It is Possible

I am feeling so excited and happy about the support group! I am so grateful to be out of the dark place I was in. The anxiety is still with me sometimes, but it doesn't envelop me as it once did. I am so thankful that I am well enough to help others, because there was a time when I didn't think it was possible to be normal again.

My first group was very healing for me personally, because no one showed up, but I was surprisingly okay with that. I am ready now, really ready, to put myself out there. I realize that it's possible that no one will show up again this week, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to give up! I know there are women out there who need someone to talk to, right at this very moment, and they are feeling stuck in a place that seems to have no way out. I want to tell my story and have those women realize that there is a way out, and that they will be normal and happy again. It is so possible.

Someone to talk to.

I started out my day feeling "off". I was doing it to myself, but nothing was helping me to pick myself up. As soon as I spoke to my sister, I felt better. Just having someone to talk to is just huge. The support group begins in less than a week, and I feel like I'm getting signs every day. I'm reaching out, and even if no one show up the first time, I might get just one the next week, then two the next week. But I have a feeling people will come on Friday.

I honour the choices my inner guidance requires. FAITH.

Support Group

The support group is really going to happen! I've got the room booked for January 30th, and for every Friday after that. I really don't know what to expect at all. I am feeling nervous, but I am really excited too. I keep thinking I have a lot to do in terms of what we'll discuss, but I don't think that's realistic. I want to keep the focus on talking. I want each and every mom to say what she needs to say. To be listened to, and to feel safe and supported.

It hasn't even crossed my mind, until now, how many people will show up. Everything will work out the way it's supposed to. I just have to have faith.
