Thanks for your comment, Denim! I’m so glad you liked the post. I guess all writers have their own “favs,” and I admit, this one had a lot of juice for me!

I thought your interpretation was quite apt, re: vulnerability (glass walls, etc.; I hadn’t caught that). Cool. Only one amendment: I have been a highly introspective person since forever, but you are right in that writing this blog and reflecting on (and responding to) the comments certainly demands a more rigorous attention to introspection on a more regular basis. I try not to be too hasty in my responses, even when I’m upset (or make that, ESPECIALLY when I’m upset), although sometimes (like the situation with the Doug comment) I feel time is of the essence, especially if I feel there’s faulty or damaging information being voiced. I feel a huge sense of responsibility as to what is presented on this, my very own little blog space, and I am commited to accuracy on all counts, as much as humanly possible.

Also, I like to let visitors who take the time to respond to my posts KNOW they’re appreciated and valued, and responding in a timely basis is part of that respect and appreciation. I admit that having to be responsive in a timely manner feels like part of my own personal treatment for my ADHD symptoms, procrastination being a large part of my ADHD repertoire!

Thanks again for your insightful comment!

Thank you SO MUCH, In Hoc Signo Vinces!
The pep talk is most appreciated. It’s so hard for me to slow down, after 51 years of messing up. I just need to breathe (as you say) and trust that it will all unfold as its meant to. Your comment is most appreciated!
Cheers,
Z.
