I loved the part where you went running to your mother -- when you ever question what the "real self" is, that was it. You broke out of the restrictions imposed on you by your dreadful Aunt, the fear and inhibitions welling up inside you and broke free. That's it! The real self -- there for you to connect with, patiently waiting to be free.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414508208712819014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-90333895468676392012007-05-14T07:14:00.000-06:002007-05-14T07:14:00.000-06:00Like Cindy, I'm enormously grateful you have her j...Like Cindy, I'm enormously grateful you have her journals & letters, & enormously grateful for the encompassing love & compassion of this installment.

Maybe a book around the basis of these posts? We'd read and buy it...unusual (but probably universal), poignant, warm, REAL. :-)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856254838049366414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-91315642470643960822007-05-12T22:49:00.000-06:002007-05-12T22:49:00.000-06:00This one has left me speechless and thoughtful, po...This one has left me speechless and thoughtful, pondering many, many things. I am glad you have her journal writings and drawings. And that you had Aunt Wilma. So many different bits of this story touched so many different bits of me, and my life. If you wrote your life story, I would most likely read the whole thing without putting it down. Thanks so much.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400492104098347769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-71452241836559170472007-05-12T22:08:00.001-06:002007-05-12T22:08:00.001-06:00What an amazing series of posts, Bea.

It is so scary how easily people can just fall "over the edge" and end up in such terrible circumstances. What a childhood you had. . .Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668796948874901630.post-87441110733131674542007-05-12T12:03:00.000-06:002007-05-12T12:03:00.000-06:00Oh my gosh, I get so wrapped up in your storytelli...Oh my gosh, I get so wrapped up in your storytelling. I really hope you can get published one day (if you want to), because your writing is superb and your story is intriguing.<BR/><BR/>I am so grateful that I was able to meet a creative, introspective person like you (even if it is only online). This is yet another fantastic reason why I love the AFG blog that brought all of us together.Vashta Naradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226872593870131074noreply@blogger.com
