Lauren's Lair: Here be dragons...

[Sephirah]

Glad to see you back, Lauren.

I know you were going through some stuff, so I kind of sat back and gave you space. Sarah has been wonderful at keeping us updated without details, just to let us know how you are doing.

I know you don't know how to respond, but we love you very much. Just pop in now and then when you can, if you are up to it.  Lots of love and hugs, hun!

Yeah, Sarah is... I mean she is very special. She knows how to reach out to someone in just the right way (sorry, Sarah but you do. You are kind of one in a million and way too hard on yourself, sweetie).

Lori, don't even worry about it okay? You have like... a plate as big as the Flat Earth, and you... I do not know where you get the energy from, girl. I really don't. I think you are tapped into a vein in the world no one else can see. You make everyone feel wanted, and part of something. You have the biggest heart and the kindest touch I think I have ever known. You are also very special.

Lauren! It's great to see you back. Please take all the time you need for your recovery. We'll be here, still sending our love.

Thank you, Pema. I have the utmost respect and admiration for you, sweetie. Always have. I know we have had issues recently but it's my hope we can move past that. Sometimes I am not in a good place and I guess I have a scorpion's sting. I am not proud of it, but you always speak with grace and tolerance. Something I need to re-learn at times.

It takes other people to help you see what you don't see in yourself. It takes the sheer amazingness of people here to help you focus on what matters.

Thank you, sincerely.

I apologise if I sometimes come across like Hugh Grant, haha. I just... I sometimes don't know how to deal with the level of kindness and support you folks give. I am often at a loss for words. Just know that... you are all incredible people and I do not deserve it. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart, even though that never seems like enough. It matters more than I can say.

I guess that's why I've been here so long. Some things don't change, as Morpheus said.

Thank you. <3

You have been a great inspiration to so many. We appreciate your kind words and the love that comes through.

The way you frame things and allow us to see ourselves from a different direction with and added load of kindness is definitely your superpower. You almost certainly deserve the love and attention you get here. But lets say so do we all...not singling you out as we all bring ourselves to the table and hopefully as a collective make something special.

Yeah you certainly do, Charlotte. You have taught me that you don't need to try to be perfect all the time to be someone special, honey. None of us really are. Truth be told you are teaching me that it's sometimes okay to be not okay. And I thank you for that so much. That you just give all of yourself all the time is something... I have a lot to learn from.

Thank you for helping me get there.

Kellie, you are also a great inspiration to so many. Since I've known you, you have taken so many giant leaps that... I mean... takes real courage to do. You inspire me, too, sweetie. You face life with a tenacity that we could all learn from. And I thank you for that. For sharing it with me, and with us.

Keep going, okay? What strength I have, I give to all of you. <3
