I have enjoyed getting to know you on your blog -- you are an amazing person and have so much to offer -- and to think, soon you wlll be healing others with accupuncture! Maybe you will specialize in helping people in the recovery process, as I've read accupuncture is so effective. It's awesome that you are committing to more awareness -- it's so worth it! One thing I've noticed about your blog is that you seem to have a very positive underlying vibe to your writing -- and you always take lessons from what you are doing. That shows me that you are resilient -- and your blog offers so much hope and inspiration! Thanks for stopping by and being part of a supportive community we are creating on the web. I'll be visiting you again -- and often! With love, Heather Hi Emily, thank you so much for visitng my blog — after being an avid reader of yours, it’s great to have you over here too!

I appreciate that you came back to visit and your feedback is heart-warming. Pema Chodron is a favorite of mine as well -- and I also read Thich Nhat Hanh, although my all time favoite these days is Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. He makes it so much easier to understand than his book, The Power of Now -- which I also loved. So Buddhism has inspired me, and although I read it often, knowing it was true, I also had difficulty knowing how to apply it in my life when things were so dark. My quest was to find a way to "flip a switch" or help myself stay in a place of mindfulness -- or at least snap back from relapses faster. It was practicing many different things over the last year -- and finally surrenduring to just "being" that seemed to bring it all together for me. It is so foreign -- and trust was so foreign for me -- so it seemed "hard." Thank you for letting me know that what I am writing is making sense. I hope to describe as best I can what I learned and feedback really helps me adjust course, if necessary. I am feeling much better now that my blog is fully restored -- and I was so happy to wake up this morning and find your comments here. It's just another form of proof that everything works out!

I can feel you are going to help (and are already helping!) so many people with this! It is making me realize that I haven't been conscious enough in every step of my life lately. I am moving towards this again, but, for a while, I had allowed stress to take over in my life, and I had fallen off center and lost my balance. You're inspiring me to increase my awareness again in every step along the way! Thank you for being such an inspiration, and for all your thoughtful and loving comments on my own blog! with love, Emily Dear Heather,

I thank you so much for your site... everything you write is so inspiring and encouraging. I feel you offer a realistic view with hard-won acceptance and optimism. I thank you so much for sharing. It's really comforting to read. Also, are you coming from a Buddhist point of view? Some of the thoughts you are writing remind me a bit of books I've read by Pema Chodron, but I can relate to your writings better, just because Chodron's idea of wholesale "letting go" seems overly simple for where I'm coming from, at this point in time. Anyway, thank you again. I'm glad everything worked out with the blog and the back-up, and hope you're feeling strong and encouraged. Again!
