How Can Associated Content Be a Support System to You?

As some of you may know I have been experiencing difficulties in my life lately. As a result I needed to escape to normal life I have to deal with and occupy myself to keep the stress levels to a minimum. Going to church and engaging in conversation are outlets for me that help me very well. While these two things do help in a major way, writing and participating with the people here at Associated Content is a great way to relieve stress also. How do I know this you may ask? Well, I began to slacking lately and not writing and publishing as much as I used to. I also stopped supporting the people who count on the daily PVs we support each other with to make their goals. I had to let my AC family know what was going on and not just be a no show. I went into the forums where there are many people providing and obtaining information. Some are even there just conversing amongst each other. It reminds you of a friendly community of people. I decided to post something titled "Hey AC family" and explained my situation as follows: "Hey Guys. Sorry I haven't been on as of late and I haven't been commenting on my subscribers work. I apologize but I am just going through so much right now and I will be back on my feet soon. Please bare with me and say a prayer for me if you can. Thanks."

I am a private person but I had to let everybody know what was going on. Once people began to respond to me it brought comfort to me. I want to thank Marie Anne St. Jean who started it out making my burden a bit lighter. I also want to thank Dotchi Latham and Marilisa Kinney Sachteleben who responded immediately also. I also want to thank those who took the time to read my article about my stress (www.associatedcontent.com/article/2758171/stress_can_it_really_take_a_dangerous.html) and give words of encouragement because they do make a difference. I want to thank Kay Whittenhauer, Sandy James, Memmay Moore, Wendy Dawn, Tara Darity, Catherine Spencer., and Michele Starkey. These are key people here at AC and in trying times you see who is on your side. I love my family here at Associated Content and I am thankful that it didn't take long for someone to show me they cared. People wonder why I always mention people when something happens. I do this because you must let people know when they do something that impacts you in a great way. I thank you all for sticking by me when I needed you. I won't forget this. Thanks again.
