If you go to your “friends” section in the “account admin” area of the site, you should be able to see a little picture of an envelope beside each friend. Just click the one that is next to the friend who you want to see your e-mail. I will make it so that you can see mine, and now when you are at my profile, you should be able to see it.
I have to go now, as my sister just came over! :) I’ll talk to you soon! xxx

lol :D I’m glad you laughed :) I was trying to say it in a nice way, because I do know the person who wrote the post, and he is really nice. I just would never want someone to make a post like that about me…lol
haha…I guess that great minds do think alike, then! :D
Life is good! I’ve been so busy this week, I haven’t had a chance to e-mail you! I’ll send you something this weekend.
ooohhh, I love yoga! I’ve never tried water aerobics, but it does sound like a lot of fun! I’ve actually started riding my bike more now that it’s not quite so hot outside. Did I tell you that I went on a retreat for my church last weekend? It was sooo much fun!!!

I will check out that broadcast from Joyce that you mentioned. I looked at it a little, but didn’t have enough time to listen to all of it, yet! I am really glad that I found this site, as well!! I have met a lot of amazing people on here (and you’re one of them!), and I am sure that I will meet lots more in my time here! :) Talk to you soon, and I hope you have a great weekend!!

Hello, sorry it took me so long to reply to your shout, it’s been crazy at school and work lately! Yes, I am into God :D I have considered him my best friend for many years and he is the only reason I am still alive today :) It is only in the past several months that I have really begun to realize just how much he does help me and how much I need him every single day. That’s so great about the family in Bali! And to be honest I do believe that God either allows or instigates everything in our lives, so it was most definitely from him :)
I would love to talk to you much more!! I have been learning a lot over the past few months and I have so many questions, about life, and God as well. I am actually trying to make a website to share my story/background, so if I ever finish it, I will be sure and send you the link. But I will also talk here, if you would like. Or we could talk through e-mail, if that would be easier/better (and it would be more private).
Yes, I had the some of the same experiences growing up. I think that the first time I really realized that my family was different was when I read books. I used to read all of the time, and it seemed like the parents in the books were always so understanding and loving. I kind of lost myself in an imaginary world for a long time. After I was done reading a book, I would continue the story in my mind, sometimes imagining that I was one of the characters. It’s been hard trying to live life when my dreams seem so much better, but I am learning just how much fun life can be and how much there is to do!
I am not quite free of the hurt that I had, but I am getting there. And I am learning more and more each day about the love and joy that is found in God.
Wow, that sounds like it was a great (and very sad) experience in Africa. I have always wanted to visit another country to help out the missionaries or other groups of people, but haven’t gotten the privilege of doing so yet.
Thank you!!! It is so great to know that I am not alone, and that you care! For so many years I really did feel so alone, but coming here has helped me SO much! Both in helping me to know that I am not alone, and also b/c I have met so many wonderful people on here!
I have heard of Joyce Meyer, but never listened to any of her programs. I love those quotes you had, they are really, really good!! She sounds like such an amazing, strong, woman and I will be sure and check out her website!! There are a couple of people who I have been listening to, one of them is Charles Stanley, he is really good! :)
No, what you said didn’t sound preachy :) I am glad that you shared with me!! It is so encouraging to hear from people who have made it through so much in life and yet still stay so happy and joyful about life!!
I look forward to hearing from you again!! Let me know if you want to continue to use the shoutbox, or if you would rather use e-mail :) I don’t think I could ever thank you enough for what you have said, it is so encouraging to know that there is someone out there like you who is willing to talk to me and share what you have gone through!!! Take care, I’ll talk to you soon!!

Yaay!! Hey - I don’t get into preachin’ but are you into God? When I got into God there was a big weight lifted from me/the hole where the loving parents shoulda been was filled….also, God (I believe) sent me the wonderful, amazing, loving, giving family in Bali who ‘adopted’ me and built me a home….ANyway- lets do talk again/more over time….i’d love to hear your experiences….twas always kinda weird & somewhat painful to see movies/tv’s other families where the parents were loving…and now, thank GOD (hehe!) I am FREE from that misery/woundedness/self-pity stuff (most the time!) and stay in gratitude and peace and joy, at least thats the goal!! Working for the AIDS orphanage in Africa really helped - over 100 orphans, some sold to marriage at the age of 6 (like sex slaves) etc etc and all these kids grateful and happy and faithful - really Shut Me Up…at least for a bit!! ANyway - know you’re not alone - I Care!! And I think it is such a testament to you and your spirit that you seem so loving, caring, thoughtful and kind….that may be apiece of the plan….I started listening to this woman Joyce Meyer - she changed my live COMpletely - she was sex’y abused/alcoholic violent Dad, awful family, and she is peaceful joyful and faithful (ANd hilarious) and she says things like ‘your pain can be someone else’s gain’….isn’t that cool? She also said (which I needed but doesnt sound like you need) ‘can’t be pitiful and powerful at the same time…’ and ‘get rid of your wishbone and get some backbone’…but my favorite thing she says is she mocks how she used to be (pretend sobbing) ‘why me why me’ then she looks up and says, ‘why NOT you? things happen to everyone else!!!’ Don’t you love that!! Anyway -hope this stuff doesnt sound preachy - I just wanted to share what has helped to get me out of YEars of misery, dark, not wanting to live, etc….as a result of all the dark stuff/const’y being attacked by my mom…..AND — to tell ya - you ain’t alone girl!! Take care girl - talk soon!

I’m sorry to hear about your parents as well. I have grown to accept mine more now that I am older, and have pretty much given up on them ever changing. But I can change how I act, and I can learn from them how not to act. I am not sure how my younger siblings will turn out, though, but hopfully I can help them if needed :) And I guess that since I was the middle child, I did learn to be the peacemaker and tried to get everyone to agree and be nice to each other.
I would be honored to be your sister!! That would be so awesome :D **hugs** It’s so wonderful that you have someone to say those things to you now!!! And it sounds like we have a lot in common, it will be nice to talk to you again sometime :) You take care as well, and thank you so much!! :)

lol…haha..yeah, I know how it is to be really excited about something and then try to tell other people but it always seem to be the wrong time or something…hehe
You’re welcome :D And yes, one of my cousins has autism. I have only met him a couple of times (we live so far away) but his is an awesome boy (almost 9 years old) and very, very smart! It’s nice to meet you too!! Thanks!
