October 31 2013 Greetings My Friend, I have been to Colorado all week and I have learned a ton of stuff. I have met my cousin for the very first time and it has been an awesome week. I have heard some stories about Dad about his brother and about my grandparents. Many for the first time. I met Aunt L and she is a charming wonderful lady. Junior took pictures of Dad, Uncle F and even of Grandma and Grandpa from pictures Aunt L had on her wall. D and I are working at posting a picture of each of us in high school. We were shocked to see how much alike we looked back in the 70's. I am so happy that I had the courage three years ago and made a phone call to my aunt and uncle's name and found D and her brother and even talked to Aunt L a time or two before her health went south. D and my relationship keeps growing deeper and we find that the family line is ever present in our personalities. As my family seemed to pull away I had made this phone call in the hopes of finding family that would claim me. D and I both love to write and we love the Lord and we want to share our faith the best we can. This past week D has taught me how to have my blog, a twitter page and how to advertise my book. The first day I had a sale for my book, the first in a long time. As my family seems to draw near again I also have another part of the family to add to the dynamics. This girl is about as pleased as punch. As my divorce happened I found myself turning to God in a way I had never knew Him. I found myself turning to God and for the first time after God taught me to pray through the cross I began to understand the need of the cross. I continue to pray through the cross nightly and into the morning as I wake up and go back to sleep. As we talked I find that D began her serious walk right around the time I started mine. She did not grow up in church so she did not raise her kids in church and lived without knowing God's love. She met Jesus and her life has turned around and we both feel that we can't ever live without God ever again. We know the pain of living life all on our own and don't want to go back there. I shared Grandma's one story I got out of her when she visited after Grandpa died. Dad could not reconcile with her so that is the last time I ever saw Grandma R. I shared Grandma's story and no one had heard this story. I found out that Grandpa got kicked in the head by a horse and my wonderment is if Grandpa's terrible meaness might have been a closed head injury. We will never know. We have not gone sight seeing this past week. Our focus has been bringing me up to speed on Hootsuite and tieing my blog, a new FB page and my old FB page together. I will be able to put posts out ahead of time and then they will automaticaly post from now on. I am excited that I should be able to have a seamless posting from now on. Our time together is coming to a close. In the morning we will begin our long journey back home. We will fly out of a small airport a couple hours from her house to a bigger one. From the bigger one we will have a lay over for several hours in NC and from there we will head for the airport a few hours from our house. I will work on my smart phone trying to put Hootsuite on that. D and I have posted Twitter posts and my FB page regarding my blog and book till early next week and then I will have time to get home and to begin working more earnestly on writing. The viatmin B 12 has continued to give me more energy. I still have moments but I have more energy moments these days. I learned a way to make scalloped potatoes and ham in the crock pot, got a muffin recipe. I shared a couple of recipes with D and that too was fun. This should be the last trip till this winter when we hope to head to SC to visit some good friends. I will be able to implement more routines into my day to day life. I am very excited to see where these next months will take me. I find myself in awe of God. I again see how God works wonder in my life and I want to share this wonder with anyone I am able to. My walk with Jesus continues to grow and I continue to see changes within me. I like the "new" me and I also know that I will continue to grow and change and that feels awesome. May God bless you and keep you make His face to shine on you Love Janet PS please check out twitter and my new FB page. Twitter - letterfromjanet Facebook - http://ow.ly/qkkfr
