Thank you so much for reaching out... I was originally planning to go to SSH in late March to fit in with my work schedule, but this morning I woke up and decided "move heaven and earth, and make it happen NOW".

So I told my boss I need to be out for the next two weeks for medical reason (not quite ready to tell him why.. happy to keep it a bit vague) and am going to check into SSH tomorrow night. Would you believe I have a dinner party planned at mine - have friends from overseas in town - so am going to host that and then drive down to Schick!!! I've packed already tonight... can you tell I'm impatient?

I slso had the most incredible experience today... I told one of my best friends about my decision to go to Shick. I needed her to take care of my animals while I'm away, and didn't want to lie about where I was going. We had a coffee and I told her what was going on... was one of the scariest yet most liberating conversations in my life. She was incredibly supportive, had no idea (I really have hidden it well), but was so proud that I'd decided to take care of myself. She also really wants to understand and support me - I was almost in tears in Starbucks when I realized what an incredible support I had in her... that I just didn't know was there. She's also going to read the 'Drink Up' book - I'm giving it to her tomorrow so she can understand what I'm going through. She also wants to come down and see me when I'm in SSH.. honestly, all day my heart was in knots knowing I was going to tell her, but as soon as we'd talked it felt like the weight of the world had lifted.

I am truly blessed... and can't wait until I'm feeling clear and right with myself and the world. You have all been wonderful, I can't say how much I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to help me down the right path.

Please take my thanks Nanette, Tammy and Cathy, and everyone else who has sent me positive energy around this.

take care
Jacqueline
