So, today was an ironic one. Earlier this morning my mom, AKA "The Nana" was talking to me about my blog. She said that she liked it, but thought that it would be better for me not to say "fuck" or "the F word" is how she explained it on my blog. I, chuckled and kindly responded "well ummmm... Yes, its there and is going to stay there. That's the whole point of my blog. To have the freedom to write what I am thinking, and not sugar coat it".
I tried to explain that point, and I hope that I did so with regard to her feelings. Of course you want to be able to express yourself, but also do not have to be rude getting your point of cross. So, Nana I hope that I didn't hurt your feelings when I was explaining why I was going to keep being Me.
So, the irony here is that I got an email from a reader (that will remain anonymous, for the sole reason that I think if she wanted her comments to be know then she would have posted on the blog. So, to give her privacy I will leave her name out) that appreciated how I wrote my blog. The honesty behind it, the fact that I was for real, AND liked that I was able to say Fuck... because that is how when all of our guards are down, we as a nation can get our point across.
So, I have been validated! I can be me, and people get it. I, am happy!
Thank you!

You are quit a girl,, way to go! See, I'm alot like you as far as saying what I want and the way I want to say it. Quit honestly I was amazed and loved the way you talked. I told my kids; she talks like us;;; "real people"!! Always though, I was afraid I might offend someone with the way I said things. I did't want people to be shocked. I didn't want people not to like me, so I said things the way I thought they wanted me to. But, now, I say,, that is the way I say it and that is the way I feel and "Fuck It"!! That's been my motto since I turned 50. If you don't like it,,then tuff; talk to someone else. Funny about your story though,, that one is telling you to stop it and one is telling you, way to go girl. I don't know anything about blogs or comments on blogs that is why I sent it to you email. You can, with my blessings, post who wrote it. I am me and you are you and they are they, and anyone who can't understand that,,well too bad!
Thanks so much for reading my blog. Like I said, it's nice to know that I have touched someone in a positive way! and thank you for being you! Love, me
I THINK YOUR ;GREAT LOVE YOU

Hey, It's like my good friend John Mayer sang...
"Knowin' you'd be better off instead, If you could only...Say what you need to say..."
Hehe. But for now I think it is wise for ME to refrain from using the explicit lanugage... Lord knows I wouldn't want to experience the dreaded... HOT PEPPER FLAKES... :0 hehe
