Thanks, Gem. I appreciate the encouragement. Who knows how long I will live? You could be right. I may not even be half way yet. I'm trying to lose weight which increases my anxiety. It's hard to believe that just changing what you eat could make yo…
I've been there done that. Still have fears. As I get good stuff in me, they disapate. If your family of origin felt bad enough to want to run away, like mine did, then you still have a lot of old critical tapes running around in your head. Talking…
Congratulations on your recent success! I listen to Dave Ramsey's show every day and he says the truly successful people spend about 10,000 hours at their craft to become the best. I consider that quite a challenge for all the things I like to do.…
Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. Scott, it really helps to hear from someone whose been through the same experience and to see how great your life is now and how happy your family looks in your pictures. You gave me hope again, t…
sheri, you said "raising my children. I struggled because I didn't realize I hadn't planned my life well enough to be a single parent until it was too late to change the situation. Also, my kid's dad was working against me whenever he had the opport…
Sheri,
God is not upset with you, He loves you just like you are. And your willingness to want to be closer to Him is all He wants. You are a precious friend to me (((hug)))
One great thing about hugs is that when you give one, you get one back, LOL.
I have trouble seeing myself clearly sometimes. It's hard to accept my flaws and see the good things in myself without worrying about becoming vain and self-centered. I find myself shutting down when I'm around people so I won't be punished for sayi…
Grief knocks the wind out of our sails for awhile. Then after the initial pain, it comes and goes unexpectedly. When my mom passed away, I wish someone had told me to put the money away for about a year, then decide what to do with it. Unfortunately…
I agree that it does seem hard to find honest, compassionate people sometimes. I have a few close friends, but sometimes I still reach out to people who hurt me. I'm getting better at choosing, but still need more practice before I start dating agai…
I would make sure he goes to a doctor for a complete physical and he may need to start medication for depression. You may need to put him in the hospital for awhile as well. Once he is past being suicidal, then you can begin marriage counseling to f…
I am so happy that the people at your church were so warm and welcoming for you. Sounds like you have a beautiful church family again. God bless you all.
It takes a lot of courage to share something so close to your heart. May God bless you and restore your spirit, and give you healing and joy.
It sounds like you don't have much in common with these two friends anymore. I would get out and meet some of the other neighbors, invite some friends over from church, take a class at the library and community center, and get my kids involved in so…
Hi, John,
I apologize but I might sound critical here, but please bear with me and see that I'm trying to help. You say you were caught off guard and your boundaries were nowhere to be found. In my relationships, I realized I was having problems bec…
I'm not sure exactly what you mean about boundaries here. Any time we open up the tender parts of our emotions to another person, we risk getting hurt. In fact, even the best people will let us down sometimes because we are all human beings with str…

Who am I anyway?
I have trouble seeing myself clearly sometimes. It's hard to accept my flaws and see the good things in myself without worrying about becoming vain and self-centered. I find myself shutting down when I'm around people so I won't be punished for saying or doing the wrong thing. But then I don't share the fun parts of myself with the people who might care about me. The people in my life who promised to love and care for me, rejected and criticized me, or worse, and now I'm just scared way too much… Continue

Discoveries
I went to Celebrate Recovery this week and wanted to share what I learned from this, my family issues, my former marriage, my job situation, and my own struggles. There were some things going on there that I didn't understand and that poked me in my hurting places. I think the issues we face in these groups come from the same types of childhood trauma. Some people handle them with drug, alcohol, food because our perceptions of reality are distorted. We have to learn to love and take care of ours… Continue

Dilemma
What do you do when you think you have made a good decision in your life and it turns into a terrible, overwhelming, destructive situation and you don't have the resources to get yourself out? The people you go to for help treat you worse than the place you are in already. They make you feel like you don't deserve anything good.
You finally get out but you have hurt people by getting their help and you try to make it up to them but they never forgive you. You are always a bad person, but you re… Continue

- HI Sheri,
Yes, I do relate. Except my family has been wonderful. My worries are more about where I will be living, if I will be able to keep my mom with me or if she will have to go to a nursing home...and how I will pay for anything. I need to keep my focus on the Lord.
As I was decorating the house, I found the gift I had bought for my husband last year to give to him this year (on sale)...oh that was tough....
Hang in there (((hug)))

- Hi Sheri, sorry I've not been around much lately. Between 2 car accidents, hospital, test, rental cars and just trying to get to work, it's been a real struggle with life.
I'm always happy to see you here. Thanks for brightening my day. You are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for being YOU!

- Isn't it sweet to find a good church? Lot of grandma's and grandpas where I go. Also they are pretty schoolarly which I like. Since that's how I am. Nice to be able to dig down into things with the other ladies. I love it that some of the people have been going to the same church for like 50 years and married just as long or longer. Specially when so may of the relationships dont make it because we buy into "happiness" being the greatest value to have, you know? Selfishness in disguise.

- Heck ya. Glad I can help. I feel the same way since reading Milan's book. All of life really sits on relationships, business, personal ect. And I've noticed from my own life how ganked my life is when I haven't been able or willing to connect well.
