From Worthless to Worthy—Sharon’s Rise

What Makes You a Beautiful Disaster?

I’ve been through hell and back, starting at an early age with a dysfunctional family. It got worse—I stayed married for 30 years because he convinced me I was worthless and that no one would love me.

At the age of 63, I finally realized the only one that needs to love me is me.

Thank God I did find a man that loves me for me, even though it’s late in life. Who knows how much longer we have together—he’s older than me (he’s 79), which scares me—but I just take it one day at a time, love myself first, and let them walk.

Why Do You Identify with the Beautiful Disaster Brand?

I bought three shirts on July 3rd and just purchased six more during the Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale because I relate to all of them! I especially love the cut-back one with the cherries, but I also really relate to the “I Don’t Give a F*”** shirt.

Tell Us Your Beautiful Disaster Story:

My strength has been line dancing! And I thank God that I found dancing 15 years ago because it has been my savior—after God.

What Happened for You to Turn It Around?

I prayed to God for my life to turn around in 2000.

During the pandemic, I realized I wasn’t happy. I was taken for granted and not loved. I know God heard me, but it’s always in His time, not ours.

In 2023, I had already known this man for a few years, and finally, when he asked me to take a leap of faith, my heart sank. But I did—and it’s been three great years with him.

I’ve also lost 50 pounds since 2017, despite all my health issues. I’m dancing again, and I love it. It’s my happy place when I’m there.

Name 3 Things You’ve Done to Move Closer to Happiness:

1. I lost weight and started feeling good about myself.

2. I got out of a situation where I was living.

3. I finally loved me—first—and let them walk.

People who bullied or hurt me can’t do that anymore. I just tell them to walk away.
