Hi, I'm Elisa
I am a woman with a story to tell. Many stories in fact. I have good memories from childhood, and I have faced some bad moments. I am a mother and a step-mother. I have been a stay-at-home mom, and a working mom. I have been married, divorced, and am now married again. My husband went through the same, a failed marriage, followed by a marriage to me. I feel as if I have finally found what I had been looking for (yup, sounds corny but it is true). I have had many hills to climb to find myself, and I am still on that journey. Please feel free to come travel with me. I hope to share some of my stories and experiences. Perhaps some of my "wisdom". I plan to share so of my recipes, life hacks, and just share some of me... I am also an Independent Ambit Consultant making my dreams come true. "What's Your Why"? I will be happy to share with you WHY I do what I do!
Daily Struggles:
Currently I have health concerns that cause daily pain and discomfort. My colon has been failing me. It could be due to genetics, it could be partially due to trauma. I have been from doctor to doctor. I have had one surgery after another. I am now making the journey from Western New York to Cleveland, Ohio on a regular basis, as I am a Cleveland Clinic patient. I will touch on my struggles. If anyone is experiencing anything similar, please reach out to me via my "contact" page. Thanks!
I had a hysterectomy when I was 32 years old due to endometriosis. This was a difficult decision, because I would have loved to experience one more pregnancy.
I have hypothyroidism. I am tired A LOT!
Divorced:
I was married for 11 years to my ex-husband. On the day I became his wife I also became a step-mom to Jasmin. She was 4 years old on that day. The marriage wasn't meant to be. My ex-husband and I had two more daughters together. I went through a lot of acceptance leading up to the divorce, understanding what would be best for the children would be us going down separate paths. I continue to be Jasmin's Bonus-Mom, and I love her so!
Re-Married:
August 2016 I married my best friend. Joe and I have known each other for over 20 years, having been part of the same group of friends. We never noticed each other (really noticed each other) until both of us were dealing with the aftermaths of our failed 1st marriages. What a wonderful surprise to see how compatible we were! We fall deeper in-love every day. We are committed to each other. We truly respect each other. I am now the Step-mom of our boy, Joseph. I had always wanted 4-5 Children. God had his own plan to make that happen!
Mother:
I have 4 amazing children. Jasmin, Maya, Joseph, and Lorelei. Jasmin is 5 years older than Maya. Maya, Joseph and Lorelei are each less than 1 year apart in age. So, they are each one grade apart from the other in school. I have always wanted to be a mom. I wanted a full house, with LOVE filling it. I never thought I would be divorced. I never thought I would be a step-mom. God made my dreams come true in his own way. I am blessed to be a Bonus-Mom, a Mom, and a Step-Mom to the WORLD'S BEST KIDS!
Wife:
I am a wife to the most understanding, giving man. He loves me as I am. He supports me, and challenges me. He is my everything. I believe he is God's blessing to me. I am happy to serve beside him as his wife and partner. Joe is everything I could possibly want in a husband.
