  P R O U D of H E R: Daughter's column in the New York Times

  by humbled in

  she called last night to say it's online now, front page.

  it'll be in the print version sunday.. not everyone's cup of tea, at first consideration: she is slightly embarrassed to be featured in the modern love column in the style section.. the times people asked to make a short video of her article "fight or flight".

  they went to her bronx apartment to talk to her.

  Hej Mr. Quik,

  glad you got to see them, my mother-in-law ignored my children when they were over to attend her exhusband's funeral. She stood talking to her daughter who had never been baptized but ignored her son's children because she obviously viewed them as not worthy of her greetings. My daughter just laughed it off :( she said she had had years of shunning that made her grandmother's attempt look pathetic in comparison. My daughter was never baptized, I think it was so mean. I have just become a grandmother for both of my grown kids, nothing would ever make me behave so badly.

  You are wonderful to keep so optimistic.

  Hugs

  March Moooooodiness

  by LouBelle in

  i had a fantastic february, went over my sales target by 121 %, did a fabulous school pull out feature (all on my own) wrote a couple of stories that got printed in the paper.

  i was go go go in feb. then come march, work forces a technical error issue to arise regarding previous months sales (they don't want to pay me the full 10k) and in order to fight it - takes far too much stress so negotiated an agreement (settling on 7.2k).

  that kind of took the wind out of my sails/sales, just haven't felt like selling again, went for another job interview, they offered exactly what i'm getting here and when i tried negotiating they haven't even had the ettiquette to return calls / emails.

  Hej Lou Belle, such a cut throat business world we live in these days, it is hard for truly kind people like yourself to keep going. Just trust your instincts and be yourself. Depression is such a bitch to live with (I know from experience), hope you come through March and perk up in April.

  Love

  Seems to be on a need to know basis, many just let their kids attend and say nothing to anyone, just make sure no pics turn up on fb.

  my mother broke her hip last week.

  she had an emergency partial replacement surgery friday night.

  we don't know how she did it as we have caregivers with her at all times, she may have fallen while in the bathroom for a few minutes.

  Dear Jeff,

  Hope your mum makes a speedy recovery....make sure she gets really good food while she is in there, it really does make a difference to her recovery.

  Hope you cope, I know how stressing it is to take care of someone in hospital over a long period of time.

  HUGS

  hello jwn!

  i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.

  i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  So happy to hear that you are both doing so well, life is good and meant to be lived going forwards not looking back. You sound like you have found the right balance. Love the description of your activities, I am a keen gardener....hippy style if I could call it anything. I love my early spring flowers and here in Scandinavia we have had a mild winter and they are all up and like a lovely carpet of gold around the apple trees, the snowdrops are looking lovely too.

  Your winter sounds tough...we used to have them like that but this year has been an exception. All the best to you and your wife.
