I too am sorry to hear about this, Chatty.

If you PM me your addy, I'll send you a copy of my book because one of the chapters deals with finding purpose in life.

I was lost mentally. I owned my own business but a good friend told me he didn't feel running the DQ was my purpose in life. His main clue was the Stresstabs, Pepto Bismol and Maalox on my desk. He made me explore my mind to find out what it was I was meant to be doing.

So, every morning before the store opened I got down on my knees on that hard tile floor and began asking God what it was he wanted me to do in life. I didn't realize it but the wheels were already beginning to turn.

Later, if you would like me to, I'll post a guided imagery I took part in at a seminar that gave me my answer. I was shocked when it showed I was supposed to be to other women what I had needed myself at one time...a helping hand that understood what it was to be in a abusive marriage and teach them how to leave safely.

Just know that my heart goes out to all of you who are feeling this way. I love you ladies.
