Heidi,
You are so tough AND brave AND good! I can’t wait until you DO share your story on paper because you have one of the things that is so universally loved and difficult – HUMOR with storytelling.
WE ARE MAKING LEMONDADE RIGHT NOW 🙂
And you have lived so much life and with so much loss. For that, I am sorry.
I marvel at what energy you have and how tough and mushy all mashed together in one you are!
Cis

Jeanne,
Thanks for writing and for the work you do!!!
I’m going to share info. about collecting sea glass and creating soul books because not everyone is comfortable writing. But they are all so important for healing. For lots of survivors, we often spend too much energy hiding our “material” instead of working with and transforming it because of shame. I think there a need for safe spaces to share what is made. This site will be one of those places. So thank you for sharing and for commenting and for your work! Cissy

I was raped once. I became pregnant at 15. I lost my fist love at 22. I spend every day trying to be good. A good mom. A good employee. A good friend. A good role model to anyone who needs one. A good citizen and contributing member of society. That’s what I want to be most of the time. Now, they call me “high functioning.” I often wish daily life wasn’t infused with, or provoked by, what I don’t want to be. Of course, I’d probably be a completely different person if it wasn’t. So I’ll take my PTSD diag and my “high functioning” label and carry that around until I can be as brave as you are, Cissy, and put in on paper as my story. I can’t wait to watch this site grow and read more about the Lemonade Makers! You are amazing!

What a great idea to help others with your blog; I would like to share it with those I work with in CT.
