You know who you are...

I feel so much EMPATHY for you...

The HAPPIER I am..the more I FEEL FOR YOU...

Just letting you know that I will be leaving tomorrow and will be gone for a few days....

I don't know how helpful it is to know this BUT...

I'm leaving with my dear, sweet, wonderful husband...who really and truly looked and acted almost EXACTLY like your WHs...he was definitely IN LOVE with another woman..he often acted as if he HATED me..resisted my touches..snarled at me..picked fignts with me..practically abandoned his children...

TODAY..he is TOTALLY DIFFERENT..for years now, I've not caught ONE GLIMPSE of the WH..for exactly ONE YEAR he remained FOGGY and now he just gets BETTER AND BETTER and more WONDERFUL AND WONDERFUL....

Of course, a large part of this is the CHANGES that I have made. I am a much, much better person, wife and mother. I am much, much more LOVING towards him, open and honest.

Of course, our life is NOT PERFECT but it certainly FEELS that way in comparison to the DARK, DARK DAYS that we lived for MANY YEARS.

Of course, no one knows how your situations will turn out.

I just want to be a TESTIMONY to how it CAN AND DOES HAPPEN...

Try to STAY STRONG and KEEP THE FAITH IN YOURSELVES AND IN THE LORD..HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU..EVEN IN YOUR DARKEST HOURS...YOU CAN TURN TO HIM AN HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU...

As SIS and NEAK and others know..just open up the book...


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

Mimi,

I could have written your post... especially this:

I think you've been doing a great job sharing and coaching and I appreciate you as a Sister-Warrior for the Light. Have a beautiful safe and romantic trip!

mimi...there are no words...except the totally, completely inadequate THANK YOU. Your faith, dignity, and generosity are such an inspiration.

I do hope you and your DH have a spectacular time away.
