Default Hiya from Sunny Southern California!!

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Barbara. I live in Temecula California. I'm 46 years young, cool Mom of 3 grown children, single yet yummily attached to a delicious man in Colorado (Yes, an LDR! Long Distance Relationship.....hence why I'm here looking for support with life's challenges!) I stumbled upon this forum as I went literally looking for a pep talk for myself and I needed it to relate to my favorite book- The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I was finding myself agonizing over my future and wanted answers NOW about how it was that Karl and I would be together permanently. It was seeming so impossible to imagine the circumstances coming together in such a way that bring us side by side as we are hoping for. I realized that I wasn't enjoying any part of my existence right NOW. I've read "THE" book (P of Now) and my symptoms were not hard to diagnose. I knew I needed the perverbial 2X4 across the kisser and needed it NOW!! LOL! I'm here to be enlightened and to possibly share some hope for someone else who is feeling like I do. So instead of thinking I'm here to get help- I'm here to help!! Let's be friends

I can certainly understand why you'd swear off LDRs!! They're NOT for the faint of heart! There are millions of US "out there" though and in desperate need of support! (Like me )
But what a great life lesson for the opportunity to focus on oneself WHILE being loved from afar. My pattern has been that I JUMP IN PREMATURELY and give less attention to my life and what's best for me. This current situation has been an eye opener for me. But I can't do it alone and would like to find others that might be able to share similar stories. Perhaps I should start a thread with this subject as it's title. Can I do that? How does one start a brand new thread?
