Hey, that's totally up to you. 's " before " photo was a bikini

shot. As long as you are comfy with that, then it's fine.

I draw the line at naked pictures, lol...not like anyone is going to

post naked pictures! heh - sorry, in a goofy mood today.

> Is it appropriate to have a bikini shot for the success

story " after " shot? I've got one from today. I'm feeling a little shy

about it. I don't know if it's appropriate or where to draw the line

on " modest " sometimes. Maybe Amy's judgement on it would be best, if

it's for the Tae Bo Fans site. Thanks for your input!

> I wonder how many there are here, that feel that they don't have much help or

support in the real world?? Oh, I've been there! Having expectations on some

family members and certainly getting nothing back. Yup, the list of the people

that I thought were friends and who didn't even call during the treatment time

or the cancer.

what was to come!! Many folks in these groups that know my walk, constantly

tell me how I'm an inspiration. I certainly do not feel that way; but, sadly, I

can tell you, that a few in my husband's family and some friends,either do not

see it in that way or just couldn't be bothered to think about it anyway. Yup,

it hurt big time!! Still to this day, I can not wrap my mind around that type

of behavior!! Thank heavens too, because I wouldn't want to be me if I was that

self-centered.

> But, it sure did clean out some of the Pollyanna in me! I've been so blessed

to be living in this RV park with the west coasts big trees around me. It gave

me a lot of time to search my soul and ask myself where I was going and with

whom. I sure didn't want those two-faced people in my life, friends or family.

However, it gave me an opportunity to peek out of my circle and see some gals

that looked a little lonely and afraid sometimes. So, I have some new

friendships, I have the old friendships that did last and I have my family.

> Now that I have been somewhat prepared, mostly I have my grip on my Higher

Power again and that makes me tough. I don't have to go weeding people out of

my life now and I'm coming up to my biggest battle for my liver yet. Chances

are extremely high that I'm not going to come out of this alive. But, you know,

I'm not scared!!! I feel very safe with my Higher Power in the drivers seat and

the friends that I could keep. I've cleaned my side of the street. I

constantly tell those that I love the most - that I love them. Even my Dad!!

LOL That little old guy now expects to get a " I love you Dad " and a kiss on his

head. I think that the only thing that worries me a bit, is the pain!!

However, there are a whole lot of folks in this group that live in that pain, so

I'm blessed to be directed here.

> Whoops, I actually started this to say to Annie - ask for that help!! There

are really people out there that will help while the ones we thought would,

won't. You have no reason to be a martyr about this. You've had a rough road

and it's OK to ask for help. I would say definitely, if you belong to a church,

talk with the minister about it. He/she will definitely know some folks. But

the bottom line is - be all right with the big Spirit and I'm sure that your

needs will be filled and likely not from where you might think.
