Man. What a response. I have had about 20 people send emails expressing love and concern. It made me feel good. So thanks!
I (kind of) forgot that people read my blog. I blog just for me. I mean, Im glad that people read it and Im glad that I've been able to help people but I blog for me. I used to journal on my computer but one time when I was coming home from Texas I had to put my computer through the scanner thing- and my hard drive was wiped out. And I didn't have it backed up. It had YEARS of journal entries on it. And they were lost. I was heart broken. Completely heart broken. Blogging is a nice way to kmow that I will always have my thoughts and that's why I blog.
Yes, I am confused. But I am doing okay. And I am working through it. I am dealing with thoughts and feelings that I haven't ever dealt with. Yes. I have felt them before but I ran away from them and/or swept them under the rug. So I am working through them now. I am confused but I am excited and anxious to get this worked out in my own head and heart.
On to other things, I am loving work. I work with Amanda DuBois who is absolutely one of the best people I have ever know. And she has given my so many great experiences. I have been introduced to different incredible organizations. Today I went to a PeaceTrees Vietnam http://www.peacetreesvietnam.org/ luncheon. PeaceTrees is an incredible organization that deactivates live mines. Everyday people, mostly children lose limbs and are sometimes killed because they step on land mines. Incredible that that is happening right now. And now I am involved in helping it stop.
A couple weeks ago I went to a Women's Funding Alliance breakfast http://www.wfalliance.org/. It is an organization that believes in helping and investing in women and girls. If you invest in women and girls, you invest in the world. I was totally inspired listening to the things they do and how I can be involved.
Although there are things that I am personally struggling with, there are people and causes that need me. It is easier to forget and deal with your own pain and your own struggles when you get lost in the service of others.
