Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
Well, I am glad we met or whatever you call it on a forum and can encourage one another. BC, Divorce, Empty Nest are big life changing stressors individually and all of them at once is uhm something! I have a therapy appt on the 1st and she said the last time we need to work on things like luggage and do one piece at a time. I have things I can be greatful for too and when you are down it is hard to see the forrest for the trees. Positve Energy like Jessica gave is definately needed, and I want to surround myself with people like her. It doesn't say where you live but if it isn't on the West Coast and it is Midwest than maybe we can meet sometime. I am doing Relay for Life Cancer Walk on August 17th, a Saturday if you are close and would want to come walk with me. Also, I have Skype if you would want to practice with me I could Skype you!! I facetime alot on my Ipad with my Niece she has been a real life saver for me, and I am blessed to have her!! Along with my Sister's and parents. And new friends on this board.
