It's got me going good today!

I'll tell it like it is! I exist for helping struggling women get their flipping act together! Too many dear, creative, warm, sensitive, ambitious women are out there who are angry, sullen, depressed and feel totally defeated by this economy. I know the feeling! Believe me I do! I went through that low period several times in my life. One was right after I dropped out of University of Minn because family and financial and dating problems drove me over the edge and I couldn't find a job other than bar waitress, and I was never even a drinker. I didn't know one drink from another, and I was just 21. It was the pits. Another time was 13 years later during my separation and divorce from my high school sweetheart who is the father of my 2 precious children. It was in the late '70s and early 80's. That period of depression lasted about 8 years. I was homicidal and suicidal for the first 4 of them. I drank Kahlua and milk every morning; I smoked a pack of cigs a day. I ate shit and nearly died. I drank soft drinks too. But I recovered. Quite nicely in fact. 


For that matter, I am a totally jazzed up woman, all juiced up on natural living and helping other women do something similar, as long as it's creative, positive, sex, durg and addiction free! Zero tolerance for "substance" use and addictions. I am totally against addictions of any kind, and as far as the list of addictions in this world go, I know my stuff. I am not a psychologist, but I have done an enormous amount of reading and I hate to have to break the news to you gals, but anything anything, anything can be used as a drug. Anything you use, think, say or do can be used to mood and mind alter" and turned into a sick silent addiction (or a noisy one, if it's coming from your mouth.) Bla, bla, bla.
 
My recovery is fabulous. I am so jazzed up about the opportunities that exist today for women who want to do something other than live off of welfare, unemployment, disability and food stamps. 


Women have soooo much value hidden down inside of them. Women have been exploited, tricked and held down for so many centuries, and we are so priviliged to be lining in a decade where there are fabulous opportunities to use our hands, our brains and our inspirations to create things and 


wonderful and profitable with their and energy and their love, outside of multi-level-marketing or flipping burgers at BergerQueen, or Junk In the Box. Real women can't live on that sort of thing! That isn't living! That kind of "live" just sucks the wind right out of your sails.
