I actually think that every point is made much more powerful and easy to understand through stories. I think we all learn better through stories than anything else. I totally understand though - how it feels to publish something and then feel vulnerable about it. I think that's just how it goes for any writer, whether fledgling or a long time success. There's always that question that keeps popping up that asks, "who am I to share my thoughts, ideas, etc" and then wondering if by sharing you're simply making yourself vulnerable or releasing something that should be released. Unfortunately, I have a hard time answering those questions too. But I like your blog and think you should keep writing. :-)<br /><br />KristinKristin Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176537444920783847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841744601971548808.post-5351564986975429222012-12-19T23:02:04.037-08:002012-12-19T23:02:04.037-08:00I decided to remove the J stories for now --- they...I decided to remove the J stories for now --- they seemed too personal -- but I saved themRuthie Houston-Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067171721867490703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841744601971548808.post-68562292789627393452012-12-19T14:57:46.809-08:002012-12-19T14:57:46.809-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ruthie Houston-Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067171721867490703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841744601971548808.post-58435275400937427202012-12-19T10:47:35.390-08:002012-12-19T10:47:35.390-08:00Great stuff.

No kids of my own, which is for the best, so I have no ability to "chime in," but I loved the stories about J and feel your attitudes about love are truthful. Why can't more parents realize this one need of children that towers above all others?Julia https://www.blogger.com/profile/10419708170645535759noreply@blogger.com
