Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Your are so welcome. It can be twice as hard without the support of family; you deserve nothing less and have all of us to lean on. Anita Jim and Jen <jlessard@...> wrote: Anita, Thank you for that. I need to be more positive. Although sometimes, I still do get bogged down. I got my husband to eat some of the yogurt everyday too now. If I could see a healthier family, then it would seem more worth all the sacrifices. We do have family that live in other states but, they are NOT supportive of what we are doing with K. They have never been supportive of me. I guss that's another reason why I may lose it now and then. I will try to look more on the brighter side of it all. Thanks for your support.

I'm not swimming in a pool of money either; in fact our expenses far exceed our earnings only increasing our credit card debt each month. I don't know how much more we can bear either.

You guys are doing a great job with K; don't ever give up. Your love alone will see her through.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thank you. I do need support right now as I'm transitioning from allopathy to HP and more natural ways of taking care of yourself and healing. I appreciate all the support from this site. Thanks so much for being here!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 have you considered becoming a homepath yourself, Kay?

Where there is a need, we should try to take the call if we are qualified to do so. I know if Kay had people willing to open their minds and learn, she would be an incredible leader/teacher. If she lived near me, Kay could easily form a group. You can only do what your environment allows. Unfortunately those folks in Kentucky are in great need. They are the ones dimissing their opportunities and missing the call. That's all. :-) > > Anita > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I've thought about it. I have 2 kids to get through college first in the next couple of years. After that... who knows? : ) Kay Re: Tired of people thinking I'm a nut have you considered becoming a homepath yourself, Kay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Dear Jim and Jen. I just wanted to tell you that your letter described our family situation very closely. I hope that the two of you can find the help and support you need. Sometimes I wonder how anybody ever makes it through the ordeal our families are forced to endure. Best wishes and keep up the good fight! Tim Re: Tired of people thinking I'm a nut > > > > > > Yes, it can be difficult to know when to answer the call.
