Hi Lauru! Have been thinking about your post for days now, and not really knowing what to say, yet feeling compelled to say I am thinking of you. Read some of you blog... we have so many of the same fears and questions, you are definitely not alone in those.

I've written so many different things and erased them all. It all came down to this...I think you're pretty awesome, even if you can't see it yourself right now.

NuckingFutz said it exactly..."You are not your bank account, nor your employment status. You have worth just being you."

Btw, I TOTALLY LOVE your polar bear sig!
