I am glad you benefited from this post. It was actually hard to write. It was one of those unplanned ones... a pouring out, an exposing of the heart, being vulnerable, and wondering if anyone would "get it". I am so glad to feel accepted... received... understood.<br /><br />And a special hug to my niece, Becca. <br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-62351656014980108872010-02-26T13:34:43.147-08:002010-02-26T13:34:43.147-08:00Loretta what a beautiful post - I know I can alway...Loretta what a beautiful post - I know I can always depend on you to show me how strong we can be.

It was maybe a little over 2 years ago I quit caring what other people think. It only matters what I think. What I think shines in my eyes. People respond to that.<br /><br />Remember that whatever crap someone says to you, that it's not really about you but their own issues and insecurities. When we're down, we're more vulnerable. <br /><br />Glad to see you learning this lesson. Glad to see you standing up and find your time in the sun. It's a wonderful place to be [even with rejection-love]. So what about the other crap. It doesn't matter. Life is short. Live it. <br /><br />You'd probably kick my ass in a tae-bo duel.

You really have a knack for writing, sharing your feelings, and touching other people's lives in the process.<br /><br />Also, I'm happy you found Ornamental.financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-73183475401194943112010-02-25T17:35:16.785-08:002010-02-25T17:35:16.785-08:00Hey, Loretta!

Just like you--and mercy and grace, too. :)<br /><br />I don't know what was wrong with that commenter. <br /><br />Although people write blogs for many reasons, I think the "Journal Blog" is the truest, most valuable use of this little space. A blog that is deep and thoughtful and real. A blog that is a journal of the writer's thought processes and working outs. <br /><br />Fluff, I can get on TV. Real life is found here.<br /><br />This post spoke to me. It is what I want for my life, too. I would rather be criticized for being too intense or serious or idealistic than to be rewarded for being shallow and sacharin.<br /><br />haha. I'll stop now--but you revved up my engine, girl, you did!<br /><br />Buried treasure distribution, here we come! :D<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-86981249336414711182010-02-25T16:07:28.273-08:002010-02-25T16:07:28.273-08:00Wonderful post!!Wonderful post!!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981934760603648169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-301178608682020322010-02-25T13:47:51.125-08:002010-02-25T13:47:51.125-08:00Loretta,
this is a beautiful post. You remind of ...Loretta,<br />this is a beautiful post. You remind of that when the deep desire to life fully and freely manifests within, it is an amazing gift that may or may not come again. For me to squander it with bad choices and impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment is to deny the gift. Like you - I want to sieze this day, this choice, this life ande to make it, and myself, all that I want them to be. Thanks so much for this.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-6945572802496299772010-02-25T12:55:28.028-08:002010-02-25T12:55:28.028-08:00What an amazing post, it has reached deep inside m...What an amazing post, it has reached deep inside me and shook something up.

I love this ...WOW! Beautifully written as always!<br /><br />I love this line "And you want to live this life you have been given to it's fullest... and at last be able to open your treasure chest and offer up what has been hidden there all the time." <br /><br />I feel the excitement that comes with finding a buried treasure within myself and I can feel and hear it in your words. <br /><br />And in response to the critics - call me spoiled, selfish, etc....but my journey is all about me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711223895089633241noreply@blogger.com
