All Aboard At First Wives World

Posted to House Bloggers by WivesWire on Mon, 10/08/2007 - 1:45pm

Things are full steam ahead here at First Wives World! In the coming weeks, you'll begin to see some new faces here on FWW, and a few old ones in new roles.

Beginning this week, you'll see two new faces on the House Blogger team, bringing you their personal stories of divorce. We're very excited to have Alice Brooks coming on board later this week. Alice is just beginning her divorce after ten years of marriage to her high school sweetheart — the only man she ever dated! She'll be bringing her uniquely humorous take on life as a divorcée who has never dated.

Equally exciting is the addition of Karen Morath, who will be bringing some additional "international flavor" to First Wives World. Karen hails from Melbourne, Australia, has been divorced for six years, and will be sharing her story of raising three chidlren — 15, 13, & 10 — on the other side of the world.

Many of you may not have realized that we have international bloggers here on First Wives World, but we do — the lovely and talented Naomi Dunne, another recent addition, is from Ontario, Canada.

You'll also be seeing a change in the news blogging team. Beginning this morning, Donna Carlisle has taken over bringing you your daily dose of celebrity news each day at 11AM. We're very pleased to have Donna on board with us!

Samantha Louis, who has been providing the daily celeb spotlight, will now be applying her trademark spin to fun and funny divorce news on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday each week. And of course, there is the wonderfully talented quartet of Rachel, Amanda, Rianne, and Katherine with all the best news on the wire.

Be On The Lookout!

We are pleased to announce that we have added three new House Bloggers to First Wives World!

Here at FWW, we try to provide support and stories relevant to women in all stages of divorce. Our three "new additions" represent the first two stages of divorce: contemplating and navigating. They'll be sharing their stories of moving towards joining many of our other writers in the final stage, moving beyond.

Over the next two weeks, the ladies will be posting introductions to bring everyone up-to-speed on who they are, and then they'll begin to share their stories. Today we have a brief preview of what is to come:

Randie Thomas is separated from her husband of twenty-one years, and has two children aged 19 & 17. She will be sharing her progress towards divorce, and her struggle with vulvar cancer, including how her husband Dick decided to "start a new life" on the way home from her first surgery. Expect to see Randie start appearing this week.

Taylor Raine is in the middle of her divorce, preparing for mediation. She has two boys, 5 & 6, and will be sharing her struggle to maintain a stable home for them after her husband of nine years turned abusive. You'll see Taylor's story starting next week.

Also premiering next week is Naomi Dunne, who first considered divorce three days after her shotgun wedding. Naomi is the mother of an eight-year-old son who is just like his father, from whom she is separated. You'll be along for the ride as Naomi moves through the process of filing and navigating her divorce.

Please join us in welcoming these amazing women, and keep your eyes peeled as they begin to share their stories here on First Wives World.
