Do You Need a Friend, Too?

Hi there. Sounds like you made a BIG move, which took a whole ton of courage for you to do, and I applaud that. I have been a single mom also for a lot of years until recently I got married to a Middle Eastern man... in the Middle East lol. We are waiting now for his immigration to finally be approved and are very deeply in love. I tried moving myself and 3 kids from Iowa to Washington state once, because I just wasn't cutting it here. But that lasted all of 3 weeks and I wanted a tractor and a cow more than anything in the world lol. So I do understand how it can feel being in a new place. Have you ever watched a film called The Secret? It's about the secret Law of Attraction. It really makes you think, and could change your life. It did mine. In it's most basic teaching, it states, that "Thoughts... Become... Things" And this can be GOOD or BAD. It's really up to us, it really always has been and maybe a hard pill to swallow at first. I know it was for me. But the concept is simple and life changing nonetheless. I hope you'll come chat soon. I'd love to hear what you think of the film! And when it gets to the part where you have to drive a pretend car... you just GOTTA do it lol... it's really FUN! Keep in touch. I know the feeling of isolation, having had little support or family around me all my life, but we aren't alone out here! I'm glad you took the time to write, and look forward to chatting more soon! Keep your chin up!

No I have never seen that Movie and It sounds quite interesting I'll be sure to Check it out most definitly. My my dreams as a little girl are way so different from right now I never dreamt I would have three children and be raising them on my own well my mother has them now until i graduate She is a Big Big Help and she sure is one hell ofa blessing she raised me and my brother on her own Now she is there for me still holding my Hand It is just hard now cause she is so far away I want so bad at times to just throw in the towel and go crawling back home but I Know I can suceed at this thing called life and make a bettewr way for me and my three children My biggest fear though is the cycle repeating itself with my two daughters My oldest Cierra reminds me of me when I was young I got to finish what I started here and make a way but coping with the solitude is a definite challenge There is only so much one could do Well on a good note I only got about 8 months of school left and I am maintaining a 4.0 average

WOW That's awesome! A 4.0?!! That's not easy to pull off. What is your major? From my experiences, things almost never go as planned. There are things that have turned out not as I'd have hoped, but all things work together for good. And I'm happier now than I've ever been. We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust our sails. I admire your tenacity and spirit. Sounds like it runs in the family. Will you stay in Texas?

Lol as it should be ;)

Thanks. I think in helping others we help ourselves. I know you understand.

Hehehe Thanks! Writing is an AWESOME tool for developing yourself and learning about yourself. Sometimes looking back even a month is frightening, then going back 10-12 years... WHAT A LAUGH! It's great that the internet allows us all to connect in ways that would have been impossible even as much as a decade ago. I love to talk as much as I love to listen. I hope not only to help others with this live dialogue but hope as much to learn. Glad to hear from you!

Thanks! My family is all sorts of split up. We don't even do holidays. Well, if we do, I would be the one doing the cooking and cleaning anyway, so if I look at it this way, it's easier to go without all the "to-do" lol. Anyway, my most amazing and absolutely "to die for" husband is on his way to us very soon. And that gives me an amazing amount of encouragement and hope. Take care!
