Pretty In Pink... Perfect In Paisley!

Forgiveness is an odd bird, and it is not to be associated with forgotten. A person may forgive but never forget and in order to be forgiven one must first repent and in the case, I am so familiar with... neither is being had! I decided to go into Life and Business coaching for this reason alone! To help, serve and offer an ear to understand, to hear another's silent cries when their heart has been ripped out to the core, thrown on the floor and smashed so there is nothing left to give anyone else ever again. The psychological damage that has occurred turns into a post-traumatic stress disorder. Not all scars are visible and the ones that are hidden cause repeated pain time after time after time. PTSD shows up in many forms. Often a person can be triggered by a name, a text, a repeat visit from the person, a story, a sound, a song etc etc...  It is as if the person who suffers from the PTSD has been kidnapped and only after being released and escaping, the kidnapper still reac...

Can you imagine what it feels like to stand on the edge and leap into the unknown? Can you imagine what it feels like to have your heart beating so fast you can not catch your breath?

(although I have become very good at being frugal and making it work for me!) I dislike when I don't have enough. I hate when I have to borrow! And I loathe when someone offers to give any! ( I get this horrible ache in the pit of my stomach. That sinking feeling like I did something so wrong) M...
