The Best Things In Life Aren't Things

Validation....something we shouldn't seek from anyone but God, but it sure feels so good when we get it from our peers anyway!

Here is just a sample of some of the validation that always makes my day!  Thank you to all who share in my life here, I value your encouragement and the insight you share with me SO MUCH!

"I just wanted to say thanks for just being you and being willing to share your struggles and the things God is doing. It's encouraging to know that I’m not the only one with some of the same struggles, and that we are really in His hands."

"I love how you've worded that. It's EXACTLY what I find myself doing these last couple of weeks, too. It's like we're TWINS!!"

"hey, I read your blog! I find your weight loss experience so inspirational, I love it! Go Lori Go! Woo!"

"Your attitude and honesty is refreshing."

"Lori my dear, Ah, I love how you write, and I love how you organize your thoughts and your life and I find you very inspirational! Thank you for being so transparent!"

"Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! That second paragraph says it PERFECTLY."

"Awesome analogy, Lori! Beautiful post!! "

"Thanks Lori. That was some pretty good insight and a nice kick to my bum. Appreciate the insight and your honesty."

"You never cease to amaze me. I am honoured to have someone like you in my life."

"Hi Lori -- I just want you to know I updated myself with your life via your blog yesterday -- and now I finally have time to tell you that! I am so PROUD of you on so many levels, Lori ! :)"

"You are a leader...and have always been one...don't doubt yourself!!"

"You are more amazing than you know. Don't ever forget that!"

"Yes, yes, YES!!!! GREAT post, Lori!! A brilliant parallel and sobering thoughts."

"Nice. Great thoughts. I am going to link this on my blog."

"Thank you so much for this post. It's inspirational to women who are untouched and redemptive to women who are marred. Thank you for sharing."


"Oh Lori. I just don't know what to say. If I could, I'd offer to hug you and let you lay it on me for a while. To just sit with you and listen. But a virtual {{{{{hug}}}}} will have to do. And some prayers."

"Good rant!! Very well said."

"Loved this post."

"I think this blog post touches my heart in so many ways that it's hard to explain..."

"Yes!"  "Amen sister"

"I love the way you write. You’re so honest. I mean honestly honest....You open up your insides and allow us to see what's there. The beauty of who you are and what makes you you and what breaks your heart. I love the way you have embraced your pain. I love the way you share your pain.
You make me cry and laugh. Thank you for that. Thank you for being you. Thanks for being my friend."

"I am love love LOVING your daily blog posts! Love!"
