Thank you for your words of wisdom. I...Dear Dame,<br /> Thank you for your words of wisdom. I'm definitely learning through this experience, though I won't know the lessons until much later, I think. One thing is that God works through the words and actions of other people and, even when we feel betrayed or abandoned, that really hasn't happened at all. Because the love and kindness of even strangers reaches out to us to soothe and heal. Which makes me want to become more of a conduit for that Divine Energy. I don't know where this will lead, writing-wise. But I'll definitely follow it. Thank you all again,<br />Anne B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-48038853406167807882012-05-06T16:34:22.606-04:002012-05-06T16:34:22.606-04:00Dear Anne, As one of your readers former reviewers...Dear Anne, As one of your readers former reviewers, I can say that your writing has been a source of great fun and inspiration. It's clear that the gifts that brought you to the point of excellence in writing, will take you through this storm, as well. However, I know from personal experience that God wants us to use these things that seem dark and pointless in our lives to bring light and comfort to others. Even the smallest of kernels we learn is the thing we need to share. As you walk through this new path of discovery, I can't wait for the novel you'll be bringing to us. I know that little kernel will be the most wonderful gift you've ever been able to bring us. I know you'll also find it when you listen with your heart. <br />Love and hugs, your fan, Deborah/TheBookishDameDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318926277089882125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-76655123205640705732012-05-03T19:48:21.626-04:002012-05-03T19:48:21.626-04:00I often say that it was cancer that finally pushed...I often say that it was cancer that finally pushed me over into becoming a writer. Before then I was someone who wrote –afterwards, I was a writer writing. And you’re right, we need to roll with the unexpected and take every experience that comes our way. While I’d much rather never have gotten cancer, that fact that I did is irrevocable, and my using writing as a navigator through all the hard-times was a wonderful self-growing sort of support.Catherinehttp://www.facingcancer.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-56394458674987033062012-05-01T17:13:26.140-04:002012-05-01T17:13:26.140-04:00In tears reading this - so very very true.
