You are doing the right thing in cleaning the slate and starting over. Facing your past will clear the way for your future. Good for you.
Keep working on your book as it might take your mind off things a bit. You can do it.
I know you weren't up for the other topic when it was offered, but you might want to reconsider at some time. You could offer great perspective. It could be part of your healing as well.
I got your message on Yahoo and have been swamped. I didn't forget, just haven't done anything.
Hang in there. I'll pray for you too.
