so hi there. i guess it's about time i said a big howdy doo to ya'll. Sorry I've been so out of touch. In this blog I'm afraid i will disappoint many, make some very sad and possibly anger some (those people can please go quietly out the back door: ) I've struggled with when and how much information is appropriate to give out , you that have been so supportive of me and my music. I'm just gonna write, probably melt into tears a few times and be done with it. My family has gone through a massive upheaval in the last year. My marriage of 11 years has ended. Now I'm crying. I was so proud to carry that badge of a ten year marriage around like it defined me, it was me, and I do to this day adore Mark. He is my best friend still. We are both still a little at a loss for answers but are doing well as time is beginning to heal the hurt places. For those of you in new marriages or marriages that are time and stress tested and still happy, I say never stop working on it. Cliche, certainly, but so incredibly true. We marched steadily ahead while ignoring the problems rushing in the back door. We never went into those dark rooms until the ship had sunk for lack of a better analogy. God is beside us in this time. There is something holy, i believe, in the way we are able to exist as a functioning family for our son. Mark is an amazing parent and is with Henry and I every evening for dinner and mornings before school. There are no suitcases packed, he's secure that he's got one home and that his mom and dad love him to pieces. There is nothing in the world I wanted less than to lose the safety of what I thought we had. But we are both finding small miracles that are happening in our lives of desparately needed change. Maybe this is far too much information and I am suffering diarrhea of the mouth as usual, but I am what I am for today. I really didn't want to disappoint anyone, I'm sorry I have fallen. But there is beauty in brokeness and I may have set the record for brokeness, so If that's true we may all come out like shiny new pennies. If you've done something you worry is too much that you'll never recover from or can't be forgiven for please look up and cry some tears, be vulnerable, ask to be healed and be free. Afterall, we're all Saints and Sinners.

A beautiful new day to you and yours,


Leigh with the Temporarily Broken Wings

Leigh,

First off, it was incredibly brave of you to share this information. You humble us with your openness.

If there is anyone who does criticize you for what you've shared, know that there will be a multitude supporting you and offering edifying prayers for you and your family. These are the ones who matter.

I also agree here. I'm sorry that you're sad, but if you think it will be best in the long-term, then I will support you. I hope Henry is ok with this as well and am glad you are thinking that he'll still get to see his dad some.

I can only imagine how much harder it is to suffer this "private" and agonizing loss with a public face.

I am certain most of your fans will feel sorrow for your loss and no "disappointment" in you as a person.

I pray the grace and peace of the one who holds all of our fragmented times.

Sorry to here this. I know it must be tough. But it sounds like you two have a good understanding, and will do what best for your child. Divorces unfortunately happen all the time, and will hard work and dedication, a child can grow up the right way and not bear the pains of the divorce. I pray for you both. And its ok to cry. Hang in there.

I'm praying that by making this decision, your family will eventually find a place of happiness. God bless you and your courage. God bless Henry.

I guess what I'm saying is that you are wrapped in the power of girlfriend prayer.

a bit odd to say this, as i don't even know you, but i somehow find myself crying as well.

i'm so sorry, leigh.

but it's not a hopeless kinda sorry, because i do believe in a God who loves us through our pain. that there's a tremendous, mysterious power in praying to Him in our darkest moments.

so that's where i find myself, praying for you, for mark and henry. praying against anyone who would be angry or disappointed by what you've just written. that their computers would freeze before they could write, that their judgment might be turned quickly to compassion.

i'm also thanking God for your optimism through this. thanking God for your honesty, and your vulnerability, reminded of what drew me in to sixpence none the richer a long, long time ago-- when i was a kid who desperately needed to hear someone else crying out their flaws and fears.

chin up, my friend. you and yours are much loved and admired.

It often doesn't make sense, but I have to tell you that as unbelievable as it may seem... the day my parents finally divorced became a shocking blessing and wake up call to me as at that time a legalistic believer. My parents stayed together all the way until I was 22 and I watched that volcano just build and build and build over the years and erode away their joy until the day it all came pooring out. It all happened when I was leaving the nest for Nashville and so my mom had a frightening breakdown due to losing the only two people in her life and my dad and I were forced to confront the giant chasm that had grown between us. So much more to that journey but the point being that the complications of this life don't always make sense and fit into easy Sunday School boxes. It has taken many tears for me to realize this.

Noone has ANY right to judge you, be disappointed in you, be angered by you and your husband ending your marriage.

What you write of is raw humanity and frailty... the thing that connects us all when we get beyond facades and fakery.

There is so much beauty in being broken as you write. Your wings will heal.

Leigh, your voice and your music in Sixpence along with that of your husband's band breathed that humanity so perfectly and inspired me in my darkest times of youth and young adulthood.

You are loved by many. You are loved by this saint and sinner.

I know life will picks up the brittle pieces and begin coloring beautiful things in and around you and Mark and your son.

blessings,
jer

Leigh,

First off... (((HUGZ))).

You are incredibly brave, opening up the way you have, to friends, family, and complete strangers, on so public a forum as this. In equal measure, you and Mark are both intelligent, and strong for recognizing the fracture, yet maintaining support for your son... faaaaar too often the children become pawns... mistreated, neglected, and torn by the animousity, and exploding anger of the divorcing parents.

If anyone has anything other than support, for all three of you, they should keep their critical opinions to themselves, and look in the mirror. We all have issues. We all do things that may be perceived as less than acceptable, from time to time. As far I know... there isn't a person alive, and walking the planet, who is perfectiion incarnate, presently.

You and Mark, seem to be doing the best that you can. Keep being strong. Keep being loving parents. Keep being civil and friendly to each other. That is all that can be asked for, and expected.

Things happen for reasons. Hopefully, "the best is yet to come".

(((HUGZ)))

How can anyone negatively judge you or blaming you for such a brave decision? It takes strength, integrity and bravery to ackowledge that whatever situation you and Mark were in , was not fully honouring you as human beings anymore and you have decided to find a new way forward in your life. This is brave and it is to be commended. wishin you all the best

I'm sorry you have to go through this. Never mind the world, its not their walk. The ability to smile with blood-stained teeth is a rare one, it can also make all the difference in the world, wear it proudly.

From a man who has bleed severly for over half his life, take it from me, its worth it. The road to Holiness is quickest traveled on a road of suffering and difficulty I'm afraid. Never loose that smile.

I know I am just a stranger on the other end of a cable wire, but know I still honestly care.

Ironicly, I find myself compelled to write a lyric you once sang that helped me for many of years, and many others to, "Sometimes a shadow, dark and cold, lays like a mist across the Road, but be encourage by the site, where there's a shadow, there's a light."

It is indeed so easy to be shocked and rush to judge you. But instead I'll remember all the awful things I've been through---we're none of us perfect. I really hope that all of this works out for good and for God's glory. I really hope for what is best for your son, as I'm sure he is the person you worry about the most. I wish a beautiful new day to you and yours as well....

Leigh- My prayers are with you. We are all Saints and Sinners, that is so true. I admire you for being so brave and open. You are amazing. None of us are perfect, we are human. Life can be so hard, and being Christians does not mean that we are free from hard times and pain. It means that we have Someone who we can turn to, who will love us and forgive us. Even when people judge us, God is there holding out His arms to us.

I am praying for you :)

So many have expressed so well already what I would want to say that I hesitated to write anything.

There is something in the phrase, "The truth shall set you free." I am proud of you Leigh, and know that your soul is beautiful, and that life is about learning. And also, it is about giving love. I bet, you are able to give love even better, now that you have learned how to give it better, due to loss. Your soul existed before you were here on this earth. Your soul has infinite wisdom, you are now tapping into it, and finding your real purpose in life. You are blessed! I have all the faith in you.
:-)
Hugs! Your pal,

Would it make you feel better to know that most of us have experienced "Let It Go" at some point in our lives? I truly doubt you will be criticized by anyone here. You have always been so open and honest and accessible to your fans and that is both unique and endearing.
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." Can't take credit for this quote, but I really do believe it! You sound like you are incredible parents to your son and I'm sure God will look after you all. Please keep healing and creating and finding the small miracles. I wish you many beautiful new days!

Leigh,

I so painfully know what you're going through, and I'm telling you that there is hope, but you and Mark both have to want it. I know that you do, but I can't gauge your husband's intentions.

Let me just say that my wife and I have been married now for 28 and-a-half years, we have two grown children, but ten years ago our marriage was a shambles and our kids were devastated.

I did some very stupid and selfish things, but God was faithful in giving me a second chance. My wife battled the forces that sought to end our marriage. She was my strength at a time when I WANTED to give up. She forgave me and after awhile, I was able to forgive myself. What we went through was more than most people would ever be willing to deal with, but that's in no way a cause for me to take any pride in "toughing it out." Instead it is cause for awe and wonder at the power of the great God we serve.

Don't allow "Churchianity" to make you feel as though you're a failure or less of a person, even less of a Christian because this is happening to you. That's the stuff of men, not of The Man. You're human, you're NOT perfect, but you CAN overcome this.

Please don't give up on your marriage. Please do get whatever counseling you can that will allow both you and Mark to air whatever differences or reasons are causing this painful season in your life right now.

My wife and I are now the happiest we've ever been. We're both better people for the experience we went through; I know that you can be too. It's not magic; it's hard, hard work to change the way you perceive someone, and even harder to change your own self-perception, and that's something you will BOTH have to do to overcome this.

But you CAN do it. Henry needs you to do it. YOU need you to do it.

Don't give up. Love is faithful, and our God is faithful.

We all love you very much. Take care.

Dear Leigh,
You are so brave to say these words to us, and I am so moved that you chose to share with people that care for you and have been so blessed by your words, music, and generosity. I believe you broadcast your situation, over and over, in the lyrics of the songs in “Blue on Blue” and those who have ears to hear, perhaps, realized this was coming. You have not disappointed anyone. You maybe fell down from a high place, and you need to heal, but you are certainly not “fallen.” Thank you for being you. You don’t need our forgiveness, and God already forgives us all things, yet we weep with you. But, know that “. . . weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalms 30:5).

Oh Leigh.... I'm so very sorry you have to experience the pain, sadness and loss of divorce. Please never apologize for "fallen." It is not your fault but rather a natural process that happens in life. Just know as a fan, I am here to support you in any way. I will always love your music and angelic voice. Hold Henry dear to you. He will sustain you through this, I know. I went through a divorce when my precious daughter was only 6 months old. She gave me a reason to go on with my life...... : )
