It would be so cool to have a "Poster Child" for MLC like:  Hillary Clinton ( well maybe ) but definitely Tipper Gore, Elizabeth Edwards or Sandra Bullock to push the issue out there and get the backing that MLC should have.   I'm not sure if they actually are LBS, but they kinda fit the scenario.  Maybe we (collectively speaking) could approach them!  Their  new fan club of supporters so to speak.  8) 8) 8)  They would probably love the term affairing down and the idea of the MCLer  projecting blame onto the  LBS.   That knowledge has helped me, more than I can ever say :'(   Thanks to this wonderful WEBSITE.  I can envision Rollercoaster answering Oprah's questions, with one of the above publicly recognized LBSs and pushing her new book, The Hero's Spouse.  It seems like it would be a cause that would be dear to them and their children.  They would have more reasons to be supportive because of their personal interest in MLC.  I do believe in Miracles!  I know I would watch the show and so would allot of others and buy the book..............

I just submitted my story to the Tony Robbins Breakthrough series at Huffington post.

But how do I find it now?
This was my first time at Huffington Post and I don't know how to use it.

It is under Rollercoasterider.

The You-Tube video says that Tony will review this week's stories tomorrow--and I don't even know how to see mine!!! DOes anyone know how? ARGH

And I was going to post part of that story here first...but I need to make my lunch and get going...rush rush rush.

So I'm in quite a panic now!

But I think people can vote on the stories and I would like to link what I posted here. If anyone knows how to find it...or could I have messed up. It told me the first image was too small and I had to read it. I did not receive a confirmation for the submission.

I can't even figure out how to read the submitted stories. Are those the comments? Or are the comments, comments that are to the submitted stories. ARGH...I don't like feeling so confused and backwards!

The story is up!

You can read it here...and there is a picture of me and Sweetheart!
I think people can vote for the best story.
All that I saw were pictures with text except the first or second which was a video. Everyone of you should check out that one, it is the otherside of our story--the betraying spouse who returned. He returned within a few months rather than years, but it is still a beautiful and inspiring story.

This link should take you to it. Scroll down and my story should be the one at this specific link.

Right now there are only 8 stories and I think there are actually 7 because the first may be Tony Robbins video introduction--that was why I coldn't find the stories since I thought they would be in a list that did not start with his own video. And there are only 35 comments over the last several days...so not a lot of activity.

I will put this post on facebook too...

Awesome article! I rated it a 10, of course.


The comments are weird and don't seem to relate to anything...makes me feel like I missed something somewhere  :o

It says my story is ranked #2 right now and my average rating is 8.4 out of 10!

I think the comments don't seem to make a lot of sense because they don't seem to be referring to a specific story, or when they are they are not linked directly to taht story but all togethere. Many seem to simply be people's negative opinions about Tony Robbins. There have not been any comments put up since I posted my story.

I sent an email out to family and people from the other forum from my early and even later days their--basically to people I haven't talked to in a few years! Somenames I didn't recognize, but they looked like poster names! I posted on facebook. I don't know when voting ends, but I think maybe I will add a note to the Newsletter that goes out Sataurday morning. But so many people don't open it until Monday and I think voting will be over by then. But I'm workin' it.
