Hi Dora, and welcome to 3FC!
I hope you find it helpful and supportive here. I've been visiting for a few months, and really do think that reading/writing posts has been a great tool. Hearing from others with similar questions and situations is enlightening and usually uplifting, too!!
Guynna, I'm from NC as well - great state isnt' it? (except for the awful cold front that came through today after such a gorgeous day yesterday!)
Good luck with your journey Dora, and again, welcome!
