Hey Changing......

[lighter]

You've invested so much energy to the board lately....

how much do you have for yourself?

Just checking on you, my dear.

How's it going?

[Certain Hope]

I am wondering, too, dear Changing...
and thank you, dear Lighter, for your investments which make so very much difference for the good!

I'm imagining that there's plenty of feeling.... whhoooooshhhhhh... going on, and when I wonder how to recoup, I think...
(((((((((Changing))))))))))

Hugs are always in style, I think... even the virtual ones; only wish that I had more to offer... but I hope this will help...
cuz when you speak the truth, I hear angels sing... and I know that makes you the sweetest smelling incense to some... and an entirely different aroma to others.

dot dot dot... I'm praying for your safety and peace.

Love,
Carolyn

Thank You Friends-

Sorry about my erratic posting. I have been doing my best to get things handled on the domestic front to keep clear of Bagworm and the guns- Most (but not all) of my house is cleared out now. I have stayed at other people's homes, etc- I hope that I can get back on track at school, but will deal with whatever outcome I get. I would like to write a book sometime in the future on the skewed nature of the legal system in this area of the law, and I am keeping notes.
I have to drag law books, computer, clothes, etc about, keep things in the car , which I don't like, my foot remains in agony, etc- but it feels nice in a way, in my bare living room with wood floors , a couch, blanket , candles, stained glass lamp, table and little else- a cozy place to study and rest with a gentle rainshower outside.

Thank you for your caring and support.

Love to all,

Changing

::sigh::

I'll have plenty to add to that book.... just ask and I'll begin putting notes together for you.

I think it's a fine idea, btw.

I can imagine it would be healing process.

As for your running around, injured and still caring for yourself.... attending to school as best you can and asking your friends for help....

Brava.

I know it's difficult to do.....

but you seem to have the spririt and abiltiy to navigate problems, even with physical troubles slowing you down.....

clearing out an entire household would be daunting for the most fit among us. 

Amazing, focused, patient (capable) ((((changing))) I so enjoy your voice on the board: )

Dear Changing,

That really is such a cozy image... and the candlelight flickering off of baby Samson... ? Ahhh... security.

Prayers continue for the entire situation, especially that your foot-pain will ease and allow you to rest well. I feel a very bright and glimmering rainbow just around the bend for you... and great peace.

With love,
Carolyn

Thank You Darlings -

Thank you for your caring and encouragement- it helps me snap out of those useless paralyzing feelings.
Miss Lighter, please do keep those notes, and anyone with similar experiences if you would as well. I am working on the premise that the current system is flawed. In domestic violence cases, women are urged to leave and lose everything, even whatever financial leverage they might have to fight for themselves and their children, going from one dependence to another perhaps worse one. I think that it is a set up, and has not proven to be an effective protective device in many cases.
Surely DV safe houses have their rightful places- but when men are threatened with violence, the cops and justice system approaches the problem as one of protecting the individual and their property, rather than compelling them to file documents and run away.

Hope everyone has a happy and peaceful day.
Love,

Changing
