Comment on How can we help? by Karen Ann

I just today started reading your book “Changing Your Course…the Life You Want” on my front porch.

It is what I’ve been searching for. I plan to follow-up with everything you suggest to do, in the order you put it.

I am a compulsive Hoarder and my environment is the first thing I need to change. It is dictating everything else “crappy” in my life.

I substituted relationships with things for most of my adult life. My environment it chaotic. I am hating the things I once thought I loved. They are monkeys on my back.

I’m almost 54 yrs old -never married – no kids – one cat.

That is a direct result of that hoarding problem. I haven’t allowed anyone (but family) in my house because of the shame and chaos. Don’t allow close relationsips for fear of being “found out” and ridiculed and tormented. I’m always running away from people (that could possibily be my new best friends) without giving them a chance. I know I could possibly be their new best friend also.

I going to “empty out my house” and start over, picking only a few things that lead to my happiness. Then, I can decide whether to stay here or move to somewhere else. I am sure my relationships would change. Maybe that’s all I need, for now.

I’d say my biggest problem is FEAR.

Hence, I am very much alone and a bit scared of making the wrong decisions and being alone trying to fix it.

Only wish I had an occassional “soft place to fall” (as Dr. Phil states)& positive encouragement from at least one close friend. My cat (and myself) will have to do for now.

With that being said (in relation to your post):
I’d like to see “help with dealing with difficult situations” top on the list.

Thanks for your book.
I have made the Decision to change my life.

Now, I just need to decide how/what/where will make me happy. Back to reading to find out how…..

Patty, thanks so much for dropping us a line! Our hope is that if people like you can share their enthusiasm for following their dreams, others will gather up the courage to do the same. And don’t worry if you feel discouraged some days. We all do. Just be patient and take one step at a time. Remember that sometimes it’s those detours in life that provide us with the best memories. Best of luck to you and your husband with your business venture. Keep us posted!

I have read 2 of your cookbooks. They are like therapy. I am 52 yr have 4 children ages 25 to 8. My husband and I have owned our own commerical flooring business ( which has been very successful) for 25 years. We both want to do something else. His family was always in the resturant business. We are use to working many hours. But would love to do what we like. I love to cook but have never had any education. Only 4 children to cook for. We dont know where to start. to buy existing, to start from scratch. any words of wisdom? We are in Stuart florida

We just returned from visiting our 16-month-old granddaughter in New Mexico and she too, seems to enjoy nature. Picking up pine cones, playing in the leaves, watching a stream trickle through the woods all made her very happy. (Okay, she liked going for ice cream too – but that goes without saying, right?)

Vermont that is a place I intend to visit one of these days.

I do know what you mean about nature, being raise as a child on a farm and now living close to the Rocky Mountains. It is great to take the short drive (about 20minutes) to the mountains. Walk by a river and listen to it sing to you. The wind blowing in the trees. Just wonderful and relaxing.

Thanks for the reminder.
