5/23/2016 12:00:15 AM | Hey Chrissie - Well for starters - your story post was riveting and actually came to my mind a few times since I read it a while back! Esp. the part about the bird's nest and dead bird - that has come to my mind more than a few times when I see the nests in my back yard! I also loved your emphasis on candiaisis and the fungal connection to healing! -here are a few thoughts for you to chew on as to why I think folks did not chime in - or at least why I did not.... First - the post seemed complete - and even after reading it again - as nice and detailed as it is - it seemed "complete" and did not seem to need or invite feedback - even though usually feedback is assumed to be welcomed - there are some posts that leave us thinking and not moving into reply mode..... And sometimes there are no words - hm.... Also - I agree with what Ruth said about the shy factor - because certain personalities express in differ r ways! and who knows - maybe other things are at play - because commenting in forums is always a mixed bag as people vary! Forum sharing is one of my least favorite venues - but they have perks - obviously! And with your post - I was under the impression that this was Fiona's thread - and I am not sure how threads go here - having only just started my own thread ((the healing journey of lady t thread)) - and so as awesome as your post was - I kinda thought it was to fiona - and to all indirectly - but assumed mainly for her also from your interacting with her in previous posts - and in the story post - you even mention you refer to her as sounding like your assistant! So please start your own thread for your updates - if u have not yet done so! And then another suggestion is to maybe add a note saying that "feedback is desired" - or - directly ask some questions - because honestly - your story post seemed like a share that was complete (if that makes sense) - and it seems like a question invites directly! further - when I read some past posts with updates from folks - many of them have updates with no follow up at all. And then for me - not only have I "not" had follow up comments after some heart-pour posts - I also have sensed some dislike - and actually was told something about it as well - but I did not take it personal because I know it is a natural social thing - plus - I came back from nowhere posting here and wrote with such energy- so I can see why a few folks might have been turned off - or threatened - or jealous - or highly critical of me - or just not a fan of lady T!! It is what it is .... but God also led me here and if he wants me sharing here then I know he will continue to give me favor - and for Mel and Peter to value my input is more than enough! And when Peter quoted me recently - wow - how affirming! how encouraging - and while it is a desire of my heart that folks would know my heart here - I know a few folks might not ever warm me to me - and that is ok - I am too old - or seasoned with life learning - to let that stuff sink in - and as I am confident in Christ and not in a popularity contest I can not take it personal and will let God tell me when to stop sharing here! But we all need support - which is why you spoke up here - <3 - and this is also what I get when I share and interact here - I get support too! we need each other - which you so beautifully mentioned in your thread! Oh and also keep in mind that this forum is very low tech (so 2008) - and this low tech forum has plus sides to the simplicity - but many drawbacks - like no notifications when folks reply - and I am sure I have missed comments for me - like I just saw Fiona's reply to me just now! so I think another reason why there was no direct feedback to your story post was because right after you posted - Fiona chimed in and the thread evolved from there! And maybe because the way the forum is set up - the post seemed like one in a moving convo? ;) a few more things I liked from your post was the succinct way you covered a very long journey - not verbose (even though wordy is sometimes fine) but you smoothly hit some key points as you shared your journey! and sorry about the loss of your cat - - and I do think our pets will be in heaven - on our welcome team when we get there!! Your cat story also resonated deeply with me because my dog died in April and I think he was MD asymptomatic - our other dog has MD symptoms (other dog might have given it to me actually) and so I have been treating him all along with me - and so when the healthy dog died it was a shock (we sorta expected the other one to go first) so Chrissie - when I read your story share post - and came to the part about your dead cat and then your dog being treated - I felt comforted in a way that was very human and felt a love connection from one pet lover to another - and to me - this is sometimes what you will never see as a fruit of your sharing!!! Further - sometimes people cannot articulate things at a certain time - it is later when we feel something of notice it - and I think this is another reason why folks don't share - human affect is complex at times and we have layers - So do keep that in mind as you share in the future - you might get plenty of feedback - but still not get notice of how valuable your share really was - maybe God will give glimpses - but in heaven you will see so much more - but we always reap what we sow and investing in others (by pouring out) is a very powerful intrinsic and sound "inevestment" ;) And I have a feeling that Those who read this forum in the future will appreciate much of what you shared too! Some of my most helpef stuff came from a different site that was active 8 years ago! But I also think folks cannot respond when they are chewing on stuff! Sometimes it is very hard to move into comment mode after we read hefty stuff - as we process and think!!! The commenting in certain blogs and other forums can be quite superfluous - and sometimes less is more! Sometimes there becomes this rote and disgenuous type of commenting that is almost obligatory - Or so shallow - and while there is a place for it - especially for those who are all anxious and cannot ever silence their thoughts ((almost comment junkies)) Well - as noted - my least favorite place to leave comments are in mots forums ---- but I think Mel, Peter and JohnB do a nice job at structuring things here - very nice - because social situations get messy and people can easily have power plays and jealous feelings or just feel honest dislike for others - because let us be honest - sometimes as humans we like certain folks more than others! God made us very diverse and it is ok to be not be liked by everyone - it still hurts - or can! But in my maturing path - I learned that it is actually very natural to not have everyone like me - and usually has nothing to do with "me" - and a famous quote even says "woe to the man who "is" liked by all"---- ha! And so regarding this forum and site - as low tech as it is - it is well structured and is meeting very real needs - it is a place of hope and LOVE Fills these pages - love! And while it is ok to maybe dislike - we are still able to love thru it all those that do not care for me can just skip over posts with lady T- and if I feel dissed - I can let God clear up any misunderstandings or mistakes on my part! Like if I failed to introduce myself and what it! - it is god's spirit inside us that gives us the grace to not be easily offended - It is also god's grave that gives us the ability to speak up and talk it out if feeling wounded - like you noted here <3 ;) And not saying you even felt "that" dissed - so my writing here is more general on the topic overall - it is the Indwelling presence of God that has allowed all of us to stay stable and strong when criticized or dissed. We still feel ---cos it hurts ---- but God soothes and comforts and fills and restores - because HE is the one who meets all of our needs - and no human can ever possibly do this at our core! God fills the biggest part- so when people let us down - they can't really let us down because they are not the ones holding us up- God is- and he knows exactly what we need and when! Also - when I have "had" a few people respond to my posts (but trust me Chrissie - most of my posts have NO follow up) a but the ones that did have some replies - well it was because I mentioned them - like with Sheila - I said her name and how we shared the sore dig thing! And then wonderful Gale will always be special to me cos she was the first person I connected with - - but I said her name and directed it at her - does that make sense? Another part of your story that came thru loud and clear was about the mold and viruses - and this info helps as a nice resource! It confirms what the leadership here keeps saying - and even your great point about stress was another reminder. And then your journey growth with your self love and your understanding of emotions is spot on - and my goodness are so many people in the dark when it comes to some of this emotional wellness - so your post was rich my friend! All people need to learn more about how to build self-esteem - how to silence the inner critic - how to chill when they cannot control this disease - or when it is not on their time table - And we need to identify the personal baggage that mixes with some very real wounds - and so many folks get a chronic illness like MD -and then see they have other "personal housekeeping" to do - which you noted!!! people slowly heal physically while they also learn a bunch about self-awareness - normal strengths and weaknesses - and like you so poignantly said - they learn self-love! And Chrissie - I just tracked with you the whole time I read your post! Ok - one last tidbit and I am not just looking for things because you asked - this is legit! all this week I have been making a drink inspired by you - and the funny thing is that I knew I read it somewhere - and coming back today reminded me it was you! you shared about your blender drink - and I was needing something new in my life this week! I blend a whole lemon - add the the olive oil you noted - but I leave out the garlic (sometimes I take garlic caps) anyhow - I add in some vitamin c powder and a heaping teaspoon of calm magnesium! And it is yum! Really refreshing! So thanks to you because the lemon and oil part was one of the best tips I have gotten from this entire forum - I might try the garlic ((and still laugh when you say your pet responds to your drink)) but my version is like all natural lemonade and I thank you! In closing -thank you for following up with your desire for feedback cos it gave me a reason to share tonight!!! And thanks for not just staying silent and burying your feelings - you could have left here or just kept quiet - but as you modeled this healthy speaking up - like gale did before - you show us all a nice example of communicating and clarifying - this is so key and we all keep learning more as we go! It also gave me the chance to let you know how much your story stuck with me - and actually every single story shared here has resonated with the readers in ways folks might not ever see!! because "we are one" with this illness and the details of personal stories are really the essence of life - And another thing I love that you chrissie reminded everyone about (in a different post maybe) was how those who do not have this disease do not have a clue about the sci-fi symptoms (something like that) - and that is also another example of your seasoning and learned wisdom that God has granted you - so keep sharing (as he leads) because your words are being soaked up my friend - and be sure to start your own thread if you do not have one yet! Peace to you! |
