Thank you for the thoughts.....I don't feel bad at all about how the whole thing unfolded. I still don't think it was a waste of time and I am still glad I did it. I think all things in life that have merit teach us something about ourselves in the process. Even the bad things, sadly. Though I do not know any of the particulars, nor do I wish to, I myself struggle with not saying what I want to say when I know the truth.

Though some behind the scene guides add to the overall thrill and understanding of the movie or series, you have often said that you are a very public person and because of that are viewed very critically. That kind of honesty ALWAYS come with a price.

I haven't given up on writing in general, and neither should you. If you feel inclined to write, you should do so, but write on what you are passionate on. What you love, SFM. There will always be those interested in that.

Be encouraged....

Oh, and I hear someone is having a birthday soon....Wonder who?

The kids got your card and mailed it this week to DS and I for one and glad it is in the mail. I love ya, but if they played the song one more time I was going to go crazy. You'll have to let me know if the postal people smash it before arrival---the kids would be happy to sing it and post it online for you if they did.

I hope not though. It was funny.

Kings,

I got the package in the mail this evening when I got home from Open House. So, I couldn't mail it today but it will be in the mail tomorrow, in plenty of time for Stewart's birthday!

Stewart,

Great to hear from you. I will never fully understand ALL that went on behind the scenes although I met many of the players, partially because I am naive and too often cluelessly living in my own little world and partially because I still want to believe in the best in people. Everyone has some light and dark in them. Sometimes you only see one side while others get a view of the other side or both.

It is hard not to want or try to fight back when you feel an injustice was committed against. But as you know, my only niece was raped and murdered nine years ago this December. This was absolute, there was nothing I could ever say or do to set anything strait. A great injustice had been done to my niece, her husband and our families and we were utterly, completely, helplessly devastated. But not until I let go of the anger, disgust and intolerable rage I felt for this man and his actions could I look back at the memory of my niece without it being dominated by visions of her tragic, violent, undeserved death. After letting go of the anger my memory is still bittersweet but more sweet than bitter. I remember more the wonderful, energetic, happy brief life and not only the unfair death. I will still fight for the murderer to stay behind bars and lament the family and future my niece and her husband never had but I let go of the chains of revenge because they were controlling not only my emotions but my memories. Some injustices can be fought against but others just have to be let go . . .

Debbie S.
