Re: I would like to thank Stefanie...

Absolutely Tammy. *hugs*One of the most important things for a Buddhist to remind him/herself of is to take ultimate care of themselves, so they may be able to serve others at the best of their abilities. Eat well, sleep well, love themselves, all so they can serve others to their best potential. I think you understand this, and that makes me so happy. Once again, you are a blessing Tammy.Much love and oneness,StefanieOm Mani Padme Hum('Hail the jewel in the lotus')(Wickpedia)Syllable

Tammy, I have read a few of your messages and think it quite an interesting coincidence that we joined at the same time, have the same name, and both have problems with depression and fibromyalgia. It is a good thing that you also use the name Luna or people might really have a tough time telling us apart!Brightest Blessings,TammyOn Jul 4, 2007, at 10:20 PM, ladymoonwhispers wrote:Dear Stefanie,Thank you my dear for your kind words.

Tammy,

I didn't even notice that there were two Tammy's! I only welcomed one

Tammy! I should have said, " A warm welcome to both Tammy's! " It's so

cool that you both met here and share the same issues! I'm glad to

know you both! My best friend since I was 3 is named Tammy and she is

the best Mother, Daughter, Friend, Wife, Sister, Teacher, Worker, and

Housekeeper that I ever met! When I grow up I wanna be just like her!

Ha ha!

Much LOVE and LIGHT!

Sheila

Thanks, Sheila. Apparently, I have a lot to live up to with your best

friend as a standard:) At fifty, I'm still not completely sure what I

wanna be when I grow up, or even if I want to grow up! ;-)

Namaste,

Tammy
