More about Julie:"Hi, Everyone! Wow, a new profile, what WILL Facebook think of next?
I'm a woman who has been through a lot and finally come into my own... well maybe. : ) I was the reflected light of those I was involved with for a long time, but now it's my turn to shine, so yeah, I'm working on that. Writing saved my life and I'm a writer working on several projects. I'm a mother away from my children. I miss them but I know here is where I need to be right now. I'm in a complicated, sometimes difficult, but extremely love-filled relationship with the most amazing person I've ever met. I will continue to look for answers and try to grow into the best person I can be.".
