WHEN YOU MARRY SOMEONE, YOU HAVE TO MARRY THEM EXACTLY AS THEY ARE. YOU CAN’T MARRY THE IDEA OF THE MAN.

I had learned an important lesson. All that glitters is not gold. No one was going to look out for me but myself. I went back to New Orleans, determined to be stronger. I spent endless hours in my little studio, painting away, and more hours in front of my computer, marketing myself. Everything else in my life began to fade away, and I was blindly focused on my success as an artist. Unsurprisingly, this is not the best recipe for making a marriage work.

I was determined to be the world’s best artist, and I wasn’t feeling as excited about becoming the world’s best wife. All I wanted to do was paint, and get my art out into the world. Deep in my heart, I knew this marriage was over, but I wasn’t ready to give up on love.

In the lifecycle of an entrepreneur, there are ups and downs; there are failures and successes. You don’t give up on your career because of one business failure, and you don’t give up on love because you get into the wrong relationship. You keep pushing forward, no matter what. And I’m lucky I did, because the end of this tunnel was the light of my life—I just didn’t know it yet.

I was determined to be the world’s best artist, and I wasn’t feeling as excited about becoming the world’s best wife.

The following week, when my husband left for work, I went to pick up the U-Haul I’d reserved, returned to the house, packed up my worldly possessions, and went to visit friends in Birmingham, Alabama, just in time for a Josh Rouse concert, and I never looked back.
