The ABC’s of Wellness!
I want to thank Debbie at Two Minutes of Grace for nominating me the ABC award!
A Long Time Ago….
(Sorry for the delay!)
Debbie has been a mentor, not just in the BlogOSphere, but in my life.
I am eternally grateful for Debbie for her support and gentle guidance
while my mother was dying.
I was able to find forgiveness for my mother on her death-bed.
Debbie had a hand and her Heart in that.
Thank you,
a million times, thank you,
Debbie for your Thoughts and Prayers.
You have touched my life.
I also want to thank Paulann of Growthlines
for listening with Heart and offering unending support and wisdom
as I have walked the path of Grief.
Paulann is a gifted therapist and has been my virtual Grief Therapist.
Debbie and Paulann, here is my Word Picture of Wellness.
Thank you, Again and Again for reminding that Wellness is mine;
If I choose to see it.
Love to you both, Jen

Dear Jen – How I love and admire you!
I’ve read Your Word Picture of Wellness several times now:
the first time, just for the feel of it
the second time because I’m dyslexic and it is alphabetical 😉
the third time to really know you better
the fourth time to know me better
I loved it all 4 times. 😀
Journeying with you over these past months has been remarkable.
Thank you for welcoming me into your life and into your heart.
love and peace to you, dear friend,
Debbie

A very fine post containing very wise advice, I know I will not follow, no matter how hard I try. (To name but one thing, i was born a pessimist)
Love Steph
