Dear Friends. I feel so sorry for the people of California. It has been said for many years that this will happen and now it is. There may be another quake yet to happen and when it does California may be all gone. I really hope people make it out safe. My thoughts are with them and I hope you'll join me in a small prayer for those who have passed away that they make it home to heaven as fast as possible. Wherever you are please Take Care. Julie Ann

When I was younger I was very angry. I was broken. I was hurt. I was very sensitive. I didn't know what to do with myself. As time passed, I was able to lessen my anger and my sensitivity. All of my emotions were gone. I was numb. I was so tired of being hurt and feeling like I didn't matter. I was tired of being here. I couldn't do it anymore. I really didn't have any friends. I was alone. It was like that all through middle school. Then one-day things started to change for me. I met this girl. She was amazing. She was there for me when I thought that no one else would. Even in a short amount of time, she was able to make me feel again. She became my best friend. I started to feel love, kindness, and hope. I was started to feel again. I have been hurt by people I thought cared about me all my life, but then this girl came into my life and changed everything. My heart started to mend and become whole again. I'm still putting the pieces of my heart back together again, but she sure did help a lot. She was there for me through the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad. I have never had a friend like that. She means a lot to me. SHe helped me be more sensitive, more caring, more patient, and loving. I still have a lot to learn about caring for people, but she has helped a lot. She has helped me be the person I am today...
