wives Club.

Yeah, things suck right now. Life definitely did not go as planned. While the divorce wasn't my choice, I get to choose my future and I choose happiness.

Nothing can be gained from fighting with a brick wall and the best I can do is to keep focused on the future and building the life I deserve

I'll survive, because I have no other option. It remains to be seen how bruised & bloody I will be.

I utilize tarot to help my ADHD brain focus my thoughts. Today I used the very adorable Houswives Tarot to focus on all of this. (It felt appropriate in a twisted way)

What did I come up with?

Not only personally, but the store has a week of big bills, debt payments, payroll, taxes

I want this done, I've wanted this done for months, I want to move on with my life. I won't be bullied into accepting less than I deserve.

We have a mediation meeting later this month after an unwillingness to work on an equitable settlement. And he is using finances to try and force me to accept a bad deal.

I have literally no idea how I can rob Peter to pay Paul when Peter is tapped out too.

I find folks I trust, order a bunch of books, and we all take a stab at reading to make sure they're A. Good B. Well written C. Not any glaring problematic elements. And this is how we ended up with a delightful stack of smut in the breakroom for me and my staff to read!

So many good choices and you didn't even get to peruse the stack I made for you 😂

Excellent choice of short and proud of you for being the better person. Isn't it annoying being morally superior?
