    Hello Aisse..
    My name is Lisa. I am 38 years old I am 50 years old terrible with technology but I’m learning to utilize it so I can grow at a emotional and spiritual level. I have been struggling with my mental health for many years now. I have gotten tired of waiting on the physicians to give me the help I deserve. As your very inspiring words reminded me. I would like to thank you for sharing your journey with us and helping restore some of my lost hope. I have considered blogging as a way to heal and grow, so I was wondering if you have any suggestions that could either help me get started or point me in the direction I need to be going? I also would like to share my journey with you through emails if you would be willing.
    Sincerely,
    Lisa Newell
