I subscribed to her email newsletters, writing tips, and well, pretty much everything I can get my hands on that's free, through email. She's got some incredibly wonderful tips and information on writing for YOU, and has been a great help through my process. I highly suggest, and encourage, any of you who write, to check out her page. I'm going to do this blog for a few posts. It's got great information!

Yes, lots of times...Even if I become an outcast for my beliefs...I stand up no matter what.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
DeleteThanks D!
This is second nature to me, mostly because of my belief system. I'm a pagan and, even in this enlightened age, many people hear that word and immediately think devil worship/satanism. So yes, I've spent a great deal of time patiently explaining to people that I cannot worship something I don't believe exists (Satan is a Christian idea), and no I don't dance around cauldrons naked on hilltops (honestly, in England? Don't they know how bloody cold it gets out there?) *grin*
ReplyDelete[makes mental note] does NOT dance naked around cause it's just too cold. haha
DeleteI understand how that feels. And I have another friend who's a Satanist. I'd imagine she has similar conversations with people. Naivety isn't a fun thing to deal with.
Thanks Mojo!
Yep--on a regular basis, for as long as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth!
DeleteYes, and it felt sooo good because I'm generally so quiet.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Adelia! Way to go! :D
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting!
Always. Recently i had a falling out with a couple family members due to various issues....these people were taking advantage of too much help & kindness when THEY wanted it, then when advice etc was given they ignored it. So when one of them really needed help everyone went running, then it bit us all on our backsides. They then took it out on my mum & insulted her with everything they could throw at her. Obviousy i stood up for my mum & laid bare everything we had all done for them for the past few months. A long story short we ended up in a huge row & it finished with me saying right now you need to say sorry to not only my mum & dad but now me as well. I had put up with too many lies from them & got fed up with it all. My mum also thanked me for standing up for her. So now when i get that phone call my first response is gonna be 'are you ringing to say sorry?' if it's a no then i'm hanging up.
ReplyDeleteYou need to stand up for what you think is right & if people don't like it then it's their problem at the end of the day. In my example they need to learn that although we are all willing to help we also won't have our help taken advantage off.
Good for you! I'm sorry you guys had to have that falling out, but I agree with that. Sometimes people need to understand that just because one person is willing to bend over backward to help (or more than one person, that is), that doesn't mean that it's to be taken for granted.
DeleteKudos to you, and I sure hope they do call you up to apologize.
Thanks Donna!
