    Time for me to be honest

    When I first found MWO it was like a safety net thrown out to me during a major sea storm, with huge waves carrying me to frightening places. One minute I reached the sky and the next I was gulping for air whilst under water! (Quite a funny metaphor considering my history!... but I'm afraid that is something I am not prepared to talk about.)

    I have felt incrediably inspired and safe with MWO ~ a safety rope I did not think ever existed. I have seen extra, understanding people through MWO who come from a totally different way of life than me that have befriended me and helped guide me towards a sober life.

    I have no intention of exchanging my friends that exist within my actual life in Kenya/Tanzania; but thru MWO I thought I gained a new set of friends. Friends that could support me in MY true battle. I am very direct in what I say, a product of my life (and before you all smash me down let me say that I have experienced abuse, rape, death of my closest family members several times round, deceit from my older sister, cracked skull, broken nose, black eyes and all that shit) yet I still have my best friends digging for me and most importantly of all I have my destiny. I believe in God

    I 've never wished to piss off anyone here. I thought MWO was my break (not my savior.... but a break) but it has increasingly become obvious that I annoy the hell out of people that use this wonderful place. Every time I say something here it comes out wrong and it pisses you all off. Everytime I read a heart rendering life-story it breaks my heart. I jump out of planes skydiving regularly over East Africa, scuba dive to incrediable depths and sadly have; as a qualified resue diver in East Africa recovered several bodies, and then looked after the Briitish families afterwards with deep affection. I have also climbed East Africa's highest peaks at the most potent, sad times of my life BUT EVERY TIME God has helped me.

    I walked into our local club tonight because the boss an internationall promotion company wanted me to be there. I am like a performing f....ing monkey. The local Kenya that phtographs, climbs, dives and has no fear. I'm encouraged to tell a few bush stories, which I hate doing..... but as the night grows old I tell a few. The lecherous old bastead who has flown from the States gives East Africa a huge grant.

    Meanwhile I pray. Dear God help us in East Africa. Let us be independant and free.

        Elizabeth I always am glad to read your posts. They never make me angry or upset. They are always full of color and texture and buried deep within I can always see a hand reaching out for help and support. If this place has been a life line to you as it has been to so may others then you should visit as often as you can and share your experiences with us.


        God Bless you,

            elizabeth, sounds like you have a hell of a life and a hell of a contribution that you give. i um have never read a post that you did until today. so i look forward to the day you actually make me laugh and you piss me off. i like both emotions. i always think that you don't know who your real friends are til you can piss them off and make up. so type away. i'm looking forward to getting to know you. and besides who likes a milk toast anyway? or are you telling me that when you were drinking you were always kind? so that means when you aren't you should be always kind too? i'm starting to actually confuse myself. lol you don't strike me as the kind of person that is uh shy, nicey nicey uh blah blah. of course, i'm actually not either. more like the elizabeth or bootsy call it as you see it and let the cards fall where they may. i think everyone so far said to you: feel free to be you and keep posting.
            :welcome:

              Elizabeth, I don't know what you could have said here that someone would get angry about but the truth is sometimes that serves our growth as well. Please remember you are here to help yourself, not make everyone here happy.

                        Hi Elizabeth,

                        I don't why you think you may have annoyed anyone, I certainly feel this is one of, or even the only place, where I can truly be myself, hope that we all feel like that and continue to do so. Your day to day life is so completely different to mine and I admire your convictions. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

                            hey there, i have not read any of your posts either so don't know what you are referring to. but i sure do hope you'll give it another chance here because you sound very interesting and maybe we all could learn more about your incredible life and it would be an inspiration to us and hopefully you can continue to feel the support you felt earlier from a group that i really don't think is judgemental even tho' it might have appeared that way.

                            please give it another chance, and call us on it any time you feel you are being misunderstood or harshly judged. it's oh so trite, but honesty is the best policy (as you seem to know so well).
                            Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

                              Elizabeth, you can't please all of the people all of the time. You are a free spirit. As free and independant as you want your beloved East Africa to be. keep posting and keep sharing.I think you are utterly fascinating and I am sure there are numerous others who think the same. You are a treasure my friend!
