Subject: A New Look For Betsy!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
And Happy New Year to all!!!!

First I'd like to welcome any new members who have joined and dropped in over the past several weeks. Enjoy your time with us, post when you are reading or just lurk until you feel moved to post.

Now-for some exciting news!!! As you know, our Betsy has been working so very hard at sticking to her diet and exercise plans after her surgery last February. She has done a superb job and I know that you all feel as proud of her as I do. This evening she e-mailed me a photo of herself and I've posted it in the albums for everyone to see. This picture is terrific and that light certainly still shines in her eyes!!! To see the pic, go to photos three and click on Betsy. Betsy, you look great-here's to you, girlfriend.

As some of you know, I have recently registered at university and am taking courses to finish my BScN and I thought you might be interested in the next elective I am taking. It's called "Alternative Therapies" and it's exactly that-a look at alternative health therapies that we are coming to understand and appreciate. I haven't started it yet, just in the midst of getting it organized. I rather think that it might be something worth discussing here now and again.

Hope you are all doing well-miss you!! Martina, if you do make it across to California, it is at least on the same continent as most of us and you might just need to fly a bit east here for a Gathering, *VBG*, Wouldn't that be brilliant???

Hugs
Keira

[> {{{{{{{{{{BETSY}}}}}}}}}} Love your picture!!! Keira, thanks so much for posting Betsy's picture for us all to see, she does look wonderful, doesn't she. Keira, break a leg with your course work. Knowing you, you will do fine! -- JeanClaire*, 09:09:38 01/21/04 Wed

[> Betsy, you look gorgeous! I am so happy for you. Keira, that course sounds very interesting, you may be getting lots of questions from us non-medical types as to our ailments *g*. Martina, I'm hoping all goes well for you, JS, and your DD in your upcoming move. You know, the Surrey gathering in October is on the same coast and there are usually lots of LOLers from California who come up....hint, hint *g*. -- Brenda, 12:13:37 01/21/04 Wed

[> I saw the photo and had to ask myself, "Can this be the lady I met last September?" Of course! There's the same smile! Let's have a new photo each month! -- Ron, 21:45:02 01/21/04 Wed

[> Betsy you are truly a Goddess! You're just radiant and look at that gorgeous hair too! And that sparkle in your eyes tells me you're very happy and proud of your accomplishment and you should be! I've never had the honor of meeting you in person but I've seen some of the old pics and you look like this pretty butterfly whose come out of her cocoon. Way to go. We are so proud of you. Keira your class(es) sounds really cool. I love knowing about any new alternative therapies. They seem to work better (along with standard medical practices when absolutely needed) and things seem to heal faster at least the ones I've tried. It's refreshing to know that somebody is willing to give them a try. So many docs in the states still think they are just hocus pocus and that they hold no esteem over regular medical practices. Please keep us all posted and I think a discussion on that would be way too cool. -- Lori, 22:29:34 01/21/04 Wed

[> *blush* Thanks, Everyone, for the kind words. This has been a really difficult year (2003, that is...) with three major surgeries. Was it easy??? Not a chance! But was it worth it? I feel like a new woman. I have energy, stamina, drive, and determination. I feel 20 years younger. I notice that I laugh more and my general outlook is sunnier. Has it been easy??? NO NO NO, but for me, this was a great decision and so far the outcome is wonderful. -- Betsy, 21:38:58 01/23/04 Fri
