Prom time is approaching. Kate Harding had an excellent idea. Her idea is to help underprivileged girls have the prom of their dreams by donating some of your fancy dress clothes to a local charity like The Glass Slipper Project.
I remember my prom days. My family never had too much money. But my daddy worked 80 hour weeks to keep my younger brother and me in a private school. He wanted us to

I have even gone back to some of my earlier posts on the support forums to make sure my own words didn’t come back to haunt me. Even when I was a staunch supporter of WLS, I was looking at the possible long term effects it may have if used on kids.

For years I was one of those women who thought she had to have someone in her life to be complete. This belief led me into all sorts of bad relationships. What’s up with that??
Why did my whole self worth seem to hinge on whether I was part of a couple or not?
I’m one of those who never does anything half way. When I get involved with someone it is full force from the get go.Yeah, I know not
