This is a start...

W just came to me and told me that she recently broke POJA with some independent behavior. She was deathly afraid to tell me this but she did come to me on her own.

What she had to say really wasn't bad at all. Yes I am bummed that she broke POJA and knew at the time she was breaking POJA, but I am REALLY happy that she came to me on her own to tell me about it! So I thanked her for coming to me about this and then we spoke about her reasoning for breaking POJA. After a few minutes (2-3) of discussion we hugged and kissed.

She is now trying to get her heart beating right again.

We are slow learners, but we do learn. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

SDFR -

I think it's Ebert & Roper??

And yes - A little nerve racking coming forth with the truth - I know it's better though, and H responded VERY NICELY!!!

Ok you two.

Hand up, back away from each other, AND BEHAVE yourselves. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Congratulations. Now the next thing to discuss is why the POJA was broken and does this mean that the original POJA needs to be amended with the new data??

You see the next part of this is to readdress the POJA and see if it needs to be reconsidered.

IM, good for you. STTSI, you have "done good" as well. Keep up the good work. This stuff really takes practice. You should read Cerri's post of her and her H trying to do POJA in a supermarket as a practice run. It will have you on the floor.

God Bless,

JL

Ok - so here's something good...

We are still learning, but H and I talked about some things tonight, even negotiated on some things. Again, I was aprehensive to talk - but in the end, I am glad that I did.

It turned out much better than I had expected it to!!!

So, YEA FOR H & I <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Sttsi: {Hugs and Kisses to you!}
