At long last I'm coming aboard and catching up.
My name is Anita Maher-Lewis. I live in Ames, IA. Some of you know that as you've mailed me blocks and are patiently waiting for me to send them back! I'm working on them, I promise. :)
I apologize for being absent for so long. I could tell you that I've been buried under 3 feet of snow that is just now starting to melt...which would be the truth. However it just has been a hard three months. My father died suddenly late last year and then my mom got really sick. Probably as a result of being so sick, she had a couple of small strokes (TIAs). She is doing better now. But unfortunately they both live(d) in Phoenix (with separate partners) so dealing with all of this has been very strenuous and stressful as you can imagine. I'm coming up for air now and so grateful that spring is around the corner.
Thank you for your patience and I'm excited to be here.

Great to hear from you Anita! We all understand tough times, I'm sure.
Anita, take care of you and your family--we'll still be here! Don't think of this as more obligations--think of it as being cheaper than therapy!
Anita, no worries! Like Meg, said, cheaper than therapy. We can be your support group
Absolutely. This is 12 months of therapy. Lean on us anytime- no stress allowed. Speaking of stress I just realized that I have April and it will "bee" here before I know it. EEK! Tracy
Hi Anita - thanks for touching base, take care of you and your family first! I hope things continue on the upswing for your mom and your life can return to a more peaceful time. Take care!
