    If you take the time to read through these pages of my healing journey, you will see the hills and valleys. Those highs and lows continue to take me toward my ultimate goal: one of peace within, one of compassion for others who have been through their own hills and valleys and one of opportunity for all (also known as reform). I strive, at this time, to find that inner peace. Join me as I fail miserably each day but find faith and hope enough to wake the next morning and try again.



I Think I Have More to Say On This One

But for right now, read this little “article” by a member of Bethany’s “Advisory Board.” (Gee, and you all wonder why that particular agency has issues when people with thought processes like this are sitting on an “advisory board.” Eesh.) Yes, my response is the one by “NormalEverydayMom.” I want to expand some more on it. But I need to go make sure I’m not endangering my parented child(ren) by simply existing… even though I’m a heroine. My brain hurts.




Well, Now My Face Is Covered in Snot

Suz and Barb both posted this video. I waited to watch it until just a few moments ago… after dinner… after an emotional day as it was… but I don’t suppose it would have been an easy thing to watch this morning either. I want to share this with so many people. I want so many people to watch this and understand. I’ll be sending it to my Husband to watch later. He understands me but I want him to know… this isn’t just my reaction.

Anyway. Watch it. And pass it on.
