Dear Friends
Thank you - I feel your hugs. And honest my family is going to need your good thoughts :)
Regretfully - the freud started last night. My Aunt's family has had some issues amoung themselves and would or will not talk to deal with a situation. Now it is out.
I cannot go into details and I am sorry if I sound like a soap opera - but hey - that does describe it. I had a long phone call with one cousin and he is so looking for me to get down there - I guess he and others feel I can mediate. Al i do is say it like it is - how hard is that? . And down there means - Southern IL - Murphysboro - Carbondale. I am the Yankee of the family.
Carol - I like Michele idea - make the call - maybe something can be done.
I still have my fingers corssed for you to have good luck :)
I have another confession I was going to share this earlier, but family situation here was first.
This site - as is the Japan Moms' site - is a welcome spot to be and everyone on both sites, talk freely and with feelings and without judgement.
A big discussion happen on the Japan site - about faith - and the door was open.
So you can say : I came out of the Broom Closet. Say hi to the Witch.
I share this because I wanted no one here to feel I did not trust you to know.
I also know from the past - this faith strikes fear. And I cannot stay here if I have made anyone afraid of me or who just does not want me to stay.
My faith demands of me: No harm to anyone and myself. And that is in thoughts - deeds or words.
I really love and feel your prayers and apprieciate them. When you have asked for prayers - I light a candle to forcus the need you ask for to be sent to you and for you to see the light and feel ease and healing. Then when I see it burn through out the day - I think of the person in need to forcus what they asked for.
If you are all ok with this - let me know Thank you
