Once again, I've missed another whole week! Geesh, life certainly gets in the way of play sometimes. And yes, I know I still haven't taken pictures of my crafty projects or posted them yet, but it is on the ever-growing "to-do" list. But today's post is more important than that...today's post includes some personal reflection, very personal in fact.
I am finding more and more that I want to use this blog not only to keep friends and family updated on my day-to-day life, but also to be an inspiration to anyone who reads this blog. I've learned that there are more and more lurkers than I ever would have imagined, but hey, that's half the fun of posting a blog, right? I find that I am inspired and encouraged by the other blogs I read and I see how they touch other people through the comments that are left behind. So, in honor of passing on the inspiration...here it goes:
I've made a decision in my life to see a counselor. I have gone previously and found that it really helped me to deal with some issues in my life, but for some reason, I was really afraid to admit that I needed some help again. I have an exceptional family and some really wonderful friends who I talk to, but these issues were different. They needed an outside perspective from someone who knows nothing about me. At first I was afraid to admit that I needed this kind of assistance, as there seems to be a stigma surrounding therapy by some. I had even looked into the insurance coverage and looked up phone numbers months ago, but couldn't bring myself to set up the appointments. But recently, I came to a point where I was ready; where it was the right time. I'm actually excited and encouraged by the reflections I've already made. It's a new journey for me...all part of finding that balance and strength in my life that I've been working on this whole year.
So, if anyone out there is thinking this might be the right path for them, give it a try! It might not be the right decision for everyone, but maybe it's right for you...so far, it's right for me.

honestly, stacy, i don't think there is a person in the world who couldn't benefit from a little (or a LOT) of counseling. i'm happy for you that you are seeking the perspectives you need... lots of {{hugs}} and squishiness being sent your way!!!
To follow your gut is so the right thing to do. If anyone has a problem with you seeing a counselor then that's Their problem not yours. BTW that comes from someone who has been there and is still there You go girl. Hugs EJ
