Which was why the grumbles on FB where you posted the photo made complete sense to me - I would have grumbled too, if I had had to exert myself w/ no warning! Now that I know it's an amusement park ride, and I was especially blonde, I had to laugh!<br /><br />Love does save us, yes? In endless ways. With softness or laughter, or a swooping hug, or a breathless moment....a splash of color...a song lyric. Love is just always with us as long as we choose to clear our eyes and recognize it. <br /><br />Much love to you, sweet girl! I apologize, btw, for just seeing your post on my last blog article today. I didn't receive the regular email notification, but I did reply to you. I also just posted a new article that's a bit of a departure from my normal writing style. If you get a chance, pop over and let me know what you think!<br /><br />- DawnieHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-86611417618482307402013-07-22T12:38:48.386-07:002013-07-22T12:38:48.386-07:00Oh Chris, I run for your posts too.

Tell me, show me, feed me. Your ability to blow raspberries at your stumbles and Biblical depth in sharing your revelations inspires me more than I can say. I have been a huffy little princess and my cheer has flatlined. I have allowed my writing to reflect it because it's my party and I'll cry if I want to. But I don't actually want to, I'm just pretending that the roller coasters around me aren't as exciting as the big one I'm working my way to. Thanks for reminding me that the practical shoes I'm having to wear are climbing towards love.Ms. Faustushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191744120373670081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-18417838397371794412013-07-21T14:28:07.348-07:002013-07-21T14:28:07.348-07:00Way to go on kicking the smoke and diet coke.

Thank you so much for reminding me ...Dear Leah!!!!! Thank you so much for reminding me to get over to your blog! It is a must read for my soul. I am so right there with you on the roller coaster of life, and I find such joy in your synthesis of the journey. It brings me such peace to know we can be slammed around and love is still standing strong. Makes me think of the scene in Contact the movie, where she stops struggling to sit in her seat that was added by engineers to the alien plan, and she lets go, and begins to float peacefully. I think we are trying to shed the man maid fear that says we've got to be strapped in to be safe. Ahhh, your art. Peter Pan. Mmmm. You make my heart sing. Here is to magic. I deeply mean it when I say, I LOVE YOU!

I can already see a little bit of you in him;) Can't wait to dig into book three of the Bibliophiles. I wanna join their group.<br /><br />I'm hoping that my novel gets a boost of attention from this competition. I always thought that writing a book would be the tough part. Boy was I wrong.
