Antonia - you do rock! Isn't it interesting when we get to the point of truly doing things for us, and not as any kind of reaction to our former spouse.

By loving ourselves we are set free, because real self love enables us to reach out and help others.

You will have down days, but you now know you will bounce back to an even better place, up and up. Even now I am still going through emotions that I had carefully put in a place of no pain. Growing up, if you like, becoming someone I like and respect.

Your reaching out has given me pause once more, to remember to go on doing it, for ouselves, and for others.
