Bio

3/16/24 - ****Dealing with Major Physical Health Issues - Recent Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis -- Most Likely Involving Upcoming Surgery, then Chemotherapy -- my availability is EXTREMELY limited - Please understand I will likely NOT be able to respond timely.  *****

========

I respect each Member's time as well as my own.  Due to past personal traumas, I Will Not accept (or continue) most chats regarding either / both sexual as well as spiritually-related issues.  I AM willing to consider chats with members going through current abuse situations who are SERIOUS about seeking to change their situations -- WITHOUT sharing potentially triggering details -- With the goal to hopefully encourage referral(s) to other sources of help.  THANK YOU in advance for respecting these requests.

With that said.....  

I'm glad you found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener.  
I'm here because I want to help / encourage others to have a smoother path to recovery than I myself experienced.

My schedule is busy, and I'll do my best to help as I'm able - for that reason, I don't maintain a regular schedule on this site.  

Please know that it is absolutely OK to ask for a "Listening Ear".   I owe a HUGE debt of thanks to those who have assisted me on my recovery journey and I certainly would not be where I am now if others had not supported and encouraged me along the way.

I may not be immediately available, but I would encourage you, regardless of how difficult your current circumstances might be, NOT to give up. I have personally been astonished as to how it is possible for life circumstances to change and that many times, life DOES get better than one could have ever imagined.... I too am still on a journey, and there are ups and downs, but I am finding it is worth it to keep on keeping on...

I hope the best for each of you. Remember: "Let the Past Be.... and The Future Be Better"

-Donna
