Pheeeeeeeweeeeeee, just back from second interview of the week, two jobs plucked out of thin air and two jobs on offer to me,wow what a turn around, it's very hard to try and do something differently, and you wonder how can I? In the situations here we find ourselves in we think and project the outcome without really knowing what to expect if we allow natural consequence and let go, and we use our strength and determination to follow through the results are truly amazing.
I would just like to say also ralationships should be MUTUAL, often self respect and self worth get trampled, never too late to get that back though and boy when you do.
Sometimes the outcome is not what we expect but it's what we need, it really does work if you work it, and you really are worth it!
I'm happy for you. Great news. I applied for a 2nd parttime job today. I didn't do it yesterday because for some reason I was afraid to just do it. Now they have my application and I'm glad.
Thankyou Jerry F, and Buick fear is courage that says it's prayers, trust yourself, we can do anything if we put our minds to it, Jeez did I just say that? Yup x
Congratulations (((Katie))))!! Wonderful news, and yes, it is always amazing to me when I finally am able to really 'give it all up' to my HP; the results are never what I expect-they are always so much BETTER than anything I could have imagined. Thanks so much for sharing!

Going through my mom's things (she passed away last year) I found a little plaque that says the courage is fear slogan. I now have it on my wall, and realize that my mom was working the 12 steps. The other evidence I have is that I found her 12 steps workbook from a class she must have been in. I believe she must have had an alcoholic in her life (maybe my dad?) Hard to tell. A blessing, however, to see her responses and know that she was praying for all of us.
My brother died in a car crash last December (he was the alcoholic driving).
Thank God she wasn't there to see him pass, but maybe they are together in Heaven. I am taking courage tonight, and through tears, saying my prayers.
