So Overwhelmed


Oh my God!!! Where do I begin?

I can't tell you how overwhelmed and
astounded I was at the response I got to my 





It was a bit of a gamble deciding to shed
more layers and expose more of who I am.





It was a risk I wanted to take and had been pondering
for a long time, but knew it could also turn some 
followers off.




However, I was not only "floored" by the wonderful comments left 
here (this has been my post popular post to date),




but by all the e.mails that landed in my Inbox from
women I didn't know; women who follow my blog
but never like to publicly comment, women who are 
also estranged from family members  and wanted
advice,





women who just wanted to reach out, women who
just wanted to say how much they loved how honest and
transparent my words felt, women who were in pain, women
who were worried I was hurting (I assured them I wasn't ;-),





women who themselves were currently in pain
and wanted to share their stories..........

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
If I had known the response I would have done it
sooner ;-) 

But everything has it's time, and now felt right.





So to all the wonderful women and 
friends I have met through this humble
little collection of ramblings, 
this last image says how I feel
about you ALL:-)

  2. I think we are all weary of the hearts and unicorns nature of most blogs.
    On a shallow note - fur shoes - I must find a pair of fur shoes!

  6. This seems to prove my feelings that we, here in blogland, are not interested solely in pretty clothes, sky-high shoes, expensive handbags and stunning interiors. Honesty always gets us, and it's how we're learning something more about the people who came to our lives through blogging. Thank you for your honest words, sweetie!

    And thank you for the loveliest of gifts, that finally arrived today :) It's so beautiful and the most perfect color for me :) Thank you for being such a lovely and generous friend!

    Love
    xx Ivana
