Anita,

Thank you so much 🙂 And you’re right – it is an adventure. I should be excited – excited about getting my life back on track, excited about ‘test driving’ the new me so to speak. It’s been a long 12 months, and I genuinely feel I’m coming out the other side a stronger, more ‘aware’ person, so I’m looking forward to moving forward with this new strength and self-compassion. I know it won’t be an easy ride – finding a job and place to live are two of the most stressful things – but I also know that I cannot get to where I want to get to if I don’t go through the difficult part. So I guess I have to take a deep breath and plunge into the pool with the conviction that I’ll make it through 🙂 I will definitely keep on posting – I’ve found your advice invaluable, so thanks again for taking the time to reply 🙂

Thank you for also questioning my motives for returning – it’s made me even more certain than ever that I’m going back for the right reasons.
