Who I Am

I am thoughtful, but can be oversensitive. I enjoy people and all animals, and love my family. Sometimes my feelings are raw and easily hurt, I'm a survivor of domestic violence. I try to focus on the good, and the positive things life has to offer me. To persevere, I need to stay calm and focused. And push through the weight of anxiety. Not let my emotions - take control of my spirit, life and well-being. Exercise helps to keep me calmer and balanced, and enjoying humor daily. I am a work in progress and strive to succeed.

I’ve had to work on oversensitivity and going on and on about something. I’ve never suffered domestic violence and have great compassion for you. From your words I can tell that you are a very caring person to both people and animals. Very nice! Hugs ~ Kim

Thankfully you got away from that relationship, no woman should have to put up with a violent partner Tania. Good luck in the contest. Tom PS, and a damn good cake maker in Milton Creek lol.
