Praise for RM/Laura
« on: April 25, 2007, 10:56:35 PM »
Laura,
I hope you don't mind me sigling you out, but I have been thinking about you a lot - especially as pertains to this board.
Quite a few months ago, as many of you will remember, Laura asked for some input as to why her posts didn't always bring about the response she had hoped for. Laura received quite a bit of (constructive) criticism. In receiving that criticism, Laura stepped back for a while and then returned here and continued on. She respected the ideas that others had offered, yet maintained her values and beliefs.
I think it took a lot of maturity and self esteem to internalize all that was said to you, Laura.
I just wanted to say thanks for being such a great example.
Love, Beth

Beth,

I love tributes.  I'm happy to jump in and say thanks for this one to ReallyMe.  It's overdue!

And to ReallyMe, I'm glad and honoured  to be walking with you here even if I don't say much  along the way.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, I think I'd cry if I were able to right now (antidepressants tend to hinder tears...ugh)...you all are SO WONDERFUL to treat me this way!  I am grateful for this board and all the friends with like-mindedness that I have met!

It's so nice to come and share my thoughts and life with people who care and value what I have to share and who value ME, more importantly!

May the Lord bless all of you abundantly with freedom and a VOICE!

Don't stop telling it, people!  Break the don't talk don't tell rule!

That takes a lot of guts Laura.  So glad you pointed this out Beth.
