Thank you Nikki...I think I'd better pm you my response. :grouphug:

I really appreciate your support and encouragement.

Nikki, Baton Rouge Louisiana has a first responder program and I was fortunate to hear their leader at the seminar I attended three yrs ago.

And I know that Madison WI can provide a first responder if one is requested. You might do an online seach...I can't remember the name of his program. ~sigh...CRS much of the time. :hug:

I tried to visit the home office of ASPS on Wall st when we were in NY recently....couldn't get past the gentleman at the reception desk. "Do you have an appt? Who do you want to see? I can't let you up w/out an appt. and no you can't use my phone." LOL

I just wanted to tell someone how helpful the instructor manual is and maybe pick someones brain. Really ended up feeling like a hick from Indiana. *grin

"hick from Indiana" LOL Been there done that, but was a hick from New Hampshire;)

I did get your PM, and sent you a reply. I will reiterate here, I DO believe you would be a fantastic leader. You have been a huge help to me personally. HUGE! If we lived closer you can bet your booty I would attend a meeting led by you!:hug: You are the very model of a survivor, you bring hope that I too can survive. I am sure every survivor needs this assurance as much as I do. Oh by the way, what type of class does your husband teach?

You go Girl !!! :D
