Hey guys I'm having a bad day.  I was at my mom's this weekend and my house was broken into. Would just like some words of support.  Thanks.

They took my jewelry.  Nothing really expensive just important to me.  I guess that why it was so bad.  Thanks for your support.

Amy, I'm so sorry this happened to you.  Whether items of value were taken or not, it's still an invasion of your home and haven and you understandably must feel very violated.  I do hope that you contacted the police so that justice can be sought for the perpetrators and perhaps your jewelry returned to you.  As for the thieves, even if they're not caught, karma has a nasty way of biting people in the rearend.  {{hug}}

How horrible!  I help with the police department back home, so I hear about break ins all the time, and it breaks my heart every time I get one.  Even if nothing expensive was taken, it's still heartwrenching.  Like when my purse was stolen.  You get all the cards cancelled, which is the most important thing, but it makes you feel so violated that someone has your stuff. 

Sending lots of good karma your way!

That is horrible! Hope they can catch the person(s) so they can't violate anyone else's home.

I also hope they catch who did this, even if they didn't take much they broke into your house!

Its been 40+ years since I had a similar thing happen.  The worst part for me was the feeling of invasion, and the loss of my  feeling of safety in my own home.  I would discouver missing items months afterward, and each time the feelings of fear and intrusion would return.  Eventually I did recover, but its good you are reaching out and not holding in the feelings.

Blessings for you today.

I know how it feels to have things stolen from your home.  The feeling of invasion is just awful.  So sorry this happened to you.  {{{HUGS}}}
