Hi!

Your space is interesting and inspirational I have a very different life-style but I like to read and yours is good. I want to recommend you a book Man's search of meaning by Viktor Frankl.  I think you'll like it by the way you are.

You are amazing and inspiring.  I read your ABC's - Z and they helped me so very much.  Your work is a treasure chest of hope to me.

Hi there, I've been reading your blog just today. It's an interesting mix of inspiration and gut wrenching insecurity and uncertainty. In the past I'd always been in and out of depressions, total confidence to loss of confidence in a breath of time, self hate, confusion about my life and what it might all mean ... even now, I might have a few hours where I sort of slide off the path, but it never lasts for long these days and it's at a much more 'normal' level. One day, about three years ago I kind of had this holistic vision of how I was really undermining my own life, ambitions and dreams with this constant up and down thing. I was horrified at what I saw and suddenly realised what I'd been been doing to myself through worrying about what other people thought, or might have thought, by losing my positive train of thought etc etc ... I decided from that moment of revelation that from then on I would just do what felt right and not analyse it so much. Stop worrying whether there was a reason for my existence or not, if I had a purpose or not, what my life might mean to other people and in general, and just started to relax about the whole thing. Things have been much better since then. I'm much happier, get depressed less often, hardly ever lose confidence or stride. My mind fixed itself somehow. I don't think I was any different from most people in all this confusion. I think it's a very natural response to being thrown into a world where we understand so little about it, oursleves and the motives of others. At some point though, my brain had had enough stress from all this and just thought, "that's it ... I'm going to fix this once and for all!" It did. I'm comfortable with myself, if I think people are laughing at me, or looking down on me, I just think let them laugh, they don't really know me, and maybe I don't want to know them if that's heir attitude. I kind of feel sorry for them because they're limiting themselves from meeting and getting to know a fairly decent, interesting, kind, friendly (and all the other good things I can think of) human being ... ie .. ME! Anyway, there's probably a lot more to say but it's a guest book afterall, not a novel writing contest. Glad I found your space. I'll visit again, for sure.

 

Best wishes to you,

Hey, I liked the story about your son and his XBox...yeah, kids are like that. It was a sweet story!

 

okay I know this is overkill since I've already commented elsewhere, but I'm really happy to come across your space here and wanted to sign the guest-book anyway!

 

all the best!

I, too, am new at this blogging.  I'm the single mom who just signed your guest book, but couldn't figure out how to put my name in the name section. My name is Bonnie;  email:  angelicatta7@yahoo.com

Hi Signa. I'm single mom, so your writings got my attention.  My husband left a year and a half ago.  I've had to get back into the work-world after doing homeschool for many years.  What a challenge!  Now I'm in the process of going back to school; will be taking a computer class to update my computer skills which will help me compete better in the job market.  I like your idea about setting up a scholarship fund.  I know a lady who likes to help women get started in businesses of their own.  She may have some ideas for you about this scholarship fund.  She has a scholarship fund, too.  Thank you for your blog.  I'd love to hear from you. 

I'm enjoying reading your candid thoughts and about your conversations and talks of "life." You're enriching your daughter's life more than she knows right now, but she'd be worse off with a Mom who didn't care or take the time to teach her anything at all...you can tell her I told you to remind her of that! I know what it feels like to have a father who doesn't (in my case) love, and an alcoholic, though I didn't realize it until years later. I thank God I have a mother who loved me and showed me what it means to look after my own spirit, in that way I was protected from my father's dependency. What you're doing for your daughter now in sharing and still being direct with her, WILL affect her, especially later on when she's a mother too...she'll pass along your self-disciplines, independence and self-respect. A Mom can never lose that! A mother's joy is the sacrifices she makes and is the freedom and happiness in her kids. It doesn't get better than that!

I'm happy I stopped in, You're just what my doctor ordered.

Just breezing by to say hello and to invite you to check out my blog!!! Yours is cool, hope to hear from you. :):):)

 

Paws out!!!
