Feeling lonely

I hope you won't take this as hurtful, it's intended kindly ~

One day, you're going to meet a man who is a REAL man. He's going to make sure that you know just how attractive and intoxicating you are. Then, you'll be so glad this person is behind you.

A person does not escalate into being verbally abusive and possibly dangerous because you lack in some way. That's on him. His issues are not your fault.

Is there an animal shelter where you are? The shelters here are always in need of people to come in and love on the animals and give them some individual attention. :D

Hey butterflies,

I hope that you are feeling a bit better today.:)

Yes, breakups are really hard, but it will get easier with time. I think that it is a good indication that you miss the guys dog more than him!! ;p

I am sure that you will have much personal growth and oppurtunity to gain wisdom and perspective now that you are out of what sounds like a destructive and toxic relationship.

Is there a local church or community center that you can get involved with once you get settled again? Meeting new and positive people and surrounding yourself with good influences will be a healthy move, and could open up some great doors for your future!

Keep up the good work on moving forward and getting to a place that you want to be in your life.:)

Talk to you soon.

Hey butterflies,

There was a time in my life when I made some pretty dumb choices and I mean they were truly unwise and not safe for myself or for my children.  I had low self-esteem and the attention that came my way I lapped up  just like a puppy dog.  It all blew up in may face and the pain was horrific but I have learned since that I made the choices and I had to make better choices if I wanted to be truly happy.

I turned myself around, accepted that I am a good person and that love is not all about how pretty I am, it is what kind of person I really am in how I care for others, take care of my children and interact and love my neighbors.

I stopped with the "coulda, woulda, shoulda" thoughts years ago and now I live in the moment.  You can do this,  I will be praying for you.

Look for a Dog Boarding Kennel in your area..............talk to the owner and see if there are any volunteer positions open. Often the kennels are in need of someone to participate in "play time with the Puppies".

Be well,

Kitt
