Hi Dianne, in my post 103995 above I wrote "ever the victim." You know, I don't really perceive myself as a victim, but as a survivor and thriver. I was a victim, and a victim of my own learned helplessness, but you know I am empowered! Just a wee bit insecure, though, to be honest. But I walk around saying "I am secure in God's love." I don't think that others writing their stories is any form of competition. I believe in the notion that there is something for and from everyone, and enough to go around. That's wonderful how you two connected, and the buyer of your book did not even know you were in the area. Now she will get a signed copy from the one true Divine Dianne!
