There is deep sadness in your write and your eyes. Look again, an angel is looking back though the smile you are hiding.

A look in our mirror of self-reflection can be harsh. Looking deep into our past, we may only remember the bad, as I do. The resolve to look at the good sometimes will keep each of us going. The pain of the words above are clear.

Erica this is even more powerful than the first time I read it. You write with such deep knowledge and excellence, that should give you some satisfaction. I had a niece that I used to counsel, she was a dynamo very much like you kept herself so busy with other peoples problems helping them "face their faults" etc,but never her own. This is the way many avoid having to face the truth of their lives. You have done this too by what you say, only I know that you have faced what is truth. I have to wonder why you can't accept it and move on.You certainly have made a life for yourself. Do you think you have become a perfectionist where yourself is concerned? Are you expecting the impossible from yourself? there is no one on this earth that is perfect Erica we are all stained and hoping to make it to the heavenlies;-)All the best to you.You are worthy in God's eyes!

Dear Erica:

What a moving write this is. You have achieved so much with your hardwork and kindness. Please do not lose yourself as others might lose you. You have to always remember - You are a valuable person to many, and they need you.
