Margie, congratulations to you for being such a survivor, and for venturing in the direction of a more abundant life. My hope for you is that you will “lose your losses” and make room for the many gains that lie ahead. It seems that you have enough miles on you to know a lot about a lotta things that don’t work, and I hope we can all get to the bottom of “why” they don’t.

Pain gives the benefit of knowing that we are (still) alive and that something(s) is/are still wrong and need(s) to be gotten rid of.

You say this wont be easy. That’s a concern ofmine also, but I am also guarding against this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy by not holding too fast to it.. Maybe we can compare notes on this as we go along.

Finally, I want to thank you for getting me to come back here after 73 days of being absent. You see, I made a false start after first joining and then I went idle for 70-some days until your first post came to my email. So if I disappear again, it would be a favor to me if some of you would wake me up and call me back.

Fading fast . . . .
