Hi Becky,
  You definetely deserve this honor.  Most people that are hospitaized with a mental condition resign themselves to doing whatever they are told.  I chose not to be a Zombie, to the chargrin of my doctor at a Veteran's hospital.  I was in the Army National Guard at the time.  He yelled at me and told me that I had to do what I was told.  I handed him the three bottles of pills, Valium and a couple of others and explained to him that one counteracted the other and the third one had nothing whatsoever to do with my condition.  If he wanted me to take them he would have to explain to the medical board why he felt that making me a Zombie had anything to do with helping me get better.  He was shocked that I had the ability to understand my condition {Manic Depressive with Suicidal Tendencies.}  I further explained to him that the longer he kept me in a vegitative state, the longer he got paid.  I was released with a clean bill of health about two weeks later.  Valium and other pills are sythetically produced and serve no other function rather than making the Pharmacutical {Not spelled right} Companies richer and fatter.  You will find very few skinny pill pushers.  Natures Bounty produces more healthy products then Chemicals ever will. BRAVO to you and others that have the courage to say "No!!  I'll do it my way." 

GOD BLESS YOU

MIKE

Becky, you surely deserve to be called a Woman of Courage.  I hope that I shall have the honour of meeting you in the future here at ALP.

Hi Joyce!

Carla made a magnificent nomination.  The beauty of Becky's message is that she uses this experience, and it is quite a horrendous one, to encourage others in the same position.   She is not bitter, nor does she feel cheated in any way.

Now, this is a Woman of Courage.

Hugs,

Luella

Hello Larry,

Thank you for your words of encouragement for Becky.  She certainly has gone through what seems to be the impossible.  Yet, the light at the end of the tunnel appeared.  And she survived a what ended being a wonderful growing experience.

Hugs,

Luella

Oh Phil!

And I have greatly admired you, more as of recently, but after this message!

Thank you for your most loving and beautiful message to Becky.  And thank you for that most beautiful inspirational poem.

You have no idea how you have blessed my heart.

Hugs,

Luella
