Hi Karen. It was so hard to find your blog. Old web sites kept popping up dated last year and last April. Is something wrong with this site? I am thrilled to finally have found you just to tell you I am so grateful for you sharing your life. If I had a grateful journel I would write thank you to you hundreds of times start to finish. I started journeling because of you. I feel stronger because of you. I don’t feel alone because of you. I even like my doctor now since I know what his job his because of you liking yours. Thank you Richard Baer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Karen Overhill.

Dear Rita Mae,

Thank you so much! I appreciate your wonderful compliment!  And what’s most important to me is that you were encouraged to journal.  Writing down my thoughts and feelings saved my life. For me, journaling is like venting on paper and letting go of the pain within. When I wrote, I was relieved to feel the weight lift off my shoulders and a good feeling of exhaustion knowing that I accomplished sharing the most personal secrets that kept me prisoner within myself.

I’m not sure how our old Web sites can pop up at times, but it has happened to me, too!  I’m sorry that you had a difficult time finding the right site. I’ll ask Dr. Baer check out what you have shared with me.

Thank you again, and I will send your thank you on to Dr. Baer, too!

Karen
