Hi Sharon. Thanks for writing. I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to write back to thank folks. I've been pretty busy, but I think I was also weirdly bruised by the lack of response from what I see as a pretty responsive group. So, I did my usual, there must be something wrong with me, little beat myself up thing and well, didn't appreciate what I did get.
Anyway, thank for you noticing me and reminding me to try to just be ok with the feelings- all of them. It is all just a process after all and some parts of it are more challenging than others and some parts are more circular. ;)
I've enjoyed reading your posts, glad you found your way here and I wish you the best in your journey.
