Than...Katherine, <br />We live and learn, don't we? <br />Thank you once again for the opportunity you created here on your blog for other writers to voice what's important to them, and for asking me to join the inspiring line-up.

As an artist you're sensitive to all the different interpretations of your work. Sticking to your gut feeling is not always easy, but knowing to trust yourself will let your heartfelt intentions come through. Well done.Gary Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044132524321948422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-66594967857514335902012-01-22T09:12:29.880-08:002012-01-22T09:12:29.880-08:00Judith-I hear you on this one.

Your post and story give me courage again to stand up for what I have to say and write. I did this in my book and on this blog and I hope I can continue to do this in life as well. It takes a lot of bravery to trust your voice when others don't or when others are handing out criticism or suggestions on what to write, say, etc. But the people I truly admire are the ones that stand up and say, "No, this is my truth and I"m not changing it." Bravo to you!Katherine Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732133918969183030noreply@blogger.com
