You are such a shining example of how the things that have happened to you are not what defines you; its how you deal with these things, how you treat others, what YOU do with your life. I hope with God's help you will turn those moments of despair and abuse into a way to teach and educate and bring peace to others who deal with horrific moments from their past.

This is so right on. In fact, maybe you wouldn't mind if I used this for my magic quilt? And maybe you wouldn't mind sending me a piece of fabric to be sewn into the quilt? <br /><br />I'm putting together concepts right now and this goes perfectly with my how to reduce, reuse, and recycle your grief idea. The idea that you can turn your grief into something beautiful. It's magic, the alchemy of it. <br /><br />LY!!
