You work so hard to share here and on facebook; but I don\u2019t understand why your blog page is so behind. Are you ill? Suffering spiritually? or is someone preventing you from moving forward by keeping your word away from us? I feel a heaviness for you. I enjoy reading your answers, you inspired me to move forward. Who is there for you? In your book there is something missing, the new you. Have you found yourself yet? If not, why?\u2028Love you to know how much we all care for you. I work for Oprah. Need to remain anonymous for now. Good Luck! Do not allow anyone to keep you from your dreams. Keep dreaming, Karen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>O Friend<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear O Friend,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I&#8217;m trying my best to dream forward. No one can take my dreams away from me. Thank you for sharing and expressing your concerns over my blog being a bit behind. I answer each person individually and personally here and on Facebook from many different countries. I do my best to stay current, but I also work at a full time job. I work hard at everything and secretly wish that answering questions could be my full time job, but it&#8217;s not. I love to write and am working on a sequel to <em>Switching Time<\/em>. I enjoy sharing and helping others and will continue to do so for as long as I can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I would love to talk with Oprah someday. I believe if she read my story and met me she would find me to be someone who not only could she identify with, but all who have been abused and suffered could as well. If it is meant to be, it will be. I have always admired Oprah for all that she has done to help others. In more than one way, I identify with her and try to help others as she does, not monetarily, but emotionally and spiritually. I believe it is my purpose to comfort those who are hurting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I admit I feel spiritually drained at times, but I continue to move forward anyway. I&#8217;m waiting for my spirit to catch up with all my heart aches to accomplish. In the meantime I am here, a survivor. I&#8217;m willing to help others through sharing my story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your caring support. It would be nice to meet you some day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Wishing you a future filled with success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by O Friend\u00a0on 21 Apr 2010 at 9:56 am Good day, Karen!
