      Hey Dawny gal, I’m doing better and we are off to Ventura for a couple of days. Hooray, sun and beachside bike riding. I’m so happy I got that sucker, day 98 out, it was a BEAR, as you can read on today’s status. Thanks for thinking of me and I hope your busy new job is going well. xoxoxoxox

   Hello Suz
   I heard your comments on day 98 of Laurie’s show. Very brave of you. As the always awkward dyslexic so much of what you said rang true with my past experiences also. We as they say who travel the less traveled path and hear a different drummer sometimes do have a tough go of it. When I hear someone tell it like it really feels I say how brave you go girl.
   take care

   This is just a checking in post to see if I’m still not getting my comment confirmation emails.

   Sorry for being awol. This blogging course kicked my BLOND butt! I’m now gray and walking with a cane!

   I AM, however, stalled at 27.09 in this podcast. I PROMISE I will be done with all this foolishness this week then life can get back to semi-abnormal. Maybe. HL is home sick this morning. He’s been nauseated and dizzy all night. Not sure what that’s all about… He NEVER stays home sick.

   Have a good day, Laurie.

      Ok GF, let’s see what happens.

      Send my good health vibes to HL and have fun with your blogging course! It’s GREAT you are focusing on you and your needs! We know you’ll be around when you can. xoxoxoxoxox

   After finishing this podcast, I think you should ALWAYS do your rants on the podcast. There was just something about hearing the honesty in your voice that made your words so poignant. And the words and tone of your voice itself made me not feel so alone when I get p*ssed and holler at myself in the same way. Truthfully I found listening to you not just real, but very comforting. That may sound odd, but that’s how I felt!

      Wow, I don’t think I’ve EVER HEARD my rants described as..er..comforting, but I do get it. It’s proof that you are not alone in your pissy feelings, that you have ME for company there. I did that one because the feelings were really getting to my head and I had to let them out. Better on the show than in a bowl if you know what I mean. I’ve felt SO much better after that episode. It did, as expected, lose some more listeners and likes on FB etc. But I have finally gotten to the point, dear Cheryl, where I just don’t care anymore about that. Not in my heart where it counts. I realize, that just like Voice Acting, where you can do the 100% BEST performance, your voice itself just may not be right for what the client is looking for. Of course I make mistakes and whine and fail and do things I learn from on this show, and I have alienated some people from it. But those people were not my true BCs. Better to stay strong to those who are. I need people in my life who get how I am just a regular lady going through life looking to give and get support, not a guru to tell you what to do, or a voice crying out for someone to fix me. So now, when I see these losses I think, well, these BCs are not MY BCs, they belong on another journey and God Bless them, now what’s next for the me and the BCs on THIS path. And I am so very glad, dear Cheryl, that you are always right there as one of them. xoxoxoxoxoxo

         Honestly, I fail to understand the mindset of people who don’t want you to own your feelings. My guess is that in some way it scares them. It’s a shame they feel they have to leave, but for the rest of us — many who have had their own rants on here — there’s something about know this is a safe place to be yourself that makes this community of BC’ers unique and valuable. Personally, I appreciate the depth of honesty that goes on in this forum. I’m TIRED, TIRED, TIRED of hiding my frustration and heartbreak over these stinkin’ food issues. Tired of having to be well behaved around everyone here.

         People who don’t get that and leave are not being honest with themselves, imo. But then I’m VERY opinionated! (wink)

               Toot Toot! 😉 Thanks both of you for helping me to feel ok, and to value those who DO get me. The other fish can go swim in other ponds.

            One of the very excellent attributes you possess my dear! I think part of bravery is knowing yourself and not being afraid to be that person and to express that person. Now, I have to admit, that sometimes my expressing can involve er…middle fingers…etc., but mostly, I’m learning thanks to you and the other BCs that we are ALL human. We all have our great moments and some we wish we could take back. We’re a total package. And if folks don’t like that, then phooey. We will find those who do. New thought for us people pleasers, eh? But the more I think that way, the less rage I have. I had no idea what a volcano I had buried inside until this year of non-dieting. Interesting….

               Well I hope you don’t let that volcano fizzle out entirely. That’s not healthy, either. Remember what Friedrich Nietzsche said: One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. (Grin)
