I’M STEPPING DOWN FROM THE NEWSLETTER MEETING AFTER 6 YEARS! 

as everyone knows-i've been going through alottttttttttttttt of issues the past 6 years in my house.

with my new job path staff and visiting so many doctors i have had to cut some people out of my life. i have also reached the point where I think that I’ve thought of everyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy article i could for the last 6 years and i have enough i'm going through as i'm about to move to my new place I'd like to thank allllllllllllll of the following people for their on- going years of support Cathy, Richard and Sarah-thank you for allowing myself to work with you all - and giving me the inspiration to have more self- awareness in writing my articles

Janice- for 16 years -you not only helped me become a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better advocate than i everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr could have been- you’re not just an advocate -but-my bog sis, as well

Allan- you alwayssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss kept me rolling with your funny wisdom

Ismael -you alwaysssssssssssssssssssssssssss came up with these amazing articles -you are my big bro 4 life

Steven- i helped you get on the advisory board 23 years ago-you also are a big bro to me

Kenneth- you alwayssssssssssssssssss have been an amazing part of many yai groups. You also have been like family to me

Jennifer- or-should i say- madame president of self advocacy (haha) - you've also been a big isis to me.

to Brian and the remainder of the group members you are all winners as self-advocates

I will still be involved in self- advocacy because my new job is at YAI headquarters – so I can still be involved in the general meetings -at the present time i'm the new peace keeper

as boyz 2 men said way back in 1991-"IT'S SO HARDDDDDDDDDDDDDD-TO SAY GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- TO YESTERDAY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
