The arch of emotion

First, I would like to thank you all for the enormous amount of support you gave me yesterday.  I learned so much from all of you.  I am in the process of sending out some personal notes thanking you all individually but, please forgive me if I include a couple of excerpts from some of the emails I have sent already that explain the overwhelming arch of how I feel:

{I had an interesting conversation with a relative stranger over the break about my blog and honesty. A very wise gentleman who had never seen my blog. He said that the reason people blog is because they have somthing to say, (and I should just say it, be myself, tell the truth.) My yoga instrutor tells me I have a block in my throat chakra and need to speak my truth because it may be causing so many of my throat illnesses.}


{ I cried a lot yesterday, but genuine acts of kindness and encouragement brought of a completely different well of tears!  I couldn't believe a relative stranger wanted to help me.  The generosity, thoughtfulness, the action of your gesture, just blew me away!  I am so silly.  I never thought that being a good friend meant opening yourself up to allowing help.  do you get that?  I always thought I had to be strong to help my friends but never let them in on my struggles to allow them to help me.  I have NEVER been moved and awed this way before, from all of the support yesterday and the and the hearts of people who don't owe me the time of day! I can't believe after 30 years I am just barely discovering this.}


{I am still a little in awe at everything that happened.  I have never received encouragement and support like that (I have never asked before choosing to trudge on through it alone, silent and proud, didn't really work out too well) I never realized that ASKING for help, or opening my self up for it was the best thing I could ever do.}


I have some appointments today and was away from my computer for most of yesterday but I want each of you to know how much your comments helped me in more ways than you could ever know. 


As a very small side note, I would like to call attention to this miracle skirt I found at the Salvation Army!!  It was a below the knee pencil skirt in not a very flattering width so I hemmed that little lovely and now I think it is my most favoritest skirt EVER!!  Seeing the pictures I will probably trade the leopard belt for a braided leather one before I leave, BUT I am so incredibly stoked about this!  I feel much more HARDY today (if that makes sense) and ready to take things head on!  I feel like I have more support than the Eiffel Tower! All thanks to you!
