Our forum can be found at: Unknown Gem Type: tlx.tlxinv.guestbook "...we have to realize we aren't defined by the illness at all. We define ourselves." KokoroGrl
"here. I can be the 'Real' me without worrying about someone taking advantage of my weaknesses and vulnerabilities. I wear that mask so much out in that world, I need to take it off and let myself out. I can feel soulful here. I know I am amongst true friends.
(((((((((((HUGS))))))))) my friends" ~ Marc
I have a famly here now. A family helps each other grow. That is a functional one does, and this is it!! "DeerLaughing"
".. We all wonder why we are here, and how did we get together, and what makes this the right place to be. I think you know where I'm going with this. "
".. true friendship is freedom, when you lose contact with each other and see each other again and all you have in your heart for that person is warmth.. "
"...that's why you are here, why we all are here, because it's a true friendship with no pressure, no threats veiled in support, just freedom to love, freedom to walk away and the freedom to come back again and still be loved just as much as before you walked away. This is life and this is friendship." ~ Kokorogrl
"your site has the warm feeling of friendship about it"
"You are so correct in explaining how a site is the total of it's contributors! Whatever word of mouth, or word of internet got you all here, the networking is great - all of you here give it a feeling of extension of self and home. I think that is so important and often difficult to achieve." ~Taylorkri

..."I finally like myself. flaws as well as the good stuff. I'm blossoming this year and I am so glad that I am surrounded by the beautiful flowers in this forum..." Swampwitch
..."Kindreds was my first step in changing who I was inside. When I joined this forum I had no self esteem, was totally isolated, hated myself and everyone else. I began to trust people because of this place. I felt safe here, then I was able to reach out into the community, trusting myself more, and began to trust others."...
"I don't think I've been here that long but its actually been almost a year and thanks to all of you, I don't feel so all alone anymore. I have people who I can share my thoughts and secrets with and know they won't be lying to me and pretending to be my friend. I know that it won't be used against me. In some ways, i have changed and come a long way, in others I am still working on them..." DIVIDIA
Find a reason
You could find a perfectly valid reason to never step forward and accomplish anything. But of what value would that really be? You could find a completely understandable excuse for never making the most of your possibilities. And you'd be left with nothing to show for it other than that excuse.
Or you could find a reason to make the effort, to transcend the obstacles, to deal with the challenges and to get where you truly want to go. You could hold that reason up in front of you every time you become weary, every time you become discouraged.
And it would be a reason with some real value. It would be a reason that would compel you and drive you and encourage you toward the best you can be.
Find a reason to accomplish, a reason to succeed, a reason to do what it takes to reach your most treasured dreams. Then, not only do you have a reason, you have much, much more. You have a life being filled with accomplishment and meaning.
