Searcher,

You are exhausted because you are grieving. Grief is like that. In some ways I would guess that you can't imagine having one more thing go wrong. So rest. Grieve, heal. Write in your journal, if that helps you. Get in touch with the inner most part of your heart, the part where God lives, whatever you perceive God to be. When and if it is time to write your story, you will know. I do hope you do write. You are gifted in that area. Who knows, maybe by the time you are ready to publish I will be totally famous from my writing and can help you get your stuff published.

Love and healing to you,

Vi

Searcher, we've just pointed out some flaws in the publishing world but the good far outweighs the negative. Vi can tell you, just like me, when you hold that finished product in your hands it's a validation that can't be explained. All of the hard work, stress, doubts, opening of old wounds and the labor of love is suddenly something that can be used to help others understand and heal.

Vi,

You are exactly right. That is precisely how I feel. Just can't stand the thought that one more teeny weeny thing could go wrong.

I WILL write in my journal and I'll be anxiously awaiting the day when you are so famous that you can be my mentor (you already are tho')

Dianne, I'm feeling better this morning, and a little more like facing the world. And I'll believe you two, that it's all worth it .

Ok Grinch. I'll ignore you. (like that's possible [Big Grin] )

Also, you might want to read Anne Lamott's book, bird by bird. She shares honest, warm and funny instruction on writing and life. Have you read any of her books?

Searcher...
You write with you heart, within that heart lies all you need to share with the world...
you know the story you need to share, and you will, it's a part of you thats not willing to be passed over.

You are going to reach all the souls, you need to reach with your love and compassion.

Never give up on your dreams.

You know what I think we need to give everyone for this holiday season, no matter which one(s) they are celebrating? Compassion. Let's wrap it in boxes and send it out to everyone, those we know and those we don't know. What do you say? Do you have any ideas how we can accomplish this?
