I love to here personal success stories.
I would like to here your stories of something you had to overcome, how you did it and how you feel about it now.
It can be about anything and everything, health, work, a move, school etc.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I don't know what to say. There aren't enough sorry's for what you've been through.

I'm so glad you found the will and strength to keep going. You have come a very long way. What an inspiration you are!
Big hugs,
Now??? Not before? Do I have to come down there and put a governor on that bike.
A governor is an electric box that will only allow you to get up to a certain speed. I used to have to put them on Navy ground flight equipment so the guys would not try taxi them down the runway.
I will top out your speed at about 15 mph. haaaa. Can you trade it in for a scooter? The kind the kids have in our neighborhood? They stand up and ride the.
I trust you wear cranial protection and do not think you are to cool for that. I mean, yes you are to cool, but not to wear a helmet.

You have endured so much. Big hugs to you.
It's been quite an eye-opening experience to read these stories. It amazes me what we can endure mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
What I want to post about pales in comparison to the other stories, but for me it was a life-altering experience. Up until the birth of my second DD, I thought my life was so boring. I was always the picture of good health. I'd never experienced any kind of tragedy to speak of.

Your blog put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I used to get spankings when I deserved them even with a belt, but only on the rear end and never hard enough to bleed.
I cannot imagine what it must have been like to be such a small child and to be frightened of the very people who were supposed to protect you from harm.
How anyone can hurt a child is beyond my comprehension.
My mother's cousin used to sexually abuse me when I was 3 - 10 yrs old. Oddly they found him murdered and incased in ice on my birthday a few years ago. He lived in Wisconsin. I guess he finally met his match!
I do not think there is anyone out the who has lived a perfect life. So sad.
I just cannot imagine my own parents hurting me the way your father hurt you.
Has he changed? Do you ever speak to him? You never mention him much.
Thank you for sharing that story. I still think you should be a writer bug. You have so much to say and such a special way of saying it.
Thank you again,

To have to suffer so much at a time that should have been happy for you and a baby and DD1 to look after. I have heard that giving birth is the closest you can come to death. Strange how giving life can take a life.
You have been through the wringer in such a short amount of time and also seem to have or still are pushing through it gracfully.
I too am amazed at the stories here along with the strength and will to survive. It is truly amazing what the human body and mind can take.
All of these stories are an inspiration. Including your's ting. I think they are different in a way that they can't really be compared to each other other than they are all traumatic events that have had lasting impressions on people's lives.
I am sure there are people out there who can identify with them too.
Thank you for posting and adding to the positive outcomes here ting.

Yes I know what an overspeed govenor is, I hit one and split my needles on my first solo flight! My heart was pounding, and I was 1000 feet in the air on a very windy day, having my TOSS kicked! I recovered both tachometers and flew back to the airfield. When I landed, I took first row, first spot; I grabbed my helmet bag and never tied down the blades, I walked away and went to the briefing room and sat down. An old pilot, DAC, Department of the Army Civilian Instructor pilot pointed at me to come to him. I was so embarrassed to go over to him. First, he asked me where his helicopter was, then asked if I was ok? I said I was fine, and he asked if I hit old george? Sheepishly I looked at the floor and said yes. He praised me for recovering the aircraft and not killing myself! Then he said I had to go back up solo in the morning. I protested, and he said no, you need to get back on the horse. Reluctantly, I agreed, everything turned out fine.....I graduated. Woo Hoo
So, no, I don't need you to put old george on my bike! How embarrassing that would be! But, if you still want to come down here and chase me, have at it. BTW bring your helmet! LoL

It would have to be the big change into becoming a single mommy. I got pregnant with my son at 14 had at 15. By 18 my daughter came along. I finished school out and moved away to Georgia with my children's father. At the time I didn't not know he was using drugs really bad. He became VERY abusive physically and mentally towards me and the children (children 4 years & 10 months). It came to the point I didn't know what to do. I was in a state with no family - no friends - just me and the kids.
After a night of my children's father not coming home (after being sent out to get food from the store with the last bit of money I had) the kids were hungry I was hungry. I fixed what I could with what I could find in the refrig. He came in the next afternoon. After questioning him about what happened - he became very angry - he started to beat me my son at age 4 jumped on his fathers back and begged him to stop hitting mommy.
He got off of me and went to the bedroom. I slept on the couch with the children in my arms that night. I had a dream that night that he killed me. The next morning he went to work with the car. I jumped on the phone and called a shelter. They sent a taxi for us. We stayed in the shelter for five whole day (it was 4th of July weekend I'll never forget). Then they sent us on the train back to PA.
To that day it's made me a strong person. I will not put my children or myself in that kind of danger of being abused physically or mentally by anybody. I will not put up with less when I know I deserve more.
I know I'm a single mom now it was my choice and the best one I've made (their dad is now doing 10-15 in the pen). My children are happy - well taken care of - and doesn't want for anything!

You're welcome, Cat. I just want to find someone that will love me and never desert me.
I figured since I've been around you ladies for as long as I have, it's time to reveal some really personal stuff, because I know that I can trust all of you. And sometimes it's good to remove some of my armor to reveal more of a sensitive side.
Hugs!
