Astonishing

Ten days ago I uploaded my last post in which I wrote about my old boyfriend, Kevin. What happened next was crazy, because on average I receive about 40-60 hits to my blog per day...depending on whether or not I've posted.

But when I uploaded that post, it was like that shampoo commercial, where someone read it and told a friend, who told a friend, who told a friend, and so on, because by the end of the day I'd had almost 900 hits...all because of that post.

Here is my blog hit meter image from that week

Kinda reminded me of this skyline









The thing that astonishes me is that this topic has such resonance with so many. While there wasn't a comparable increase in comments, I've received a number of email and Facebook messages about it, and this feedback has been so telling.


There are a lot of people out there who are stuck in boxes, who need, or want, to get out, but who don't know how.

My dearest hope is that if you are one of them, that you somehow discover the wherewithal, gumption, support, courage, motivation, sheer will of force, whatever it is that you need, to find your way clear of the situation.

Because life can be beautiful. You can be free. Healing is available. You are lved.

And if I can help, and you have no where to turn, please let me know. Because I've been there. And I know how it feels. You can leave me a comment, or email me: BlueJeuls@gmail.com


Grateful for:


1) The angels in my life. I've been thinking a lot about you lately.

2) Music. Sometimes it's the only thing...

3) Surprises. The happy ones at least.

It was a very well writen post and very enlightening - since I, thankfully, haven't experienced something like that.

Blue, someday I hope to see you again. I love how true you are on your blog.
