SUPPORT

Everyone needs some support when going through divorce. The changes that will occur and the decisions you will make can be dreadfully overwhelming. Not seeking support can cause emotional and psychological distress. Talk to your family and friends. Let them know what kind of support you need. They will be there for you as much as they possibly can. Remember these people have families and prior obligations so there will be times when local support groups, therapy, and chatrooms dedicated to divorced women will be beneficial. Also, when going through a transition period such as divorce, attending local singles events or groups can be constructive and open many doors.

Erin Brockovich

                 Just remember, you are not the only woman that has gone through or is currently going through divorce. Many women feel that they can not survive or more forward but you can! Reading inspirational testimonies of women who have experienced the lonely, overwhelmed, and lost feeling of divorce will also help motivate you.

In 2000, Julia Roberts did a incredible job playing the role of Mrs. Erin Brockovich in the drama film, Erin Brockovich, but no one can compare with the real Erin Brockovich. On Wednesday November 17^th, I attended the Erin Brockovich guest lecture in Rudder Tower at Texas A&M University. Brockovich is an exceedingly inspirational and motivating speaker. Brockovich revealed her accomplishments while being a single mother of three living in poverty. However, her values, influences, and life experiences have shaped Brockovich’s view and philosophy of leadership.

Brockovich began the lecture by informing the audience that we all have the ability to turn our darkest nightmares into our brightest futures. She highlights the most powerful tool each individual has is the belief you have in yourself, and not quitting should be the fundamental foundation for everyones life. Brockovich emphasizes that you have to have character, belief in who you are, and strength within to be a great leader. She introduces R.A.M; which means realize, assessment, and motivation. Brockovich states that during the realize phase you need to realize who you are and where you want to go; then you must actually be who you are because this is the greatest discovery of all. During the assessment phase, assess what you believe in and get behind it. Brockovich then discusses the motivation phase. She stresses that you have to have moments of self- renewal and motivation to find success, as well as actually thinking and believing that you can do whatever you put your mind too.
