Thanks, Sarah, for sharing such wonderful news!

Welcome back, Sephirah!

You tolerated hospital fare for far too long.

Massive hugs, Girl!

Hey, folks.

I am sorry for making so many of you worry. And kind of disappearing on such a melodramatic note.

Like Sarah said... I am still here. I might be quiet for a bit but... the outpouring of support is always something that has made this place a beacon above all others. It means more than you know. I don't know how much I will be here going forward but I want you to know... I am deeply touched and shocked at the response. I never thought I was worth it all. Thank you.

I just want to say, though, Anni.. Sarah... Whisper... thank you for keeping in touch beyond all of this. I know I put a lot of stuff on you. Beyond what you're already dealing with. I am sorry for that.

It will be okay.

Thank you for giving a damn. It means more than you know. All of you.

I feel like the intersection of dark and light. I have a dark soul residing in me but an intense draw to the powers of good. All around I feel the constant battle between darkness and light.

Thank you, both.

I have been reading through your posts and... Charlotte you make me smile. Yeah I am a northern lass. It is grim up north, sometimes. But whatever. I went to London one time and it made me feel decidedly uncomfortable.

It's okay, folks. I don't know how much I will be here going forwards. I am dealing with a metric crapton of..um... cr*ap. But... thank you. The reason I am still here after all this time is because you are who you are. The people might change, but the hearts of the people don't change. Different names, same spirit. I am thankful to have known you all.

Thank you.

Kathy, I have known you for a long, long time. Through a lot of things. I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for you. Your quiet acceptance and your strength towards other people.

It's not just because you have "Lauren" in your name, haha.

Seriously. We have been through a lot of years together. Thank you, honey.

I really don't deserve this. I don't. I don't really know how to deal with it. I know how to make other people feel better, I don't... I don't know how to deal with people trying to make me feel better.

I am sorry for that if I ever come across as ungrateful. The truth is... every single person who ever made me smile is special. There isn't enough space to mention everyone.

Just know... you all make me keep coming back here, ever since 2008.

I don't know what you are going through, and it's not my business. Being several thousand miles away makes this seem hollow. I will do anything I can to help you, or give you peace.
Please remember you're loved

Alana, you are also someone who... gives someone the strength to keep going. Just because you have the strength to keep going.

For all the time we've spoken... you kept me going as much as I did you. You are my sister and I love you.

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!

Welcome back Lauren.


Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Hope is the last goddess.

And springs eternal like a feathered thing.

So good to see you, Lauren!

But you'll always be Sephirah to me. The emanation of Ein Sof.

Love you, Girl.

Indeed.  Almost 11 years I have been here, and you have been here for me (and many others) all that time.  Wow!

And yet you deal with it with grace and beauty.  💗
