Qis, Anne & Cristy…thank you so much for your kind words. *Hugs to you all*

I will continue to write and share my journey. And as Qis said: “And if some people leave because it’s not what they hope for or need, others will come.” I am hoping this is the case. Just like friends, the readers who accept me will stick around, others will leave and new ones will arrive. Stay tuned for the next part of my journey.:)

It’s ok, even expected, to grow and change in some areas and stay the same in other areas. I still love your blog and think you’re pretty awesome!

The essence of life is change with any struggle against it being a futile waste of what could be productive, ‘seize the moment’ energy.

All any of us can do is carry on looking forward with some (you being one) willing to share the journey.

Trust me, you NEVER know what might happen next …

How sad that doing something creative and kind – the ‘zines, this blog – might be turned back to cause you distress. That anyone who found you through your work would think it important to try to define you, require you to behave in scripted ways in order to keep your counter-cultural credentials.

Please, say what you need to say and go where your curiosity and the specifics of your life take you. Your authentic experience is valuable whatever paths you take.

And if some people leave because it’s not what they hope for or need, others will come.

Also? Thank you.

Comment on Frugal Alternatives to expensive Beauty Products by freya1970

Hi Heidi, when I finished the Physician’s Formula, I found an E.L.F. one which was only $3 and worked just as well, but to be truthful, the Physician’s Formula is a better alternative as it does not have talc and the ELF one does. I actually stopped using a correcting powder, my tinted moisturizer seems to be doing the job! I used it to even out my skin, not for redness so I am not sure how well it works for redness. Clinique has a mineral redness powder that apparently works wonders for redness so perhaps you can look into that. Here it is: http://reviews.macys.com/7129/364897/clinique-redness-solutions-instant-relief-mineral-powder-reviews/reviews.htm

Good luck!

I’m considering purchasing the Physician’s Formula Mineral Wear Correcting Pebbles, and I was wondering if you still like them as much as you did a year ago? Did you use them to correct redness in your complexion?

Thanks for the risotto idea Anne, I might do that too with next week’s asparagus bunch! Hope the sun will come out for you soon, I know all too well what it’s like to be without sun for 3 weeks as I live on the coast. You were born in Brantford? COOL!

Comment on Rant Alert: The End of an Era & The Beginning of Change by Bethany

Congrats on leaving!You gotta do what is best for you. Our community is GREAT, but some of the people we have ran into are not. I question if I should leave or not, because job opportunities are not there for my boyfriend. It is so hard to make these types of decisions, and I am glad you are doing this for yourself.

We need to be Facebook friends. I do have some “conservative” views sometimes, but I get so angry when I get on Facebook and all it is is people bitching about their 9-5 Monday through Friday jobs! They have steady jobs, HOUSES, husbands, etc. I get so fed up. But luckily I have some people that encourage discussion, generosity and the like.
