I stayed on the board for over 2 years or two dispensing help, wisdom, and getting help for myself.
I'm one of the success stories that made it out. My husband and I did make it out of this darkness called MLC;
Many people tried to fit their situations into the time frames that I posted, and I'd tried and tried to remind people that every person was and is different, and the time frames are not the same. Maybe I was wrong for even posting times, when the focus should have been solely on the descriptions. I mean everything takes TIME..and that's what you've got when you don't have anything else for the time being.
People, you must remember to work on yourselves, forget your WAS for the time being; there will be time to get to that later. There's a time and season for everything.
For now you're on a path that's not of your own making; what you do with it is up to YOU!
This is a GROWING time for all of you; giving you the freedom to choose how your life will go from now on. It's also a time of CHANGE; whether you like it or not.
I may not remember it all, anymore, but I still understand how it is.
From where I sit now; I'm GLAD for what I endured; as it made ME a better person, never mind what happened to my husband.
And took a LONG time to get there, let me tell you.
Life has NO guarantees, so make the most of the opportunity that has presented itself. It'a ALL in the attitude, ladies and gentlemen.
Listen to your mentors; pay attention to the advice they give, they KNOW what they are talking about; they are drawing on HARD experience. You will be in their place before you know it, mark my word.
