I didn’t marry my best friend. I married the best, most loyal, loving, caring, supportive, giving, silly, funny, protective, strong, driven, intelligent, spiritual man I have ever met. Someone who has never turned his back on me or judged me or let me down. Through the years and the tears and the growing pains and the sticktoitiveness….He has become my very best friend….and I have never been happier in my life. I am the Queen of My Castle ~ Owner of My Feelings ~ An Eternally Grateful, Ever Progressing~ Work in Progress! ;)
“What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.”- Oprah Winfrey.
When we feel grateful or appreciative of someone or something in our lives, we actually attract more of the things that we appreciate and value ~ enriching our l…ives and our experiences. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: We are made of energy, we attract what we put out into the universe!! Blended families need to work together for the betterment of our own lives and the lives of the children we share! Stop the anger, bitterness and resentments….unless you love wallowing in self pity and loathing and never being able to make progress! Then by all means, stay poopy faced! ;)
Say it with me: If it is to be, it is up to me!!! If I believe it, I can achieve it! Tomorrow is another chance, to be the bigger person! You are the Queen of your Castle, Owner of your Feelings, A Work in Progress! Ever progressing, ever growing, ever learning, ever healing….happily ever after! xoxo Mrs. G
Great letter for anyone considering taking on the challenge of becoming a stepmom!
Perfect can be used to describe a marriage proposal or a wedding day, but not a marriage; especially not the next marriage. That takes hard work, commitment, loyalty, communication, dedication, matching values, set boundaries and the ability to forgive the sins and hurts of past relationships/marriages so as not to drag that junk into the new relationship. My marriage is not perfect~it’s the perfect work in progress. We are committed to working together, as a team to overcome all the hardships and difficulties next marriages are faced with and to set a higher standard than we did in our past relationships. We are committed to each other and to our love and to making it work because we know that no matter how chaotic family blending and next marriages may be….With a true, loving PARTNER, it’s never too late to live happily ever after! ;) xoxo Mrs. G Baby!
Harboring resentments is like drinking poison and hoping the person you are angry with will die.

Our Story~The Next Wives Club~It’s Never Too Late To Live Happily Ever After…
The Next Wives Club, so much more than just a silly tee-shirt company, it’s a movement! It’s about understanding that acceptance is the key. “Unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes”. At TNWC we understand that self esteem isn’t something that can be bought or sold ~ it’s earned through hard work, love & support!
Promising progress, not perfection and offering a judgement free space to laugh, to cry, to vent, to share, to listen, to learn, to ask for advice, to offer advice, to grow and ultimately…to heal.
If you are in a blended family situation and have grown exhausted by allowing outside influences to take up space in your mind RENT FREE, then The Next Wives Club is for you! It’s about turning negative energy into positive results. Taking back your power and refusing to allow any person, place or thing derail your mission to be happy; make peace with where you have been and all that you have overcome to get to where you are. Each day brings new opportunities to make better choices. The only thing in your life that you can control is how you choose to react to situations before you. Choose to live in peace and harmony. Realize that when you use your children to harm a former partner, you are only harming your child’s spirit. Put family first ~ everything else is just static.
The Next Wives Club, promoting harmony and supporting growth for people in blended family situations. It’s never too late to live happily ever after…
