I am looking at the little tiny "zinnia like" flowers you sent and dreaming of when I can post a picture of them in my sunny southern garden. happy new year friend.chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-21662793710324446702012-01-02T12:26:25.360-04:002012-01-02T12:26:25.360-04:00I just ordered this book from Amazon yesterday!

I think the pain might ultimately be worth it (my 2 cents).<br /><br />I'm at a place in my life where I can't imagine "not" trying to at the very least "lighten" their heaviness because they are holding me back. I am holding myself back. My boots are mostly made of fear & fear that is incapacitating in so many ways. Fear that takes up way too much space in my heart & head. Fear I want to stop thinking about & fear that I am determined to lessen. <br /><br />"sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living" JSF<br /><br />your blogger profile does not link to your blog - the next time you comment could you provide the blog name or link. thanks xo SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-5019989599352858762012-01-02T10:34:43.862-04:002012-01-02T10:34:43.862-04:00Having worn them since I was 5 years old, I can...Having worn them since I was 5 years old, I can't even undo the laces now. I'm not sure that I could function without them - a bit like Chinese women with their bound feet. Taking them off would be such a painful process, I just hunker down and accept that they are there.the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-80392393100694904612012-01-02T10:06:55.668-04:002012-01-02T10:06:55.668-04:00I do believe that you've seen me wearing runne...I do believe that you've seen me wearing runners & flip flops & even going barefoot ... somehow this year I want to actually "feel" & remember the feeling of wearing those shoes.<br />loveya, xoxo SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-60275456733248701122012-01-02T10:04:48.328-04:002012-01-02T10:04:48.328-04:00Oh man, when I read this book I totally understood...Oh man, when I read this book I totally understood the description of heavy boots.
