First off I would like to thank everyone for letting me know what my blog looked like throughout the day. It really helped to trouble shoot what was going on with it. I can now say that Jen at Jenieshell's Design Challenge did a great job giving me a blog make over. Jen worked really hard this week to get my blog up and running. She also worked hard tonight to try and figure out why some of us could see it and why others still could not. Lets all give her a huge round of applause for doing such a great job!!!!
Ok now for the doozie. I was originally going to post about something very hurtful that somebody said to me. I thought about it all day today and was going to write about it on my blog. I imagine many of you would be very upset about the event that I was going to tell you about, since I was hurt so deeply. Then as I started writing I stopped myself from writing what I wanted to about the events that unfolded. I don't want this person or people to somehow find my blog on the internet, read about what I have to say and about how hurt I was afterwards. I know this is MY blog and I can say what I want. This is a place for me to express my feelings and emotions. However, at the same time I have to watch out for me, I now have to protect myself. I really can't handle any more pain in my life right now. I don't want this post read by the wrong people and me get hurt even more in the long run about what happened. All I will say is that what happened should have never of occurred and should never have been said to me. I will leave it at that.
Maybe one day in the future when I'm feeling a little braver I will share in detail about what happened and with whom, but for now that is all I can say.
Once again thank you to Jen for my new blog design!
I LOVE it!!!

Love the make over, very sheek!!
You are very thoughtful to consider someone else's feelings.
I think it is so smart to be thoughtful about what you put on the internet..you can't ever get it back!
Love the makeover....it is so cute..
I hate to tell you this because it has been so difficult getting your header up..but unexpected is spelled wrong...sorry. I would want someone to tell me if I had a typo..kinda like the booger thing where you would hope a friend would tell you that you had a booger hanging off of you nose!... :) (well it's kinda the same in my world??)
Love the new look.
I understand why you don't want to put everything out there, do what's most comfortable for you.
I'm sorry you got hurt!
(((Hugs))
The new design looks great! I'm glad you were able to get it "up and running" finally.
Whatever someone said to you that was hurtful, I'm praying this morning that you will be able to move past it and be able to forgive that person. (Easy for me to say, right?)
It's really hard to forgive someone who has done something that hurts you, but if you can do it, it's really freeing (is that even a word?). As someone who's been there, I am really speaking the truth. Sometimes it takes a while to be able to do it, but once you do, you will feel better!
(PS, forgiving someone does NOT mean that you have to let them back into your life (if they were ever a part of it to begin with) if you don't want to - it just means that you won't allow their words or actions to hurt you anymore.)
I hope that helps.
Keeping you in my prayers.
LOVE the makeover....very nice!
And I understand being careful of what you say - even though its a "OPEN" area to speak....
And I'm sorry you were hurt by someone - you've had enough hurt in your life - more than anyone should have to bear....
Oh friend...I'm SO very sorry that you've been hurt.
I'll be praying that you are able to work through this heart and find healing.
Remember....often when we are hurt by someone...it has more to do with their maturity...spirituality...and depth..than it has to do with you!
When people hurt you...it tells on their person!!
Keep your chin up....and I LOVE your blog!!! :-)
I see it now...it is too cute! I can't imagine why someone would say something to such a sweet person like yourself, I'm sorry. We all love you! :)
Love the new look! So sorry someone was nasty to you!
Looks great!! And how "big" of you to take the high road and not post it...
I'm glad Liz said something about the spelling mistake - I didn't want to say anything, but agree it's like the booger thing!!! haha!
I love the Make over too!!! Too cool!! Just started my blog. I def need to learn some new tricks. I'll figure it all out soon I'm sure. What a great friend you have for all of the help she gave to you!!!
How strong of you not to vent about how that person that hurt you, esp if that comment would effect others. Keeping that mean and hurtful stuff in is not good for you though.
(((((((((((((Big HUGS))))))))))))
The new look is beautiful. But I'm a stickler for spelling and there are a couple of words spelled wrong in the header...."family" and "unexpectedly".
Sorry, I am the same person who will pick lint off a total stranger in an elevator! I just hate to see things "not right".
The makeover is AWESOME! Love the new look!
Thank you for those of you who pointed out the spelling problems. I think that Jen and I looked at the header so many different times that we just didn't 'see' it.
Thank you for pointing that out to me. The spelling problems should be fixed tonight once Jen gets home from work.
Just think...I was going to major in English. Good thing I changed my mind!
Your blog looks very nice.
Sorry someone said something so awful to you. It never fails to amaze me how many stupid things people can say.
I love your make over! Very scrapbooky! I am sorry someone was so thoughtless. It is amazing how people can be so hurtful. The other amazing thing--people can be so thoughtful and considerate and compassionate. I hope you have more of the later than the former!
Hi Jen,
I LOVE the new blog layout!
I'm so sorry your feelings were hurt...that is just not cool after all you've been through.
I'm praying for you!
Hugs,
Amanda
I am so sorry you were hurt like that. I write quite a bit about my miscarriages on my blog and share some of the things that people have said that were painful, but they are more along the lines of the general hurtful comments people make. The things that have really hurt, the personal ones, those are the ones I haven't blogged about because, like you, I don't want them to find my blog (or sometimes I already know they read it) and see me talking about them like that. But at the same time I just want to blab about it because it is so painful and blogging has been very therapeutic for me, not to mention the supportive community that comes from commenters. I guess it is like a catch-22, you want to share and get that support, but you don't want to hurt someone else in the process ((hugs))
