Thanks to Linda Vernon, ThisIsUnique, WannaBePhotographer87, and Cat, as well as all of you, I have been inspired to be brave again. To share more of who I am.
Well, most of me anyhow.
Thank you for being part of my journey. It’s like an enigma. A return to innocence.
Ameen.
Thanks for sharing your diary … very nice post .. and very personal.
awww.. thanks! You inspired me to be braver and share who I am. I just wish my schedule wasn’t so busy that I could read and comment on more blogs! My apologies.. eek… Thank you for your support! It means a lot!
You’re so welcome … and you’re doing great – we have a life outside our blog too – and that’s a lot more important. So life that first of all.
It’s really thanks to many of you that I’m stronger, able to deal, and live a fuller life. I really can’t thank all of you enough, and wish I was there for everyone a lot more than I am. guilt. guilt…
Pink, you have to be there for yourself .. first of all – the rest of us will be fine until you have time for us. No guilt trip, please.
Thank you! As I have been like, recovering from bronchitis/pneumonia-ish. You’re soo right. I was reading about my disease to please and how much trouble this gets me into. Thank you for being so kind.
awww.. thanks! You inspired me to be braver and share who I am. I just wish my schedule wasn’t so busy that I could read and comment on more blogs! My apologies.. eek… Thank you for your support! It means a lot!
Live like there is no redo assignment. What a wonderful statement and a lesson that I too have to learn. We have to undo a lot of “conditioning” to get to that point. Love the concept for this post, thanks for sharing your journey.
thank you for sharing part of your life with me!!!!
awww.. I wish I had more time to share more with yours… I have been so absent, and feeling badly about this. How are you? I have missed reading your posts.. entirely my fault.. how are you doing?

Awwww.. haha.. Hello Kitty Writing! I love it!
Sadly, someone else got the Hello Kitty with Wings.. wahh… but that’s okay. I have a drawing of it to comfort me. Hahah..
Thank you soo much! I really tried hard to write legibly as it’s usually chicken scratch.
and somehow that calms me too. 
haha.. Love you like my handwriting!
funny.. i use to write differently too. More crowded. first time I have given myself enough space, to grow, breathe.. somehow that has come out on paper too (much to my surprise actually. )
Thank you..
yes, before I hit publish, i was like holding my breath, totally scared. It’s not easy, and I have removed some pages that were too personal. But at least I can share the majority of who I am..
Thank you for all your support! I will keep this cheer with me this weekend when I teach! Imagining all of you in front row
Pink
!!!!! Awwwwwwwwww Hiya xx You know how you can read someones handwriting

That’s what I see – Now – that being said – Your lovely entries i am zooming into on this mammoth screen of mine !
Your is Uber girl – Uber sweet – Open heart
So I see the art between the words – whom you are

What are You teaching >>>>>>> sounds exciting
and Yes – in heart and spirit I WILL BE IN THE FRONT ROW XXXXXX

C
Thank goodness you’re in front row! I wake up 5am Sat and Sun so hopefully I won’t pass out teaching first aid with a co-instructor this weekend. I’m progressing towards certification but the demands are tough in competition with my university course that is now behind in my study schedule. Ahh…
Wow. You know, having others remind you of your light, is the greatest gift of all. I’ve been feeling really down lately because my so called love life is deflated. But I must remember that love can be found in the kindest of hearts like yours, such friendships and kinships beyond explanation. Thank you for seeing the beauty in me. Even when I don’t see it myself. I really needed this, thank you. Sniffle.
Hopefully, I continue to be brave and share my heart (and renew my site).
Pink.
Good luck My sweet xxxxxx
it’s funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 
YOU DO ………………
What You just wrote is so beautiful ….
My “love life ” is deflated too – very single – But okay with it …….. You know – we are already complete xxxx
gotta be happy with being single
wishing You the best this weekend xxx
i am done done writing for the year and just chilling and making gifts and stuff ,,,,,,,,
you have my email –
so write me xxxxxxxx
love xx C
wooo! I can’t wait to catch up on all your sweet blog posts soon! Today was rough. I ended up bawling because the teaching, some students, and senior instructor were super tough. But the good news is that there was a lot of support and everyone telling me not to quit (even if one of the students said it was the worse effing course they had taken in 12 years and planned to write each and every thing he found wrong). Well. It could only get better from here right? Er… I hope…
yes of course ……..:) always HOPE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
no one should ever stop loving their art form ….
xp
NO ONE XXXX
i’m around xxx was / am really yukked out – about the CT children school and their lives senselessly taken away
but i am around xx
don’t give up xx
I was missing you. Lovely post…your diary, your caligraphy…a courageous post. Somehow caligraphy and hand writing present more of yourself….so lovely friend! Walter
Yes, especially the chicken sketches
It’s definitely more personal. Some pages kept secret, but most I can share freely as all of you have been the best audience, most receptive to who I really am. And sharing this part of me, in this way makes it easier too. Feels more like comfort rather than task. 
You really are a lovely person…and this shared work is in between comfort and task; Walter
Thank you! It’s not easy. Being honest with oneself. Quite the undertaking. My apologies for not having had a chance to read more of your poems. My schedule has been too hectic for words. But know that I cheer you on for each and hope to catch up!
my so dear and lovely friend…receive my warm embrace…full of love…plenty of hope. Keep close. We can share worlds. Walter
So….. Innocent.
Reading diaries always gives me a feeling (don’t know what).
May Allah guide and help us to the straight path.
Jazakullah khairun. I wish I was able to be there more for everyone. It can feel so self-indulgent to be just writing. I hope my schedule gets better next Spring… thank you soo much for your kind words. And may Allah keep us on the straight path. ameen…
Pink.
Pink! There so much wisdom and humor in your diary! I loved reading it. Thanks for letting us take a peek inside your sweet heart!
Awwww..
Thank you for the encouragement! I wish my time expanded so that I can catch up on blogs more. My sincerest apologies. It feels so selfish that I post and not have reviewed more of others musings. Thank you for being such a generous soul. I hope my schedule becomes less hectic. 
You just keep posting! That’s the important part! Truly!
Awww.. thank youuu.. Yeah.. I feel sooo guilty that I have been so behind in reading everyone’s posts as I try to catch up with three weeks worth of school work this holiday season. eeek. But thank you for being that warm smile. It’s toasty and delightful in this brisk weather.
Ah! It’s my pleasure Pink! Good luck with your studies too!
Pink, you are so warm and sensitive and generous of spirit. You have shared your heart with us. What an extraordinary gift. You are an amazing person and I am honored to know you. xoJulia
Awwww… I’m sooo honored to have you smiling at my works! This comment really made my day, thank you. I really needed it. I’m hoping to take your kind compliments with me this weekend as I teach a class in first aid. Eeps! Thank you for reminding me of what I need to remind myself I am. thank youuu
Love to you, my wonderful friend! xoJulia
Much, much love to you toooooo! You wonderful angel!
Wow a really clever way to blog Pink! Love the pictures of your diary pages and you have nice writing
Thank you for sharing you’re personal thoughts and being such an amazing person!

My holidays are going so well thank you, I hope yours are great as well 
Happy New Year! To another splendid year of pursuing our adventures in photography! And learning more about ourselves, our perceptions, our depth in the process! My recent learn was Capture NX2 by Nikon, it’s a must have software! LOVE–let me know if you would like the link, there is a free 60 day trial
Hmmm can I load it if I don’t have a Nikon camera? And happy new year to you too
HAHA! Have a good one!
Absolutely! It takes all jpegs, raw files from Canon
It’s great!
