Raise a cup to Murph the Saint of all the Garterners everywhere. Love, Theresa

Thank you for making me laugh again. Love, Theresa

I'm back now though I've no poetry to add My soul was empty And far to sad I am happy to see a few friends still here. Maybe I can get back into poetry again now that things are nearing normalcy. Love, Theresa

Growing up traveling I became inurre(sp) to the every day violence of gangs and terrorists (who in my mind are no different than gangs only on a broader/bigger scale).War and threat of war was a norm. It wasn't until I had to physically defend myself and my children from a maniac (to whom I happened to be married to at the time) that I learned fear. All of my growing up life I was trained in self-defense never thinking I'd actually have to use it, much less against a man who claimed to love, honor, and cherish me. As a result I have been living with a fear of relationships and have not, and do not have a man in my life. I had a hard time realizing what I was doing to myself in allowing that fear to take over my life. I am now doing the things that I need to do to get my "self" back. Love, Theresa

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, your family and church. Love, Theresa Clark-Carraher

Murph since you're still living I have a question- What way would you suggest we celebrate St. Murph's Day? Love, Theresa

Anyything by Orson Scott Card "Handmaid's Tale" A Novel by Margaret Atwood Another book by a female author Sheri Tepper, "The Gate to Women's Country".

"The Gate to Women's Country" By a woman whos last name is Tepper I don't remember her first name. It's fantasy fiction, strange, off beat, a kind of what if book. Theresa
