So, I FINALLY got out my first round of newsletters. It was so much more time consuming and difficult than I imagined. I must have revised it 50 times! It felt so good to put them in the mail. (Actually, my mom's boyfriend, Henry did it. So, Thank you Henry!!) I have received only a couple of responses so far, after sending out about 50 letters. It is hard not to be anxious to see results; but it is humbling to write to people whom I have not been in touch with in weeks, months, even years or decades. I have not been in close contact with any of my extended family, including all of my grandparents. I am really hoping that this was the push to help me get back in contact with them. I am not really looking for financial support from most of the people I wrote to. I really just want to surround myself with family and friends that have me in their thoughts and prayers. People that I can talk to about what is going on in my life and be able to be myself.
Happy New Year!
