I’ve been horrible over the last few years with social media and technology. Since I’m a proponent of change, I want my loved ones to know who I am now. That I’m better. So…I made a phone call to a friend. For an hour and a half. I hadn’t talked to her like this since my youngest daughter was in the hospital before she died. I needed to tell her that she wasn’t just important to me during times of trauma. She’s important always.

I’m still feeling this new world out that I’m curating. After I got off the phone, (aside from needing a bathroom break) I felt good. Verbal conversations with those we love and are not geographically close to is important. I used to put off phone calls. I dreaded them. In the following weeks, I hope I can make more.

I was also surprised to receive a suggestion from one of my blog followers. Mentioning an exercise option. That was awesome. Thank you, Caysunset. I enjoy feedback and will respond if you have a comment or question for me. I don’t often get emails that aren’t garbage. So this was a treat!

I’m a survivor of multiple rapes, abuses by my eldest daughter and ex’s. I’ve lost loved ones that left this moral coil far too soon. I’ve lost a home by means of fire. My youngest daughter died. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ptsd, and even almost died myself. Even after getting off of SSDI, I see a light at the end of this pervasive terrible. I just hope anyone that’s reading can see… It’s not impossible. It took over thirty years, but that was my journey. Yours doesn’t have to be the same. We are all beautiful. We all have a story. Forgive yourself and others. The time is now.

Love and blessings to you all
Janet
