this time I have just completed a fire walk! It was a sponsored one to raise money for the local Hospice. It was brilliant! I have a certificate and a t shirt both of which I am going to frame.
It proved to me there is nothing I cannot do - I can now face my demons knowing that I can beat them too. Hugs and love to everyone, Viv XXXXXXXXXX

how can you do that... like do you have blisters on your feet or like what? I have seen it on tv but I still dont get it.

No, no blisters and it really wasn't hot! It has something to do with the way the embers conduct heat, the sweat on your feet and the fact you don't stay in contact with the embers very long. Obviously there was heat given off - I could feel it on my face and body, but not on my feet at all. They also help you to get your adrenalin high before you do the walk itself which helps. The training is partly based on Neuro-linguistic training which is where you can change your mood and attitude by how you stand and what you say.
It really was brilliant, and it proved to me that I can now do anything I want because I now do not need to be afraid - apart from healthy fear.
I am now going to begin working on the next part of my life - providing a survivor's group in my county - one which is open to men as well as women. I am planning to have separate groups on different times, but I think it is as I have said before time to break down some barriers. I also want to open a refuge for men in this county - we only have five in the whole country and it is about time that this was taken a damn sight more seriously!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what they would like from such a group or from an advocate? You can e-mail me privately at viviennespeakeradvocate@yahoo.co.uk if you prefer.
Thank you everyone for all of your support and love it helped me through my presentation and the fire walk and I know it will help me with the next part of the journey. Big hugs and love, Viv XXXX

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
