Thanks Again, from Kathy Broady to You

By Kathy Broady MSW 14 Comments

WOW!

I don’t have any idea why this is the case, but this week, the Discussing Dissociation blog had it’s highest viewing day ever.  Ever!  Since the very beginning back in December 2008 ever!  The highest number of viewers in a single day. This week.

Wow, again!

Maybe Emma and Maizy are just that wonderful?  🙂  They probably think they are.  I think they are too, but even so…  it surely can’t be just Emma and Maizy, lol.  Or is it??!

Whatever it is, and why-ever it happened, I appreciate the readers of this blog.  You’ve been a bright spot in my life, you’ve been encouraging and appreciative, and I thank you for the ways you all have had a positive influence on me.

My life has been in a huge transition in so many ways in 2011 and 2012, and as I’ve written before, sometimes I had connection with the internet, and sometimes not.  Despite my inability to be consistently available to anyone or anything this past year – especially with my web people — the fact that the readers of this blog have continued to be here, and remained supportive, kind, and dedicated has truly been a blessing to my life.

I have all kinds of ideas, hopes, and dreams about where to go and what to do with this blog in future months / years.  As per usual, I have far more creative ideas than I could ever accomplish in one lifetime, so we’ll see how many of my new ideas I actually get done.  The point being, there is a lot of good ahead.  That’s how I view life.  No matter how many difficulties have happened in the past, there are so many positive and beautiful options ahead.

I know that the readers of Discussing Dissociation are not strangers to rough years, difficult times, intense pain, heartbreak, loss, grief, illness, conflict, and death.  I know you all are more than familiar with the dark overbearing powers of the world, and the overwhelming heaviness of trauma, abuse, and cruelty.  You all have seen more horrors than I can shake a stick at, and still you persevere, and grow, and heal, and progress in life.

THAT is amazing.  Even Maizy thinks so. 🙂

So many of you are an inspiration to me.  So many of you have been a shining light in the midst of the most horrible storms.  You have an inner strength and beauty that cannot be squished or squashed or squelched no matter how much torment and evil you have seen.

THAT is an inspiration to me.

So thank you.  Thank you for staying true to yourselves.  Thank you for staying true to your healing.  Thank you for staying invested in the good sides of life.  And thank you for standing by me while I have been here, there, and everywhere.  (My current bouncing schedule isn’t quite over yet, unfortunately, but I know that some things are resolving little bit by little bit.)

And thank you, again, for reading this blog.

You are very much appreciated.

Warmly…

Kathy with Emma and Maizy

    It’s always a pleasure to see you around Kathy. It is no shock to me that you are still packing in the readers. There is so much useful information that you can refer back to over and over again. I know I do that all the time. You are part of the reason I’m blogging over at Pieces and Perspectives now. It is inspirational to see you plugging along even through your own personal trials. Keep it up!!
