Funny how we (think we) need validation from others. I find it most excruciating waiting for feedback from my peers, yet pay more attention to those closest to me probably because, besides the high value I place on their opinions, I believe they have no motive other than they care.
The reality may be that those closest have more motive to cushion their commentary, but that motive would likely be about making me feel good. Hence my close attention… 🙂
Gillian,
This comment surely won’t be the most valuable you’ll ever receive on your blog/I’ll ever submit to any blog, but I wanted to give you some positive feedback. I love the completely natural tone of your writing and am very proud of you!
Thanks SueAnne 🙂
I have to agree with, SueAnne. I love the authenticity of your posts.
You are an amazing woman. Look at what you’ve achieved. And, you have a smart, well mannered son who loves and respects you. Yep, you’re pretty amazing. I’m so blessed to know you.
