I don't visit here very often lately - I have found a lot of healing through this group, and haven't had a flashback since fall! However, I find I do better if I don't keep bringing it to mind by visiting here where I'm surrounded by it. Please: That's not directed at the people (You guys are so loving!) It's only directed at the subject. Love you all! I live in the mountains of Maine with my husband and our two German Shepherds. We built our log home in 2001 and try each year to live a little more in harmony with Nature. I know I am blessed. My biggest challenge in life is PTSD, which I just found out about, after suffering with the symptoms for 23 years. It's still hard for me to believe it's been that long. Having found this group and learned about PTSD has already helped a lot, and I plan to cure myself of it permanently.

Everything to do with horses, hiking in the mountains, paranormal investigations... How's that for diversity? Conscious Creation - We know we are creating our future everyday. Our next dream-goal is to build a stable and some cabins on the mountain and offer spiritual retreats with daily horseback riding and a chance to reconnect with nature and Spirit.
