I hadn't realized it has been that long since I last posted and for that I apologize. The entire book is on write-disc and available at the thrift store, but I've had great difficulty getting online. I have a new volunteer who is going to work on the computers, but I am not sure exactly where the office is going and very little is unpacked. I am living at the Starlight Motel across the street from the thrift store and owned by Gail and Cathy who are the founders of ESN, Entrepreneur Skills Network, the non-profit whose thrift store I manage in barter for the rent for SEASCAT's space.
I've been there most days, and now Andy has joined me, though some of the alters are not exactly comfortable, yet. Last night they took back to their room a bunch of things to price online as that's what they felt they were ready to contribute. It is all good. I apologized for being impatient, I've just had so much to do and have been feeling overwhelmed. It makes sense they need some time to get acclimated.
There's also a lot of changes here at the motel, and I'm not sure exactly how things are going to end up, but I can tell that it appears all for the good.
Losing my last housing was pretty disturbing to me and I'm back seeing my therapist. What I know in my head just doesn't seem to transfer to my heart - I am worthy of good things, I know. I just have to believe it in my heart. And so far, this move has resulted in more good things than bad- and I am grateful- I am grateful for so many people and things right now Gail, Cathy, Al & Rachael- new friends who helped me thru the move, and now, Andy.... and unexpectedly I am grateful for the use of the motel truck and that I got to the dental clinic today and it was just a filling had fallen out, not a deep new hole that it felt like to me.
Soon as the office is set up I'll get more chapters posted and I am hoping also to get the book on Amazon, since it is NOT downloadable as I thought it would be on this blog.
