I had to say all of those brave, wonderful, magical things to my 3 other children, my spouse, my mother, my in-laws, etc., etc. You know what? It did help and it was wonderful. He is okay. He is cancer-free and has been for 4 years now. I would do the same thing in a heartbeat and I have done the same thing in many other situations.<BR/><BR/>I would love to meet you face to face. You seem to be a truly remarkable woman.

And I recognized this profound truth, from your lips, echoes the words found in the book of Hebrews, chapter 11, verse 1. Thus, I continue to admire, respect, and love you even more. For you, My Dear, Kelly, are "plugged in" to Truth. And you present it with astounding beauty and grace that is, quite simply ... all YOU!<BR/><BR/>Tis is one of the most amazing pieces of soulful and inspiring work that I have had the honor to read.<BR/><BR/>NAMASTE <BR/><BR/>"Now Faith is the substance of things Hoped for, the Evidence of things not seen."

I needed a positive self-concept to rely on for the stressful day ahead, and at that moment as a 15 year old I really felt that my outfit could make or break my day. I asked my mother, and she said, "You look beautiful. You always look beautiful to me."<BR/><BR/>I asked my best friend, and she said, "Well Jen, its not really the best outfit. Let's see if you wear my jacket with it instead and pull your hair back with this scrunchies to see if we can do something a little better here..."<BR/><BR/>I really valued my friend's honesty, and her ability to be honest in a genuinely helpful way, without being hurtfully critical. I'd like to be more like that.Jennifer @ Fruit of My Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479983078312955832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-57595505873273670562008-03-11T14:06:00.000-04:002008-03-11T14:06:00.000-04:00"I believe that words are like magic beans: that s...<I>"I believe that words are like magic beans: that sometimes when you say things in just the right way, you can make them grow into something like truth."</I><BR/><BR/>Amen to that.
