Hello Ladies,

sorry I have been MIA for a few days but htere is such good reason to why....
as some of you know I have intense fears of just moving forward and living my life in general...I complain and do nothing about things so....this past week I decided to take a step to improve myself and my life some may say it is a baby step but for those who know me it is a huge gigantic step forward for me...I am not moving ot Arizona but I am doing something that will help me with move...
First I called renfrew and I have to go back for another assesment for my ED..which is good very good I am going to try to do a group therapy once a week..
And I went and registered for classes for college which is something that I have put off for many many years cause I was afraid that I would fail that I would not be good enough so I got all of my courage together and went and registered for class today I start school on the 24th of this month I am scared but at the same time so proud of myself maybe just maybe this is the thing that is going to break this cycle of me being afraid to live and die...
I just wanted to share my happiness with you all..
only 2 more weeks of therapy with marnie then I am on my own..I am going to miss her she is the reason I am alive today she gave me the tools I needed to end the vicious cycle of me wanting to die..
but I also know that I need to continue with therapy in order to get my ED under control..
I am so proud that I am finally taking the steps forward in order to live a better life.

Thank you Trac and Julie...
I really am excited nerviouse since I have not been in school for about 10 years but I told myself that this year was going to be different for me not like last year I turn 30 this year and I have dreams and I think it is aout time I chase those dreams for me and not to make others happy with me...
so thank you I am so happy that I can share this with you all.

Erin,
You can do it! One of the 55 year old ladies in my Water Aerobic class has went back to school. She had cancer of the spline. Survived it and a divorce. Lost all of her hair. Came back full blast. Has lost 80 lbs. Subs for me when I'm unable to teach. Let her be your inspiration.
