Hello old friend

I put this blog away for quite some time and now I am back.  Every day I am trying to do something positive, do the next right thing and believe in myself.  I am learning what it truly means to care for myself and that it is okay to do that and not something selfish.  Putting the oxygen mask back on before I try to help others.

Friends, I hope you will read this and realize that we are not alone, those who suffer, those who feel crazy, those who feel rejected, those who feel alienated, those who feel manipulated, intimidated, and who feel as though nothing will ever change.  I am living, breathing proof that things can change.  I am finding the most change happens in the darkest deepest most treacherous valley.  For me it is the times in the valley that mold me more than any mountain top experience.

I am thankful for a higher power that loves me, is present, and who lifts me up when I am too weak.  I referred to it as crowd surfing last night...crowd surfing...that just makes me smile.  I was referring to how the supportive people in my life take turns lifting me up and helping me move from one place to another.

Blessings for today.  Love yourself and Live your life choosing to do the next right thing.
