(Please excuse the rhythm and rhyme but I felt the message was more important) I've kept a secret for a man who really didn't give a damn. I was ashamed to say he hurt my body and soul. But over time my esteem began to grow. I made new friends who told me you are wonderful- a heart of gold. Then soon the God in me said it's true you see. It was then I began to believe. So I told this man to leave my home and leave me alone. Tomorrow I file for divorce against his sorry soul. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Shoot for the moon.

Well my dear friends...mission accomplished. Thank you all (Pepper, Hoot, RG, RS) for your support. What lies ahead will be easy in comparison. One step at a time...one day at a time. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars.~Les Brown~ |

Moonshine, Marge, Denise: Thank you all for your support. I know this may sound strange but had it not been for Passions (friends), I don't know if I would have found the strength to do what I needed for myself. I found it in your writing, your friendships to myself and each other. Things I had not seen for a very long time. I am deeply grateful for all of you. FYI: Things are going smoothly and I begin a new job Tuesday. But I will be popping in at night to see all of you. God Bless You All. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars.~Les Brown~ |

Good luck in your new life and in your new job, Julie! Take one second at a time,(the best way not to be overwhelmed with all the changes, keep close to God in prayer and keep yourself out of harm's way) You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I know how tough this road is, but I know you will be fine! Perhaps a trip to visit the grandchildren for a week or so? Keep in touch! ------------------ Denise |

The road ahead is much smoother then the one you left behind my friend. Just be wary of the bumps, they too can hurt. We need to learn never to find another like the one left behind. I too have been there. Enjoy your freedom my friend. |

llovit: Hugs back to you. Marilyn: Spending time alone to make sure that I don't repeat this mistake. To me this is one of the more important steps. He was the first to treat me this way and will be the last. WhtDove: Though you know little of my situation, you have been a big source of support to me through your inspiring poetry and your heartfelt comments. Seymour: You are one of the nicest men I know and gives me faith that there are still some good men out there. I am just overwhelmed by all of your support but not surprised. Passions friends are always there for each other. ((((HUGS)))) EVERYONE ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Shoot for the moon.
