I see a lot of myself in you. I think it's much of the same thing though, in commenting, I might put too much of myself out there and so I keep my thoughts to myself, but appreciate very much the insight you give to me through your posts. I guess that's not too fair so will try to comment more often...but no promises!mindyluwhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443030788449986652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-84797805742374184912010-10-11T21:41:12.825-07:002010-10-11T21:41:12.825-07:00I have read your blog for awhile now and appreciat...I have read your blog for awhile now and appreciate your candor and authenticity. I think you speak of many of the struggles that women, wives and mothers experience, especially in the gospel, though not exclusively. Often your thoughts and points stick with me or and I will ponder them for days. I appreciate the thought and effort and voice you put into mothering, gardening, gospel ideals and practically trying to get by. I also appreciate you sharing your struggles. It is one thing to open up about the good stuff, but the deep & painful stuff is something else-this is one of my biggest struggles with church members-so many put on that they have the perfect marriage, perfect kids, perfect life. None of that I can relate to. Even though I don't know you, I care about you! Your blog is a source of inspiration and strength in my life and I hope you know that it is appreciated even when people don't make comments (this is my first).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-9479249726478763872010-10-11T06:17:16.214-07:002010-10-11T06:17:16.214-07:00Oh, how I understand.

Sometimes I wish I could.<br /><br />I need a counselor and have known that for a long time. I keep putting it off because I've been too busy. Yeah, I'm smart. :PAnnette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-83497114457993399502010-10-10T21:27:58.320-07:002010-10-10T21:27:58.320-07:00Ask God.

It's hard for me to understand how you can't see how wonderful you ALREADY are... I know nobody is perfect and we can all improve and become better people. But you are such an example to so many. I mean, you are a wonderful YM teacher, piano teacher, student, amazing mom, great baker, funny, hard working, giving, beautiful inside and out. I always learn from you and have been inspired by your example in so many ways. I can go on, but I have to go watch some kids :). I love you and I hope you can love yourself the way you deserve!Alejandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841797206229393715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-73661563519714907802010-10-10T10:33:04.717-07:002010-10-10T10:33:04.717-07:00appropriate that the music playing was "Say W...appropriate that the music playing was "Say What you need to say"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-55035004155969675522010-10-09T22:07:59.289-07:002010-10-09T22:07:59.289-07:00Jen, if you sit quietly for just a minute or two e...Jen, if you sit quietly for just a minute or two each morning and say, "I want to truly know myself, good and bad," things will start popping up, insights into yourself. <br /><br />You may wonder how I know this.<br /><br /><br />Love,<br />MomYogaNanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578904073378923196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-78817966460641969922010-10-09T20:42:12.491-07:002010-10-09T20:42:12.491-07:00I love you no matter what.

It's okay to be who you are. I actually ...Yes! It's okay to be who you are. I actually force myself to post unflattering stuff about myself sometimes so that I can get used to feeling comfortable with the 'uncomfortable' feeling. And other times I censor myself too for fear of offending. <br /><br />And the comment thing isn't just you- I used to get lots of comments but notice that as my blog hits increased, comments decreased. It's not personal (I think), so many of my original 'blog friends' don't blog anymore and I think I'm kinda boring these days.<br /><br />I'm also a bit of a mess right now. I might have to try your assignment for myself. I have a real issue with external self-esteem and needing outside validation.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300459671364768442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-1115057368724227072010-10-09T10:54:11.720-07:002010-10-09T10:54:11.720-07:00I think we all too often just go about our lives a...I think we all too often just go about our lives and think we are what others say and rarely think about who am I really. That would be so hard to do. Good to do, but hard. Good luck.<br />And I love that you are truthful and write things that are hard. It's refreshing to read a blog that's real.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676577604632155345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-23462309551907259002010-10-09T09:15:04.700-07:002010-10-09T09:15:04.700-07:00just for the record...I love your blog and I think...just for the record...I love your blog and I think you are an amazing woman! No, you don't know me... I don't even remember how I first found your blog, but you are on my google reader list so I read everything you post - I just never comment cause I've been content to STALK... (it feels kinda weird to comment on a "strangers" blog.. and yet, for being a stranger, I feel like I know you and your kids pretty dang well.)Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696320304738158460noreply@blogger.com
