Taking time to reflect!
As the Brown family reels from Christine Brown ending her marriage to Kody Brown after 25 years, Meri Brown is doing a little soul searching.
The Sister Wives star took to social media to express that while she was “standing at the sink doing dishes” she was hit with an overwhelming sense of “gratitude” despite the family drama surrounding her.
“Gratitude for family, for friendships, for my work and the people I get to work with almost on the daily, for the positive influence of so many of my friends and mentors,” the 50-year-old reality star declared via Instagram on Thursday, November 18. “Gratitude for this huge life filled with opportunity and fulfillment. Because y'all, I'm feeling it!”
The mother-of-one continued, “There's times when we could all pick apart our lives and focus on the things that are going wrong, the things that didn't turn out how we expected, the this, the that, the other. Because we all have those things. But really, what joy is that bringing us?”
Meri explained “it’s not about ignoring the challenges” in your life, but instead “focusing on the things that are GOOD.”
She ended her statement by saying, “I live a life fulfilled, full of joy, happiness, empowerment, and adventure. All the good things!” adding, “And I'm so grateful!”
The TLC personality is back in Flagstaff, Arizona — where Kody, Robyn and Janelle live — after a cross-country road trip. Her positive words come at a volatile time for the Brown family as Christine packed up and headed north to Utah before pulling the plug on her relationship with Kody.
Meri’s relationship with Kody has also been strained for some time. The duo have been at odds ever since her 2015 catfishing scandal — where she struck up a relationship with an online suitor she believed to be a man, but who turned out to be a woman.
A source recently spilled the reality TV pair — who are married “spiritually” and not “legally” — are only “together for TV,” OK! reported.
Meri “has become very independent” in recent months, the insider continued of the small business owner, who shares 26-year-old daughter Mariah with Kody. “Meri spends a lot of time with her kids and goes wherever they go."
