I read all these posts, and it brought me to tears. I can feel the love, kindness and sincerity from you all! I needed kind and uplifting words from my sweet friends on this board. I read and re-read, and I will keep trying to forgive, let go of bitterness, and anger. With the love I felt from every ones thoughts and ideas it makes me feel such comfort and accepted for me. Thank you, thank you everyone for continuing to help me work through all these issues I have been having and have had. The gratitude I have is beyond measure and knowing this is to me a safe place even though public I poor out my feelings and you all have been there, done that and are paying it forward to me. I am humbled and with all of your support I can do this. Baby steps become goals.

I have watched this Tedx video called. Forgiveness and reconciliation by Gloria Estephan and it's what I strive and want to pattern my life after. I highly recommend everyone to watch the 20 minute video, and I promise you want regret it!

It's a hump day so going to get ready for work and make it a good one, and I hope all of you have a great day too!
