Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Hi Carol....thank you for being so sweet. So far I like the book. It has gotten me to look at some things in a different way. It's sad that we tend to " lose " ourselves at times...but maybe the journey to recover ourselves will really be precious in the end. With Love & Hugs & Hope...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Dear ...that was so beautiful. It really touched my heart. I remember the days of being unable to cry..and I think some of that contributed to the pain in my body. My beloved Grandma had a huge stack of Lanza records. She did not listen to them often, but once in a while she would announce that she would be playing her records. We al knew what that meant. Grandma needed to cry. She had her own little ritual...first brewing a cup of tea. Then choosing one of her many beautiful, embroidered hankies from her bureau drawer. Then she'd pull out the phonograph, and pick out exactly what she wanted/needed to hear. She put the record on, sat in her chair and cried as she listened. Every once in a while between songs, she'd sip her tea. I would sit on the sofa in pain & wonder. I didn't want to see my sweet Grandma cry! But she knew when she needed to, and was a beautiful example to me of a woman, wise before the days of psychology and therapy. Thank you for sharing Iyanla's writing. It sparked something precious in my heart. Love, Always... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 That's a very moving story about your grandmother, Tess. I'm glad you enjoyed what Iyanla had to say. She has had a very tough past but seems to have triumphed. Re: [ ] Finding Me > Dear ...that was so beautiful. It really touched my heart.
