 <title>Thanks for the Inspiration</title>

 <description>Your story reminded me of how I felt when I was really going through.  You are so beautiful.  Some people wear there stress.  I can say, You don&#039;t .  You look really well and together.  Of course I would hear the same thing from people.  They didn&#039;t know I was going through anything until I told them.  When I did mention it to them. They were shocked.  I found out even when I talked about it.  some people can&#039;t understand the hurts of what you are going through unless they have been there. The thing I hated the most was someone telling me.  Move on.  Do they know what it takes to move on.  I&#039;m still try to learn how.  But I had to talk about it over and over until I was tired of myself viewing it in my mind.  Realizing it is what it is.  Let me learn from this.  Each day is a blessing to me.  Thanks for sharing your story.  I have so many things that took place with this divorce. I know I just need to be with women who can relate to me.  I appreciate hearing from you.  Continue being an inspiration to other women.  </description>

 <title>Life is too short to dwell</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Life is too short to dwell on the past.  Take each day at a time, do something that makes you smile.  You will meet Mr. Right, but first, it&#039;s important that you love yourself and laugh and you will attract the right situation that will suit you.  Look for part 2 and 3 soon.&lt;br /&gt;
Shirley&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;What are you doing now? Is there a part 2 coming to your video. Hope so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m kind of down. Hearing you makes me feel not so alone.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>You have such a fresh look..</title>
 <link>http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/intimate-portraits/fww/beauty-queen-part-1#comment-209</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;... and a wonderful view on life. You can tell that you&#039;re above all the petty stuff. To have risen above all that petty stuff that so many relationships end up going through is so inspiring. I wish we could be like that. My husband and I going through it right now, and we just end up hitting it beneath the belt so many times. anyway... I&#039;ll aim higher because of you :)&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Your video</title>
 <link>http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/intimate-portraits/fww/beauty-queen-part-1#comment-204</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;You still look like a beauty queen.  Your video was so heartfelt.  It made me want to know the whole story.  Did you ever get back together?&lt;br /&gt;
How is your daughter?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&#039;re the kind of woman that we&#039;d all like to sit down with to have a long chat.  You&#039;re great!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Andrea&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Curious How You&#039;re Doing Now?</title>
 <link>http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/intimate-portraits/fww/beauty-queen-part-1#comment-202</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;One way or the other we manage to get through the initial stuff. In my case I was devastated. It still hurts, but I&#039;ve burried it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have two kids. They&#039;re the pride of my life but it wasn&#039;t easy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m curious how are you today? How&#039;s your child? What are you doing?&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe we can chat. You look so poised and successful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debra&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>I love your strength Miss Washington</title>
 <link>http://www.firstwivesworld.com/community/intimate-portraits/fww/beauty-queen-part-1#comment-201</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;First, I want you to know, I&#039;m familiar with Dirty Hearts! I&#039;ve played it... but my heart got broken as well. We married, but never had a baby together. When I got pregnant, he got distant as well. But then I had a miscarriage. I thought we could make it through, but there was something about me having a baby that turned him off. I wish I understood it. Because I really love him... anyway, your story is so inspiring. :)&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Beauty Queen (Part 1)</title>

 <description>Shirley Washington holds six beauty titles and was a Miss Black America. Here, she talks about meeting her first husband, falling in love, getting married and having a baby. The marriage disintegrated shortly after the birth of the baby, shattering her illusions of love.</description>
