Dear Kristen,

I haven’t been here in forever and am now glad that I did. Thanks for this post as it does show that we’re all sort of in the same boat. I started blogging also roughly 12 years ago and things have changed dramatically since than. I struggle with knowing what to write and what not.
I hope your health issues get resolved soon and wish you all the best!

I yearn for the ‘good ole days’too. Make it happen girl! I, for one, will truly look forward to it. Cut the crap and just write a good ‘old’ blog! I’ll be waiting. And, I hope the doctor appointment goes well. Hang in there. We CARE!

In reply to Blaise Allen.

Dear Blaise,
Oh friend…I am so sorry to hear about the loss of not just one of your parents, but both. How terrible. I was just talking to my mom and we were talking about how when my parents pass away, I just hope they do it at the same time. Then I realized how incredibly difficult that would be to lose to of the most influential people in my life at the same time. I can’t imagine. I’m so sorry. Please reach out if you need to talk. Maybe we could chat and eat bacon together 🙂
Love,
Kristen

In reply to Gabi.

Dear Gabi,
As someone who has been in the trenches of this for so long with me, I feel comfort in knowing we are feeling a lot of the same things.
I love your new attitude and need to adopt that for what I do here as well. It’s a great way to take things in the future.

(And thanks for your tip about the contrast…I will see if I can figure out how to do that. It is an awful lot of “light on light”!
All the best,
Kristen

In reply to Asha.

Dear Asha,
I absolutely agree with you about the fact that there are behavioral changes we notice that creates its own negative loop (I like that term to describe it…negative loop).

I just visited your blog and you are still doing such beautiful things. Don’t ever quit!
All the love,
Kristen

In reply to Michelle.

Michelle,
Wow – I’m so honored to be in your 5. That makes me really happy. I appreciate you sticking around through everything that’s changed and evolved around here.
And you are so right… I wouldn’t judge any of my friends if I went into their home and it wasn’t perfect. I’d just be happy for the opportunity to connect. Such a fantastic reminder.
Thank you so much!
Love,
Kristen
