You are so perfect and beautiful as you are. I hope this difficult time is passing, as they all will. Thank you for mentioning me. I think my blog is hard for people sometimes because I share some of the darkness I experience. But in my heart I hope it might help someone. And there will always be the light at the end. I know it.

Although I read each one when it was posted (and treasured each one), I read them again all at once today to give myself an incredible birthday gift---which indeed it was! You all are amazing, and have the ability to affirm me so much. I will never be able to express how much your comments mean to me.

Your wise words and yes you do have humor sometimes.<br /><br />I think Patti is great to as are all the other people you mentioned. I think that when there are people we are drawn to; those who we really resonate with we naturally want to be like them. I think we manage to pull some of their qualities out and incorporate those into our lives.Kate Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369818854597534304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-81169100875539079822009-08-17T04:20:03.089-07:002009-08-17T04:20:03.089-07:00oh - I've missed you, too.

I'm so glad you chose to say these things. <br /><br />And in case you think I always feel like I have "multiple successes" and that I never feel like a complete and utter failure and wish that I were someone else, that would be dead wrong. I have heaps of self doubt and fall into the comparison trap ALL the time.

My fantasy isn't so much to be her but to be her assistant ! ;) I kind of feel like I am that from afar - passing on the great things that she has helped me learn to others and praising her to high Heaven whenever possible. What I like about the role of assistant is that I get to still completely be myself - this woman I am coming Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-67327272757448117452009-08-16T17:56:31.966-07:002009-08-16T17:56:31.966-07:00My offering of wisdom for the day :)

It's nice to talk about the pretty things in life, but we all feel ugly at times and as Chani says, this is more like the truth.<br /><br />Love means accepting that we are, each of us, perfect and imperfect pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293378341445115577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-76599546572672247622009-08-16T16:47:32.055-07:002009-08-16T16:47:32.055-07:00Oh, and I'd like to be Patty Digh sometimes, t...Oh, and I'd like to be Patty Digh sometimes, too! <br /><br />:)<br /><br /><br /><br />~*thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-44692603405036780252009-08-16T16:46:41.232-07:002009-08-16T16:46:41.232-07:00You just gave me a really good idea!

You mention how so many of us are afraid to be too authentic, too real, and then of course there are people like me who are *too real* in an occasionally obnoxious way.
