I have a dear friend who has been through some unspeakable, unbearable things in her life. She made it through them intact, and very grateful for life and its blessings. I admire her immensely. I love her dearly. Something I ADORE about this person is that every time we speak, e-mail or text, she tells me she loves me. When she drives past my house she yells, "I love you!" to me. She tells everyone in her life that she loves them. All the time. She has learned what life is about. It is about learning to love. It is about opening your heart. It is about letting others know they are loved and important. And she is so good at all of that! She values life and the people in it. No one is taken for granted. It doesn't cost a thing. Love only grows when it's given away. It cannot diminish unless we let it diminish within ourselves. That would be a tragedy~and the world has enough tragedies already.

Heather, don't know if you ever get my comments, but your BLOG is such a blessing to me. I wish you would seriously consider publishing it into a real book. I KNOW it would be a BESTSELLER and would bless the lives of so many other people that need to hear and read the insights on life that you have gained through your experiences. We all have the experiences but I don't think we get out of them the hidden blessings that are always attached. You have a gift. Thank you so so much for sharing. I just think you need to share it with the WORLD :)
