I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...

Are you doing anything to make it happen? (Job, your own apartment, save up money, etc?)
I think I've told you before I had my first at 19 and it was no picnic in the park. I was in school full time/job/some time partner, nope no picnic.

3) Wait a little while longer..how much longer is up to you, and then have a baby by artificial insemination etc.
There may be some option I haven't thought of...
