divorce-cakes

So, I am a divorce lawyer.....that is my chosen profession. Before you simply stop reading out of disgust, please know that I love what I do.

My parents were divorced while I was in college. It was a life-rocking event, fraught with many emotions, most being hyper-charged. At the time, I only knew one other kid that I had grown up with whose parents had divorced. It was taboo. It was forboden. It was just wrong.

But, my family has survived that trauma. Yes, there are some lasting scars that will always remain raw, but our family has overall turned out for the better.

I think it is because of this life-shaking time occurring simultaneous with the time in which I was blossoming as an individual is why I love what I do. I love being a divorce lawyer.

The issues come very simply to me. I am passionate about my clients and their families. Yes, sometimes I am more of a social worker than a profound legal machine, but that's part of the glory. I am simply a person helping another person get through a difficult period of their life.

I have been a divorce lawyer for over seven years. I love it. Sure, there are days that I hate it. But, I wouldn't chose any other area of the law in which to practice.

So, when I saw this post this morning, I knew I needed to share it. Let the divorce be a merry occasion - I love finding occasions to celebrate! And the width of my hips demonstrate that I am the first to celebrate with cake! As "she" famously said - "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!"
