((((Mara)))) I am here. We are here. You can count on us. I know it's not the same as IRL, but it's something. Something that saved my life. Truly.

Had you guys not supported me, hung in there with me, encouraged me, cheered me on and helped me to see a different perspective when I was stuck, I would not be where I am now ( a lot better than when I started).

Please try to be gentle with yourself...give yourself a break. you are human, honey. The RIGHT people are worth it.

I learned from someone here at the office something very valuable: we had worked together for several months, and one day I felt like my response was kinda *****y, in general I apologized right away. And she said to me, "oh honey, I know your character. You are fine. don't even worry about it. get it out!" Bless her.

...giving you permission to be human...now get to it (the whole enchilada)!
