Hello Everyone,
The 29th birthday was amazing for me, but not in a traditional sense. I had to be hospitalized. Before you start to panic, let me tell you that this has been a blessing in disguise. (Plus, I'm on the mend and no serious wound was received.)


I was up for one week without sleep and had to be in the hospital for one week as a result. I was not taking any illicit drug, no excess caffeine. It was pure Genevieve brand get up and go, go, go.


I'm sure you've been around someone who is loopy after going one night without sleep. (Anyone with children can relate to that, or with studying for finals, partying with friends, etc.) Well, take that feeling, multiply it by one cup of coffee each day and Genevieve's own brand of positivity and good vibes and there you are. Oh and then multiply that by 7 days. Yeah, it was a wild ride.

I'm home now and loving the fact that this event has brought me closer to my family and Kyle and his family. I realized that I was stuffing away fears, feelings and emotions. (Obviously, it's really stressful to be unmarried, shagging in the backyard while still maintaining a relationship with the preacher father and school teacher mother... Doesn't that seem like drama in the making?? Well, it was.)

Anyway, that's what I did for my birthday. Hospitalized. And thank goodness I did. I'm even more open with my feelings and emotions. So the next time we talk, it's going to be with a "new" Genevieve. She might seem different and I hope it's in a good way. I've learned so much about myself and what I want and don't want. I'm not going to get married and I'm not going to have kids. Of course, that's my answer today. And tomorrow I might change my mind. ;) And that is perfectly acceptable. I'm finally at peace with who I am and, oh my, does it feel good!!!

Love you all,
Genevieve

PS - Part of my recovery program is no cell phone for at least a week. So if you want to call me, sorry, you can't! ;) But you can email me or message me online.
