2016: Year of Confessions and Promises

Confession:  We've missed writing to all of you lovely ladies {and a couple gentlemen!} on our EWG blog as we wrote non-stop on our book and other workee type stuffee the past 10 months.  We hope you missed laughing at, I mean, with us.  

Promise:  We are officially back out of writing book hibernation. {That did not involve any long periods of sleeping sadly - I actually was jealous of bears in caves during the past 10 months.}

See, here at all things Ex-Wives Guide Holiday {Ex-Wife #2} and I {Ex-Wife #1} 
have been really busy.  

Busy as in our book was officially turned in to our agent, then forwarded to publisher, then edits done {mostly}, and our happy little get ready for the launch machine is going to start spittin' out smoke screeching with deeeeelight because it's about to go straight into Over-DRIVE.  Oh Yeahhhhh {pretend the Kool-Aid Man just said that...}.

So here is what you can officially expect from The Ex-Wives in 2016:
- More really fun, introspective, enlightening, sometimes snarky, mostly encouraging FB posts.
- More contests  {that's right ladies...  get out the old lucky rabbits foot from your memory chest and start rubbing!}
- More blog posts - because we know you definitely don't want to make the mistakes we have made.  You are welcome.
- More details about the book we all wish we had when we were going through divorce but can now buy, read, share with women we love and support coming out 8/2016.
- More more more {classes, info, cake - not sure how cake fits in but it just should}

Thank you for hanging in there and hanging out {and bringing quite a few friends!} with us since we started our mission to arm women with advice and information on how to successfully navigate the process of divorce and most importantly...

HOW TO MOVE FORWARD IN A POSITIVE, I ROCK EVEN THOUGH 
I MIGHT NOT WEAR A ROCK ANYMORE, SMILE EVERY DAY KIND OF WAY.

2016 will indeed be a year of CONFESSIONS and PROMISES for The Ex-Wives, and not the kind you have to gulp back crappy wine out of a communal cup to absolve yourself of or hold onto like a unicorn gone wild jumping over a technicolor rainbow of Skittles.  Although that second part would be really cool because I really like Skittles...  

PROMISE #1:  Expect a rockin' blog post tomorrow that will make you look at your HAMMER in a new way.  {hint hint hint buy some nails now}

CONFESSION #1:  An ex-boyfriend's ex-wife recently reached out to me and has reminded me yet again...  Women and single moms need to stick together.  Because even though you shared a "past" - doesn't mean you can't lift each other up for a better "future".  Oh and also meet at some point for a glass of joe or wine{sss} to not only get closure but use your hammer.  {hint hint hint AGAIN go buy nails, like now}
