She has taught me many things that are useful for me to know. I have grown in many ways throughout the duration of the relationship.
I have learned that mixing friendships & working relationships is bad business. In the end it always backfires.
I have learned when I need to focus & try to be more serious. Listen to people & take their concerns more seriously, so to make them feel like I truly care.
I have learned that my BLOCKING things out WAYS makes me appear cold & heartless & insensitive at times. When in fact it's just the opposite. I block things that, hurt, scare, or that I think may make me too over emotional. It's a natural defense mechanism that I have utilized since I was a young child.
Never the less... Sometimes things just cannot be seen due to this or that and in this case due to a severe case of not seeing eye to eye.
So I digress please write & cheer me up... I'll post some recent photos here as well, other wise my post would not be complete.

So in the past 2 years I have, lost significant income, lost 2 homes, lost the relationship with my father, lost the job I have had for 11 years due to lack of company support, lost 2 GOOD friends or so I thought they were.
What have I gained... I have gained a knowledge of my self. I have learned that you must always listen to those little voices & that stomach churning feeling you get when something is just not right. I have learned that I am a strong & resilient person who can overcome any obstacle because I am a true believer that Everything Happens for a reason. I have learned that I have a gift that nobody can take away from me and that is my own self worth & confidence. I believe in me. Everything happens for a reason & I have a brand new BETTER job... as well as my Photography is doing better than ever. I am me & I enjoy that all in itself!
I appreciate the lessons life has taught me, I appreciate the help, support & understanding, my mother has given me, she is an amazing mom. I have 2 of the best friends anybody can ask for who have had my back & supported me through everything and backed off if needed as well. I love them for that. Lori Franciose & Christina Brown~ I will always treasure your support! I have the best life Mentor Alice Murphy who I will always treasure. I have the moral support of my sister, the laughs of Emily Manosh. So really when I look at it like that all in all i'm pretty damn rich~
Everything happens for a reason~ you can be at your lowest low... but you have to find a way... call a friend, start a journal, listen to upbeat music, watch funny movies, do things that make you laugh until your face hurts. Then when you can see a glimmer of hope YOU find a piece of strength within you to take one step at a time. Get up brush off all the hurt, anger, sadness, pain, take and do something you love... Find the reason this all happened and make it all worth it.
I am in a good place & things will only get better from now on~ Because I Believe in ME~
And you
~Believe in You~
Thank you
Christy Gagnon
And don't forget to call and book you next photo session~

I just read your blog and it nearly made me cry. I don't know what to say but found out quickly it's hard to edit a response, so I'll try it here. You really have been through so much in the last 2 years and I've never seen you be so open about your feelings and yourself. You really have learned a lot, and grown in many ways. You have always been a friend and a helper to others. I think life taught you to think more of you, too. You have persevered and remained positive through all these challenges, and encouraged others to be positive through theirs. Karma rules. I think you are going to have happiness, success and fortune beyond your wildest dreams. Everything will come together when it is meant to, and when others go through their own time of change and healing as well, like your dad. It took over 30 years for my brother to even acknowledge my existence. As for our/ my friendship with you, I give you equal thanks and return and am greatful to have you as my friend. You have no need to thank me. I'm glad I could be there when my rock needed a rock. I feel like the 3 of us have become sisters. You're both my rock and I hope I'm yours too.

I wondering if you would take some pictures of my new puppy Zoe
Through our trials and tribulations, we only gain inner strength and wisdom. You, my friend have had your share in the past 2 years. I have seen you at your lowest and still been able to shine and put others above yourself. That takes a huge inner strength. I have also watched you grow through this whole process. Things that some people would hold a grudge against, YOU smiled and said "lesson learned." That's what it's really all about!! Being able to stand back and look outside the box at the bigger picture. People can't hurt you unless you choose to be hurt, and you chose NOT to be hurt!! "when one door closes, another one opens." In your case, many new doors have opened, and I've watched you embrace these opportunities with open arms, now your life is FREE to do what you choose, and pursue the passions that you hold most dear. I'm so glad you took the chance on our friendship and we were able to build on that!! You have always been there for me, and it has definitely been my pleasure to be able to be there for you!! You have always had my back as well. Relationships will come and go, the love will be there forever! Even though your relationship of 2 years has come to an end, there's things during that relationship that you will never let go of. That's what memories are all about my friend. That's something that no one can take from you, and best of all, IT'S FREE!! I'm excited to see you move on and take charge of your life!! Lotsa love your way!!!
