Hello Misty,

I may not be God, but I'm listening now, and so is He. I'm sorry you feel so sad and forgotten, that's a horrible feeling. I will be praying for you, so know that someone is thinking of you, and cares. A little about me,My name is Jenni. I have 5 children, and I'm engaged to my very best friend, and he's a lot younger than me...I am an artist, finishing up my degree in Fine Art. I paint in oils, and sketch, tattoo, and make jewelry. I am taking up sewing too. I'm not a typical "normal" artist though, my latest painting is of a Muerta. Or as most people call it, a "female sugar skull"...I speak Spanish, so I always think people know what I mean..haha. I'd love to hear from you, and about you. You can say whatever you want, if you need to vent, go ahead, I want you to know that you are NOT forgotten. God hears you, He may not do things as fast as we'd like, or in the way we'd like, but He has a plan , it's just hard believing it when we feel so down. Please take care, I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Jenni

Hello Karyn!
I loved reading your letter. Your honesty and openness is perfect. I can relate on may levels with you, and I too am very honest, and always appreciate it in others, so thank you. Let me introduce myself, My name is Jennifer, but I go by Jenni, I'm sure I have more names from other people, but I don't need to know them!...hahaha :) I have 5 children on earth and 1 in heaven; son 22,daughter 20,son 18, son 11,and a daughter 9 ,and My daughter that passed away. I am engaged to a much younger man, (I'm 40)he's my best friend. I am in college finishing up my degree in art. I paint, sketch, do tattoos, and make jewelry. I am starting to sew too, we'll see how that turns out....wish me luck..haha..I read that you played softball, I did too, I was the shortest on the team, and I'd hit that ball so hard and run as fast as I could, but I never got too far, but I sure thought I was! :)I can't tell what state you're in, I'm in California. I was very glad to read that you have healed. It takes a lot of courage and will to face our demons in life, and the strength you gain , and also give by going through the process is blessing in the chaos. I am constantly evolving still, and it's been quite a journey. I always say now "I'm bulletproof"...because as I'm sure you know, you get pretty darn tough after living in circumstances as you have, and are now, and as I have too. I did a short stay in our good ole' county club...haha...I'd love to hear more about you, and your artwork! I've blabbed enough about me, your probably asleep by now... haha:) Well, I hope all is well in your neck of the woods, and I look forward to hearing from you. Take care :)

Your childhood was unfair. What are your memories of your parents? Your sister? Your older brothers? Were you too young to even remember them or why you were pulled away from them? I am impressed with how self-reliant you became at such a young age. Was summer camp fun? Where did you go? I too went to a YMCA Camp Nan-A-Bo-Sho in Wisconsin.
Your writing is detailed and informative....time to add a few more power words...descriptors of places, feelings and people. Try to learn a new word every day. I could send you the power words they use for college entrance tests. They actually have rock songs that teach these words. Very amusing. You are smart. Keep writing. I enjoy seeing your improvement.

I would like to send you a package but regulations seem to indicate this is not possible. If I sent you funds, would it all be taken for restitution? I would like to get you some new typing supplies. I guess I could mail you 200 sheets of paper. Maybe you could write specifically about what you would be grateful for and how people on the outside could get them to you. I could also send you a good book on writing skills via Amazon. Is this possible?

Your writing walking the track" is special. I am familiar with prison life. Many of your insights on this ritual are new to me. You might want to consider a second draft of this writing. People both inside and outside the prison could find value in it. Keep writing.
