If you get the zaps and you need supportive texts, hit me up.<br /><br />My uncertainties are more global. The mountain has no snow on it. It looks like it should look in the middle of the summer in a drought.

The company I work for is navigating very bed, unfriendly waters and if something doesn't go right, it's going to fold. <br /><br />But we should never dispair. Everything has its bad and good sides to it, and we should try to look at the positive, because looking at the negative will bring us nowhere. So that's pointless.<br />I also know finding a job takes time. My sister changed job last year, and it took her a lot of work, efforts and tens of interviews before finding the one. But she didn't give up and she found a place where she's happy, now. <br /><br />I know waiting is hard. Uncertainty is even harder. But with all the applying you did, something will come up. Have faith.

Well done! All I can say is we are all being lied to, and we shouldn't get our news--especially health news--from mainstream media or mainstream medicine. It is all bought and paid for, and designed to manipulate us. Your post was so articulate and reasoned, I don't even have to read your books to know they are good.
