Day 438 ~ #30... of My 30 Days of Truth...

My 30 Days of Truth challenge   I will admit that I changed one question and changed a few curse words... other than that the challenge is intact. 

Day 30: A letter to yourself... tell yourself everything you love about yourself...

Dear Self...
Wow! Where to start?...  
We've been through so much...  we've seen so much... sharing so much along the way.  
I am so proud of you for hanging in there time after time, and for never looking the other way.  
I am so proud of your inner strength, as I am proud of your weaknesses.  I am proud of your constant desire to help others as well.  
I am proud of how you've faced adversary, worked your way around obstacles and how you've fought through all the tribulations in your life... I am even proud of how you have picked yourself up after every negative situation that was thrown at you... and never being afraid of admitting your faults.  
Most importantly I am so proud for your sincere desire to better yourself each day... your desire to be the person your children and husband would always be proud of... as well as your desire to always do the right thing.  
Keep up the great work... never taking your eyes off the prize.  {and} whatever you do... don't ever forget about the big picture.  
With much love...  
Your self.         

With God's grace.
Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good.  ~Proverbs 19-8

Day 420 ~ #13 of My 30 Days of Truth

My 30 Days of Truth challenge   I will admit that I changed one question and changed a few curse words... other than that the challenge is intact. 

Day 13:  Write a letter to a band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days.


As far back as I can remember the same person keeps coming up...
I wanted to thank you for being there for me.  You and Fleetwood Mac.  You are probably wondering what for...
Your album Bella Donna helped me through some tough times growing up.  I remember being about 19... I had just had a major fight with my dad (a common occurrence) and there it was laying on my turn-table.  I reached for the arm, and placed the needle ever so gently on the vinyl as it went round and round... (as you and I know compact discs were not out yet) the words were so awe striking "Just like the white winged dove..." ... I don't know what it was about your words, as well as all the music on this album... but it soothed me. It made me feel as if I was not alone.
A warm thank you and a big hug back at you.  Thank you for lifting me up with your beautiful angelic voice.
Forever a fan... 
Carla.
So there you have it.  From a gal who reached adulthood in the 80s and lived to tell about it.  Literally! 
Well then suddenly...  There was no one... left standing in the hall... yeah yeah...
In a flood of tears...  That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searchin' for an answer... Up the stairs... and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
Just to hear the call of a nightbird... singing...
Come away... come away...
~ Stevie Nicks
