Mary, I read your post in Sunday Roll Call. I want to let you know that I'm thinking about you. It's normal to feel down and deflated after being with someone negative, especially someone who has had such a profoundly damaging effect on your self-esteem over a period of years.

I'm sending hugs and encouragement. You are incredibly loving to put up with that man for the sake of your son. But now you are back to the beautiful, sweet life you have created for yourself, surrounded by the music and passions that make your heart sing. I focus on getting excited about doing the laundry because it's like getting new clothes! (OK, I know I'm a big cheeseball).

It's a new year to go after all of your dreams. I read the poems on your website. You are a powerful, amazing writer. I was deeply touched by every one of them. I'm a professional writer and I've written some poetry myself. You have a fantastic gift and a talent with words and lyricism.

Keep giving yourself credit for all of the steps you have taken. You are an inspiration to us all.

Keep the Faith, Girl!

Couldn't have said it better! Mary, you're in my thoughts as well...and you continue to inspire me with all the great things you've made happen in your life.

Hugs,
