101 Ways to Move Forward After a Midlife Divorce

Tip # 21. Get a “power cup.” My mom gave my daughter her own special “power cup” when she was in her early twenties. It is a beautiful, gold-rimmed china cup with a tiger on it. My mom told my daughter that when she felt tense or unsure of herself or discouraged to pour herself a cup of really good coffee in that cup and realize what a powerful young woman she is. We all need things to remind us that we are beautiful, worthy, bright, capable women. And we need to be reminded of that especially during a midlife divorce recovery journey when on some days I felt like the biggest failure in the universe. Find your own power cup or order one of the R.A.D.I.C.A.L. cups on the www.midlifedivorcerecovery.com site. (Popular Products). My mom’s power cup idea was behind those cups. I wanted women going through divorce to realize that they are truly R.A.D.I.C.A.L. in the very best sense of what that word stands for. I’m drinking coffee from my R.A.D.I.C.A.L. cup as I’m working this morning, and it emboldens and empowers me with every sip of delicious coffee.
