Pam, though you feel a mess to you, your straight talk and honesty is nothing but powerful and amazing to me. It seems to me that power comes in so many forms. I always think of you as one of ou warrior iron maidens. I find your willingness to say it like it is to be not only powerful, but so very much a gift to all of us. You have my prayers for better days with joy ahead. ma
