  1. Hi Susan,
    One of my favorite comment’s from your blog above, #7, do something physical for yourself. Great advice/encouragement! Getting back into good, physical health was very important to my recovery from my husband’s sexual addiction. I found that I put my four young children, and addict husband first, and I took a back seat to my own health needs early in my recovery.
    So much is made about the mental/emotional health, but not enough is said about our physical health, as women, as we age.
    Loved #6, daily readings, too!

  3. Susan,
    Thank you so much for suggesting my blog- Writer’s Patchwork. I am stumbling over nominating 15 blogs to pay it forward. The Women Making Strides is where the award originated I assume. The guidelines appear to mention subscribers under 200. If that is the case most of those I do read or subscribe to have well over 200. If I have misread that let me know. Any thoughts? I’d like to keep the award going.
