EVERYONE!!! I LOVE YOU!!! I can't let another whole month go by!
Be looking out! I am redoing the blog.....and doing some new subjects....that will be coming soon! We WILL HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT!!! I MISS YOU GUYS!!! But, let me tell you where I've been and why I'll be back to chatting with you so very very soon.
This week I have gotten a whole bunch of phonecalls and emails from out of the blue......wow...it is so crazy the way things work...people from my past that I haven't heard from in ages...people I love so very very much....and...I am certain that it is because I am so close to finishing the book, and you must have felt my vibes while I was thinking and writing.....by the way THANK YOU FOR EVERY SINGLE NOTE, CALL, MESSAGE, EMAIL........positive vibe, thought, prayer......
I love all of you, even if we've never met...
You probably can't tell by this blog, because I am so WIIIIIDE open about my feelings, my views, my beliefs....that I am really pretty private.....I keep a lot of things to myself....because I am a fixer and a doer and I don't like to feel like I can't do things on my own.....and that there are things that are completely out of my control....my whole life has felt out of my control for the last few years.....
BUUUUUT.....
The last few years have been in sane. IN SAAAAANE. I have not divulged most of the details of what our family has been through, what our marriage has been through, what Chatterbox has been through....the journey we have been on, what has happened, how we survived it....things on so many levels....so much pain, so much sorrow, so many barely-made-it days, so much FIGHTING FOR EVEYRTHING THAT MATTERS TO US....so much tragedy and ugliness and deceit and lies and bleeeehk......but LIGHT IS BIGGER, just like I always say, because I learned it from experiencing so much darkness.....and mostly this little book is full of little everyday miracles found in the ugliness.
......and there seems to be LOTS AND LOTS OF RUMORS....I have been hearing them all week...some of them make me laugh, they are silly...some of them make me cry...they are mean.
Well, after all of the phonecalls and letters and emails and drop-by-to-chat's.......and encouragement and even begging from everyone close to me.....HERE'S MY ANNOUNCEMENT!
I am finally almost done with the book that will be published in July....
It is called "STAY WITH ME - The Story of a Family - The Story of a Dream"
and, inside you will hear the WHOLE story....about my husband's accident, about what happened to my company while I was taking care of him, about what is happening to my company now....about the villains and heroes and REAL LIFE. I know there's tons and tons of rumors out there right now because I haven't come forth to tell about it.........
BUT...just know.....I am good, I am GREAT, in fact...those of you who know me well, I know you were worried for a while....but........this has been enormously healing.....
and I wrote it to help others who are in pain....who are just getting through the day, who feel lost or sad or confused or forgotten or like things will never be happy again. I wrote it for people who used to be in love and are now struggling in their marriages, because I just lived through one of the most beautifully painful love stories ever....I wrote it for people who have a big dream but keep getting stomped on and might have reached the point where they just can't get back up this time....I wrote it for people who are so madly in love with their children that it makes their heart ache....I wrote it for anyone who wants to feel understood on a very deep level.....and, I wrote it because EVERY STORY MUST BE TOLD...
our stories are so important.
I preach it now I gotta live it........so, be watching.....it's pretty raw and 100% out there......
Yes, I am still alive, and I am even laughing again....
Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do. With such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
-Vincent Van Gogh
.....and be watching for all of the new scrapbooking products that have been born from this journey too....I have never felt more committed to getting everyone alive to tell their stories.....
LOTS OF LOVE....and talk to you soon,
Melody
