What an Amazing Week! :-)

December 23, 2007 Posted under: Personal by Caroline Middlebrook

I have had a very strange and intense week. Last Sunday I was at a very low point and I felt like I had to unload all of my personal problems on this blog so that I could be true to myself in my writing over the coming weeks and months.

However, I did not expect what followed. As soon as I published the post I felt a kind of release - all those negative emotions of anger, bitterness, jealousy, loss, rejection etc just vanished overnight. Literally the very next morning I felt clear, at peace and like a massive fog had been lifted.

I spent the majority of Monday just reading through all the amazing messages of support that I received in response the post. These have come from everywhere - blog comments, email, Twitter, Facebook etc.

Literally within 24 hours of writing that post, my outlook changed completely. I’ve had a truly wonderful week and I’m feeling happier than I have in a very long time and very positive about my future. I am still unclear about the direction I wish to take my work but I have faith that inspiration will arrive soon, perhaps from one of you :-)

But now I actually feel almost guilty for feeling good because the emails of support are still coming in daily and of course I am doing so much better now that I feel that I am wasting the time of those who are taking the time out to write to me with such kind words.

So I want to once again thank everybody who has sent me their support and all the positive vibes - it certainly worked! One last point - I feel I have gone off-topic enough now so from here on in I intend to get back to business on this blog and focus on Internet Marketing. Thanks for bearing with me over the last week.

Caroline,

I’m glad to see you feeling clear and light and I imagine that you’ll be going through emotional bumps in the months ahead. I hope you have a good support system of people physically close to you to help you through the tough times.

Merry Christmas!

Often, when a person gives support with sincerity both people benefit. Perhaps all of the people who have sent you notes of support have had the opportunity to allow their “human-ness” to peek out for a second.
Thank you for allowing us a chance to know you

(PS: now get back to work :} )

Everyone calls me POPS . Yes , you can to ! I feel like I know you even though we will never met. Your like a daughter that
I could talk too .

Your List Is more than just a way to keep track of the special people God has brought into your life to love.

It’s like a treasured scrapbook filled with pleasant memories of all the times God has answered prayer through friends and family.

Every name is a touchstone that leads to a place and time where God has used another’s heart to reach out and touch ours.

It may have happened years ago or even yesterday , but every person on your list has changed your life some way .

Through simple posts on your Blog ,you have helped every person on your list to grow laugh and learn . The blessings will never end as God allows our paths to cross as Friends.

Please know that this more than a wish. It’s a Thank You
for allowing us to be on your List.

Even at this time of Christmas joy, You show it everyday of the year.

Marry Christmas!

Caroline,

I just want you to know what peaked my interest in you and your blog. I don’t know in what context, but I remember the reason I went to your site is because you mentioned something about ‘local’ being very important to a blog, and/or bloggers. So I came to your site. What really got me interested was your section on projects. I keep coming back to see the progress on your projects.

I first joined your blog through the 30DC, and have been following your progress ever since, yours is the first blog I look for when I open my reader and I always look forward to reading your contributions, you have a great talent and I’m so glad you are on the mend, Blogland needs more people like you, and be assured rewards will follow.
Have a great Christmas, and a happier New Year.

Caroline,

Wow, how amazing that you are strong and beautiful and confident enough to write about your experience and share it with all of us. Thank you for having the courage to do so and to inspire your readers to face their own fears and emotions.

So glad you are feeling better.
