Hi Everyone …. it’s AB.
So … some of you may be wondering why Natalie didn’t post a blog last night. I won’t get into details as it’s her story to tell, but I didn’t want everyone to worry. Very simply: she overdosed yesterday morning and was taken to the hospital …. where she’ll hopefully stay until she gets into Homewood. Mental health is a tough battle to fight … but she’s trying; sometimes the load is just too heavy to carry when you don’t have the skills to manage.
Stay tuned … she’ll be back – she’s a fighter!
P.S … she doesn’t have her phone (or laptop) so if you leave her a message and you don’t hear back that’s why. In the meantime, if there’s something you want me to pass along … just send me an email and I’ll make sure she gets the message 🙂 manda07@rogers.com

Thanks AB.
Nat … I think the best way I can think of this is like a brick house. It wasn’t built overnight, it was built brick by brick over a long period of time, and it went up without you realizing it.
In order to move forward, you take down a brick, one by one on some days. Other days, you find a sledge hammer and can obliterate walls. And on others, some bugger has come along and put some bricks back.
Do what you need to do to in the time you decide works best to take the bricks down. Use the sledge hammer when you can find it. If some bricks get out back, then they’ll get removed at some point.
In the meantime, we’ll wait. Write when it’s best for you. It’ll be a worthwhile read, I’m sure. It always is 🙂
Be gentle with your soul until then…
