I reckon you're awesome :) Thanks for your honesty, and thanks for your obvious self awareness and reflection, and thank you for being so open to difference, and thank you for your approach of friendly debate, and thanks for being concerned about the effect of religious fundamentalism on children. Maybe sometime I should write a post about that, because after all this time and water under the bridge........I'm profoundly greatful for it. For my religious upbringing that is, and all the places I had to go to understand and transform it, into who I really was. In fact there isn't a single thing I'd change about any of it. Because all of it brought me to here, and I wouldn't want to be anyone else for quids. <br /><br />And most of all, thank you especially for your love and best wishes, and may it return to you in a thousand delightful ways.Helena Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442132139130785495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-17999276373857249762013-03-18T08:58:00.761+10:002013-03-18T08:58:00.761+10:00Trisha Springfield I think you're the bees kne...Trisha Springfield I think you're the bees knees!!! And I love that you love that I'm nuts :) And essentially what you describe here, is a wish that I have for the world.....to be able to appreciate each other for our diversity, and celebrate our differences, and learn from each other, no matter how apparently opposite we are. <br /><br />I also love lurkers. Especially when they come in from the fringe to let me know. I even more appreciate being able to notice when lurkers decide to unlurk. Sometimes even the longest time lurker can stay hidden for ages, only to have something expressed that pulls on their heart strings enough to step out. And I consider those moments and when they occur to be quite exquisite.<br /><br />Thank you so much for leaving so much room in your scope of happy and loved and alive, that there's room for us! And thanks for being another person to say I have huge balls. I'm liking that compliment...it feels kinda apt :)<br /><br />Thanks for unlurking and thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot to me!Helena Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442132139130785495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-1015650744563169722013-03-18T07:54:02.046+10:002013-03-18T07:54:02.046+10:00Thank you Jillian, what a beautiful comment. I lo...Thank you Jillian, what a beautiful comment. I love that my writing brings you such gifts! And I've been so fortunate to come across so many many different people in my time.......I just love humans so much! Especially the unique and quirky, and the ones that seem very 'normal', but have a whole personality or passion or secret life going on. I've learnt (finally) to never judge ANYONE, cause the surprises I get from the most unexpected people, always remind me that there is no end to the countless creative expressions of the human spirit.Helena Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442132139130785495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-65229636032306466762013-03-18T07:49:24.973+10:002013-03-18T07:49:24.973+10:00I love you NewAgeGranny!

I especially love that last line, and I'm wrapped that you get a laugh out of it as well. I guess that's all I really want in the world. I'm not trying to tell anyone to do anything at all, except to maybe be who they really are, cause it's a hard and tricky path sometimes but so worth the adventure!

Anyway, I really like this post. I think it is well-written and clearly describes some of the features of the snarking world. I reckon most people are either unaware or scared of the immense personal power we all have. You're right, people are taking notice of you. I think the online world is amazing, it contains good and bad, and for me I try to use it for good (I.e being friendly and still feeling free to disagree passionately with people sometimes). As you say, not everyone is going to agree with everyone else's beliefs! I am someone who is concerned about the effect of religious fundamentalism on children, so I find I am often reading people's views on that. Expressing and owning strong views without belittling others for fun is a skill that can be learnt I hope. Anyway, you have my love and best wishes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-6802986419573110552013-02-02T12:48:14.894+10:002013-02-02T12:48:14.894+10:00I am a longtime lurker of your blog.

You have huge balls and you live by your own rules. You dontr care what anyone says. You live your life and your family is happy and loved and your home is warm, kind, and safe.<br /><br />I do not aspire to raise my children as you raise yours, nor am I able to live the way that you do. But your carefree, reckless abandon for thoughts like mine is why I come here to read - to escape into your fantasy life. Which isnt a fantasy for you - its real. I think theres real beauty in that.<br /><br />Dont give in to haters.

But I think you matter and your family matters and it is sad that people in this world think that you have less right than others to matter. I am grateful for your insights and take on the world as I know are many others and while you don't need to me validate you, I am happy to know that when I need to shift my thinking, there is someone there with a new, fresh and hilariously intellegent perspective.Yeshehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577630682656676964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887847079702315563.post-77284582583233228042013-01-19T18:09:15.061+10:002013-01-19T18:09:15.061+10:00Beautiful Kate, I don't reckon I could stop if...Beautiful Kate, I don't reckon I could stop if I tried. Been trying to voice my voice a whole lifetime, and I'm starting to feel as if some folk are really hearing me! <br /><br />And if they hear me and I have an impact, no matter how small, then it's even better. I've believed for so long that everything is connected and one, and been practicing it even if I didn't believe it, and writing stuff that a whole bunch of other people get, and that they feel like they could write themselves, just makes that whole concept more tangible. <br /><br />Thank you so much for 'getting' me, and for letting me know.
