Trish, Re: Seeking, Searching, hopefully finding

[Guest guest]

Wow, yeah, indeed a blast from the past! It is so good to hear from you!

And yes, it does get very hard financially to go the ways of alternative

medicine. I'm not

living on my own anymore because of the costs and in some ways that is a very

hefty price

to pay -- yet I'm dedicated and hope that eventually I'll get well enough that

I'm able to

afford to do more on my own (like a place called " home " ) -- lots of emotional

healing is

part of the whole package -- I am glad for NOW, this moment. I've expended a

lot of

effort to get here and am not regretting a moment - just feel sad sometimes.

Thank you ever so much for your post, including all the links. It's took me

awhile to get to

it partially because my computer time is limited and also because I have trouble

with my

eyes, particularly the right which tires very easily since I got Bell's Palsy.

I will study what you have included here and do my best to pursue where I am

able.

Blessings to you and a big " HI! " again. I'm glad to know you are still

delightfully here.
