This will be a challenge 1 minute ago

but I like challenges…so it’s time to start from the beginning and learn what to do in situations like the one I had this week.

My whole plan was to help with self-esteem issues once they are safe…that still maybe where my calling is in this process.

Has it really almost been a month since I last had one of those days, black days, as I call them (thanks to my choice of colors for outlook)? June 8. There were a couple of nights when I engaged in online shopping, but none of that disastrous stuff.
