Queenie,

HAPPY B-DAY!!!!

Listen to Mark, Cinder and the others. My WH also said all of those things before I went through several more false recoveries. My bar was so low that he had to limbo under it. I paid for it later. Don't make the same mistake.

Treat yourself to something special today.

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

Queenie,
Mark is amazing sharing with us all the wisdom that God has given him. When he posts something, I read it, then I go back and READ it. I'm sure you do the same, but I would encourage you to maybe re-read some of the lastest posts he has sent you.

I do not know you, but I can just tell that you are an amazing woman. I have cried, laughed, and truly shared your pain at times. However, I can say today that you are in a much better place today BECAUSE of your obidience to God.

As Mark suggests, STAND BACK, WATCH AND BE AMAZED.


Oh, by the way............

Happy Birthday Goddess!!!

Thank you so very very much, all of you. From the bottom of my heart I am touched and moved beyond words to tell you how special I feel and how eternally grateful I am for your wishes.

This has been one of the best birthdays I have EVER had. It started yesterday with so many co-workers giving me cards and gifts, my very close friend sending flowers to work, then I was taken out to dinner and at services last night a cake was bought for me.

Our services were the absolute best services I have ever attended. We did the reading of the megallah which is the story of Queen Esther. The choir, including me dressed up as Queen Esther, dawning our bathrobes and scarves and jewelry. The rabbi dressed up as raggedy ann and andy while almost everyone came in costume. We learned a whole series of songs to sing in honor of Purim which is a happy holiday, a festival where one is supposed to be merry, sing, dance and get drunk.

We laughed and laughed and it was absolute amazing.

This morning BOTH my son's wished me a happy birthday, and my OS brought me to my friends house but took me to the store to get me a latte. At my friends house, we proceeded to make 700 hamantaschen filled with prune, dates, cherry, raspberry, chocolate, poppy seed, apple and apricot. We laughed, we joked, we talked and we worked so hard. But it was awesome.

Then I got to go fake and bake, got some steaks for dinner and came home and cooked dinner for the boys and me. LOL.... They were happy.

I am one blessed woman, who felt like a completely healed person in a way that I haven't felt before. I enjoyed being with my sister's again, laughing and talking. I felt safe and comfortable and I hadn't for almost two years. I was able to smell the roses and be happy, joyous and free.

The best birthday EVER... Thank you so much for your wishes, love and support.

I'm honored and truly overwhelmed that so many people care about me. At one time I would have been so embarrassed, but today I am just so grateful because the feeling is mutual for each and everyone of those in my life.

I am a child of G-d like you and today I got to be amazed and blessed.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for stopping by. Not ONLY was it a GREAT day, but tonight G-d gave me ONE MORE gift. It's snowing outside. I'm have a white birthday.

pray Thank you G-d, so very much for the gift of something that I treasure so very much. The beauty of snow, the quiet of snow and the warmth of snow when you are fortunate to have a home to live in.

HI queenie-
just wanted to also wish you a HAPPY BIRHTDAY!

your birthday sounded amazing- and you actually are a queen- just like queen esther! i'm jewish too and celebrate purim.

queen esther - the ultimate GODDESS!!didnt she take her life into her own hands!! she is an inspiration to all of us- as to what greatness can come out of great despair- of never giving up hope and of always believing in yourself.

so HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND HAPPY PURIM - dance2
