Congrats on a wonderful year! I love your blog.mom2njihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00161033002882589345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-54993769311368153902009-01-01T15:09:00.000-08:002009-01-01T15:09:00.000-08:00Rebecca~<BR/><BR/>I have been speechless since the commencement of 2008, when I discovered your blog, stunned into silence by the richness of your words--words that are organic, and palpable and inconceivably real. 2008 was the "BEST YEAR EVER" for me, too. So many losses and gains; so many tears of sorrow and joy; and so many first steps, first words, first times. And somehow, while spinning within an incessant cyclone, I was deposited into your world, full of magic and beauty and new beginnings. In short, I, like so many others, stand in awe of your gifts--as a writer, mother, wife, friend, healer, comedian and, beyond all else, AUTHENTIC human being. <BR/><BR/>In many ways, you remind me of myself; somewhere in this life, I have walked some of the same streets and floundered in the clutches of similar disappointments. Yet, when I really thought about it the other day, I realized that I see you as the self I hope to BE one day, a woman surrounded by her own foursome, or trio or pair--anything but alone. I've gone from a self-absorbed addict with no dream, save for an early death, to a healthy, grateful, self-nurturing, career-oriented woman whose body longs to nourish a child and be held by someone--male or female--who loves her.<BR/><BR/>I have spent my life alone, mostly by choice, and yet my boundless fears have imprisoned me, too, forcing me into a solitary existence where the thought of intimacy, to any degree, has seemed impossible. Reading your blog has inspired me to move forward, to confront the sexuality that I have alienated for so long out of fear, traumatic memories, abuse and self-hatred. <BR/><BR/>You are everything I aspire to be as a woman: honest, in touch with herself, open about her sexuality, the partner of someone who respects and adores her, and the mother of Perfection: namely, the parent of an Archer or a Fable of her own. <BR/><BR/>When I read your blog, I see my future: a previously nebulous cloud of nothingness that gets closer by the moment, instilling me with hope and assuring me that Nothing will be Something one day. That I, too, will have a laughing child to come home to and nurture with all of the love that I have kept from myself. That I, too, will get beyond the trauma that holds me back and, one day soon, be FREE.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for inspiring me to unlock my prison door. Thank you for proving to me that my future IS POSSIBLE. . .and likely closer than I think.<BR/><BR/>May you and your family continue to love, laugh and thrive!<BR/><BR/>MARISAA GGC Family Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-92101769042293184392009-01-01T15:02:00.000-08:002009-01-01T15:02:00.000-08:00I hope 2009 is just as good!

I love your list. Especially the ones that had to do with your children and with re-falling in love with your husband (that must be an awesome feeling). Good luck with your producing your short film. It's a dream of mines to become a filmmaker (I know it'll never happen, but it'll always be a dream of mine): so it's great to see anyone out there wanting to do more or less the same thing. I hope it works out for you.<BR/><BR/>Take, care. =)Rayhttp://www.xanga.com/yourfavoritecynicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-54865933381512652562009-01-01T14:05:00.000-08:002009-01-01T14:05:00.000-08:00Happy New Year GGC, may this year be as wonderful as the last.motherbumperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16053978199395919666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-32319386148570627162009-01-01T07:33:00.000-08:002009-01-01T07:33:00.000-08:00What a great post.
