Your Ethel link is powerful. That she surprised you so much, and helped you avoid all of those treatment options, is so wonderful. I like how Elizabeth had so many spiritual teachers in her year, and some of whom, like Richard from Texas, you'd never expect such wisdom from. And I like how your Ethel was like that -- unexpectedly healing and wise.Kind of makes you think who else in our worlds is healing us and helping us more than we yet realize.

I absolutely love the analogy of the small and large Lori and I'm trying to think of times that my two Melissas were one with each other, the smaller melding perfectly into the larger whole.It's so funny that blogging didn't even cross my mind as an activity. But it's true--though it's practical function for me is cheap therapy.The song that reminds me of you every time I hear it? Constant Craving. It's playing on a cd that has been in my car for over a week so I am constantly thinking of you. At least once a day when it loops through.

Lori,OMG! Your comment on my blog absolutely freaked me out! Just picture this: I’m watching the BlogHer video for the 2nd time and I’m at the part when you’re talking about mob-victim mentality and all of sudden a message pops up saying I have a comment on my blog; I quickly peak at the comment and…it’s YOU! I’ve still got goosebumps. I’m going to have write about this on my blog. I loved the video – that’s why I’m watching it for the 2nd time. I love the idea of bridges. I work with the Portuguese Fertility Association where I’m head of the network of support groups we’ve set up nation wide. I’ve been trying collate ideas to work with on the blog of our association. And I love the idea of bridges. And how about a bridge with Portugal? Adoption is such an important area in our work. Thank you so much for your comment…it was like getting an autograph from a celebrity!Anna Pires

Ah yes, why can’t laundry (or clean the bathroom for that matter) make me giddy Wise words in your response to #3 and it goes along with the controlling our thoughts theme in the book. Yes, some suffering in physical and there isn’t always a way around it but it is so much worse when we choose to dwell in a bad space along side it. Of course, it is not always easy to let it go but every effort helps a bit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I loved reading your thoughts on this book, esp. about the Big and Small Loris. Such great insight.In fact, if I were to assemble a discussion group on this book, you would be one of the first people on my list to invite because I would so love to hear more of your thoughts regarding the book.
