Group,
I am a mother of four, married for 8 years, and a first grade
teacher and a private christian school. My children are 2, 3, 6, and
7 (three girls and my son the baby). I am the baby myself coming
from a family of 2 sisters and 1 brother. I'll be turning 28 on the
25th of this month and at the realizaton that I am klnocking at the
door of the dreaded mile stone of 30! EEK
My love is for teaching and my talent is writing. The written word
(although often misspelled!) has been a great outward expression of
inward anguish caused by a troubled life. My backround is that of
abuse, neglect, eating disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction, and
other various sorces of either self inflicted maltreatment or that
of others.
Alright go get a tissue, compose yourself, and finish reading.
Don't feel bad for me just yet! All of these severe endeavors God
has used to shape who I am today. I am able to do at 28 what some 40
year-olds have told me would kill them or at least severely depress
them! Humor is a huge part of my life. One of my mottos... " When
you stop laughing at yourself that's when you truly begin to die."
Why am I not angry with God for letting me go through all I have?
Well simply put He didn't do it! In the most part man, and sometimes
women, have. The rest was me putting my faith in everything elce but
Him. So I am partly to blame too. I don't appologize for my faith or
even mentioning Him in this post. My Lord is my strength and shield!
I am really looking forward to this new way of life (the no s
diet). I thrive on routine (bulimia is an extreme exapmle of this)
and this will definately help foster that side of me while at the
same time facilitating a healthier lifestyle. Thank you Reinheld!
Saleta
