While i was checking my email today a friend sent me a very important message that i believe EVERY woman should know about:

I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.


Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.

*Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility confirmed that *77 was a direct link toState trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *77.

Send this to every woman (and person) you know; it may save a life. This applies to ALL 50 states.

After my appointment yesterday i really felt relieved. I'm not going to go into great details, but it's not as bad as i thought it would be. It's gonna take me some time to get used to the sessions but i'll see her once a week. I'm really hoping to have a great break threw.

Today I have a Counselor coming by to sit and talk to me about my childhood.Ive really been working on opening up so that i can forgive, and let things go So that i may move on with my life.
But now i think i'm starting to back out !
And just when things seem to be heading in the right direction.
While I was sitting down typing this I just realized that this journey is going to be longer than i expected. Now i'm getting really nervous and I want to call it off, but i've already come to far. So now i just have to ride it out and see what happens.

everyone has a breaking point. That one thing that just makes you click and say "that's it, i've had it!" I was laying down the other day (during my "mommy time" )and i was thinking about my mother. At one point in time she use to be my best friend. And now we don't even talk. She hasn't even seen her granddaughter. And that hurts so much.So i'm going to try and be the bigger person and restore our relationship. I haven't worked up the courage to call her just yet, but instead i wrote her a letter and fixed up a box with different lotions and perfumes i know she would love. I'm looking forward to her being my best friend again, especially since i'm a new mother.

What does the first of the month mean to me???
It means paying all the bills and saving a little extra just to be broke...lol.
Well this ,month I would like to start out differently.
Every month after paying the bills i buy something for the house, my baby, or my fiance'...so i decided to take a day for myself. And do all the things i like to do. Lately i've been feeling down and stressed and almost to the point of depression. So Friday i'm going to fix myself up, and go shopping, to the nail shop, maybe even the spa...I do believe that I deserve as much as a day out of the month dedicated to myself. What woman doesn't'?

Yesterday was Father's Day, and i couldn't help but think of all the good times my father and I used to have together. All the trips to the park, even going to the ice cream store late at night. But as I got older things begin to change. No longer did we go to the ice cream store or on trips to the park, instead I was left at home while he went out. On my 16th birthday I stayed in the house alone while he went out gambling, and when he came back he was drunk and broke, instead of wishing me a happy birthday he told me to get out, and that he couldn't support both me and his habit. And now every year on Father's day and my birthday i go through this emotional roller coaster. And I constantly find me asking myself the same question over and over.

How can I overcome this???
