I always say, follow your intuition for what feels best for yourself. I like your words, “...letting the situation go, releasing it to the wind.” Very healthy thinking & such a wonderful visual.

Yes, following intuition feels authentic and good inside. Thank you!

I am sorry you had this experience, Mary. Talk about Law of Attraction. This afternoon a close friend & I have been having a conversation about honesty and integrity in people and then I read your article. We’re you able to discuss this matter with the person who did it to you?

Thank you for reading my piece, Susan. No, I am letting the situation go, releasing it to the wind and making room for opportunity. That feels best to me.

My friend, Mary, that someone would take your words and your thoughts and claim them as their own means, to me, they have none of their own. How tragic for them! My inner truth is being challenged by individuals who claim to support “the cause”. I’m working vigilantly to get my family’s stories out to gain support, but I’m not getting a sufficient traction. I’m being told that it would be so much easier if I had a published book. Well, I’m working on it. Meanwhile, I don’t want to lose support—or maybe I’m looking for support in the wrong places…

Ahhh, the "It would be easier if you had a published book" advice. Truly, is there a more unhelpful piece of advice??? I don't think you're looking for support in "the wrong places," I think that some people/institutions don't see the vision. I have some ideas. I will message you via Facebook. Thank you for taking the time to share your inner truth here!

What happened and how’d you find out about it?

Oh, not worth the details, but thank you for asking! (and thank you for reading my piece). The person knows who they are, and that's all that matters. Mom told me long ago, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them."

Oh, I'm so sorry that happened to you!

Thank you. Me too. Oh, well. It gave me something to write about today.

That's a very positive way to think about it!

It's "laugh or cry," isn't it? I choose, laugh. (sometimes, I choose cry and then laugh)
