Beautiful and talented Miss Ashley died after just two years of battling her eating disorder! How terrifying........she had everything to live for and now we have lost this precious young woman to disease that threatens so many lives....yet can be stopped....

What do y'all think about this? My heart is broken for Ashley and her family...

Jeanette- I got your message but it was hard to understand(phone static)...Did I understand correctly that you have an appt coming up with the wonderful Dr. C?
Thanks for posting on the blog regularly, you bring a tremendous amount of knowledge and insight to the blog....
Amanda - yeah! You posted! Thanks for contributing! I am so sad about the loss of this young lady too....maybe we can add some meaning to her death by learning from it and choosing differnt paths? I have a picture of another young woman who died of anorexia/bulimia up in my home office, it has inspired me greatly to be a catalyst for change and healing for myself and others....just a thought.....
love, j.
