Oh my goodness! Something told me to check my thread....and there you were. You know....I feel like I've missed out so much lately, and I have to go back and read up on the threads, and just as I think it's time to haul it in.....I come and read this....this beautiful gift you gave me right out of your heart.

You will never know what your post has meant to me. I love your new name! Just love it! Finding your voice....and "your" voice is every bit as important than anyone else's. I believe that we influence another person (maybe more) in our lifetime. So....maybe I was not able to help my sister the way I would love to do, but if you were able to take a positive look at your own personal worth....then that alone has made my life worth living! I mean that sincerly.

So, with that said, let me add this; there is at least one other person that you will inspire, uplift, maybe even change their life. I believe there will be more than one. You are on your way, sweetheart!

Don't hold back from saying the things that are in your heart to your H. You made me laugh and you sounded so much like me when you were wanting your H to tell you how important you were to him...and then realized you had never told him. I'm so much that way! By his own reaction to what you said, you know that was food for his soul.

I think our H's (mine and yours)just do not realize the things we want to hear. They may not know how to word the things they want to say. But I believe the feelings are there. And I think we women expect them to "just know" what we want... crazy But we are too complex for them, right? So we have to tell them what we want.

I just think you have started a brand new chapter in your life and you are going to find life so much brighter. You are speaking up and what you say is very valuable!

Thank you so much for this wonderful news about you, and thank you for the encouragement. ((PG))

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
