, it was her time and she had many years of love, she sounds beautiful!

Wednesday I spoke at the Bridge2theFuture 2015 conference. The conference had educators, job counselors and other important people related to the employment industry. It was about transitioning youth with disabilities into the workforce. I had to speak about my experience through one of the work programs called Careerlink. It was through them I got the internship at UCI. The conference was at San Diego and my speech was in the morning. I had been practicing for a couple days for the big event. I woke up early and traveled to San Diego with my job counselor. After the host introduced me, I spoke. At that point I wasn't trying to think, so I didn't have time to be nervous. Before I knew it, I was done. There were a lot of people there, close to 900 people. I was giving the opportunity to introduce the keynote speakers. The rest of the day I attended workshops. All day people came up to me saying I had an amazing speech! Including the keynote speakers! All in all it was an amazing experience.

Knew could do it hon. Congrats.

Thanks!

We have already seen roughly 65-75 inches of snowfall this winter across southern New Hampshire Bleh! Oh Big Congrats!

Congratulations ! What a wonderful experience to have!

Congrats!! Your braver than I

Thanks!

Woah! That's a lot of people indeed o: Congrats! :D

- I'm so sorry to hear about Calypso 😢 hugs It sounds like you did what was best for her though in the end, even if it's hard. more hugs

Thank you!

I'm sorry for your loss :(

that had to be an amazing experience i would have pissed my pants if i would have to talk to that many people at once its bad enough talking to people i just meet face to face let alone 900 people and glad that they congratulated you on your speech too... what a wonderful feeling that must have been

Thank you all. I'm actually feeling much more at peace now that it's done.

Ipsi, congratulations, that's stupendous!

I cannot tell you how sorry I am that you are going through this I can only imagine how horrible it must feel biscuit is 10 years old and I hope he gets a good six years left in here too they are family

hugs Thank you. Calypso was 15, so she did pretty good. Crockett is 13.

- Congrats! I could never do that...would scare me to death. I laughed when I read 's post because that is me haha I do well in very small groups or with one person but large groups...yikes! Good for you for doing so well.

- Glad you are doing well ❤

I love your hA!

yea i couldnt do what did ... i have high anxiety and ptsd i could never have done that at all i get stressed out just leaving the house unless i am with someone i am comfortable with which really sucks but thats life

- thank you! It was inspired by my decision to get some chickens...still don't have the chickens but have the coop and need to recruit help in making it predator proof.

- I become anxious with large groups of people. I feel best at home...I do alright at work but I'm used to most people there but as soon as I'm in a large meeting I'm uncomfortable again. I feel for you with the ptsd. My dad had ptsd from his time in the military (Vietnam) and he had a rough time. Thankfully he was able to retire early and he liked being home.

edit:

- if you are lurking...I am waving. Hope you are feeling better soon...stay cozied up and warm ❤

i wonder aqll the time.and i believe that getting another one to love now will perhaps ease the emotionl burden laer when their time comes..i think each one creates equal amounts of love no less no mpore than the others like my kids...i wish it would then i would get another one nowwww

i simply wish the longing and emptiness for you gets some strength to come your way with your other pup!!!!
