Over the weekend, a message was left on my blog that was provocative, to say the least….
The comment was up for only a few hours so I doubt if many people were able to read this particular post. But after reading that post, I decided not to share the full contents or the person’s name because part of the comment was very personal and reached beyond the scope I have envisioned for this Blog.

It was not an attack. It was not vicious. It was simply not appropriate to the scope of this Blog.

Again, let me state unequivocally that if you are receiving an Email with a link to my blog and you do not wish to continue to receive them, please just drop me an Email and I will gladly remove you from the Email list. I constructed that list from Emails I have received and exchanged over the years. Please do not feel obligated to read my Blog. That was never my intent and I apologize if anyone feels offended in any way.

1. Sorry to hear this happened to you. I'm glad you are blogging your journey.
Don't let the 1% of people who are very weird and creepy shake your tree.

5. I can deal with it but the personal comments were over the top...

2. I didn't see it...
And I'm really surprised that anyone would post such a thing on your blog.

They just could not help themselves, I would guess...

And they wanted everyone to know how they felt.

I'm glad you removed it. I, for one, have no desire to see anything that would distract from understanding and appreciating just what you're going through.

3. Ugh. This is the bullshit Barbara Ehrenreich wrote about in "Brightsided"
This incessant promotion of "positive thinking" and "spirituality" and assorted forms of woo as the cure to every bad situation.

I, for one, appreciate your blog and thank you for doing it. :hug:
