Snow is the only thing I do not agree with Lorelai about. I blame Emily and Richard for the trauma she faced as a child which led to her confusion about snow.

I don’t know who to blame for your confusion. Oh wait. Maybe I do — and it’s not me, that’s for sure.

Sorry you’re sick – but you’d darn well better not be sick when you arrive here, I’m tired of catching the crud from you. Heh.

Thank you RJ, as you will always be known to me. But you should know, part of my inspiration is you. Yes, you.

You are so talented. You are so amazing. You drive Denise nuts which I adore (teee hee hee….I KID DENISE, kinda) but mostly you picked me to look up to. And it took ME a really long time to figure out why. Here you have these amazingly strong and inspirational women in your home and you read some blog passed down by your Mom or Denise and it’s ME you decide is worthy of your praise. This baffles me, but makes me proud at the same time.

I want to make sure you are always proud of me. And I want to always be PROUD of you. That means listening to Denise occasionally but mostly, it means continuing to grow as a writer and as a woman. The woman YOU want to be. The one in there, scratching to get out…because trust me, these years you are in suck it hard. And your head is probably in 40 differently places at once.

I knew i wanted to write I just didn’t know how or where. Throw in crushes and typical school drama and the like and it’s so easy to lose sight of what is truly important: that you grow as a writer and follow that dream to the ….well, not to the end… to the SPARKLE.

You know your Mom helped me get over a lot of my issues with this illness. She’s a wise woman, listen to her. That doesn’t mean there aren’t days I want to smash the mirror instead of standing in it and telling myself I’m fabulous…but…. those are coming less frequently now.

Now I’m babbling. I just wanted to say thank you. Coming from you, it means a lot Because i adore you and I don’t want to let you down- or give you a bad example. But I hope I’m being honest, and showing women that these feelings happen no matter how strong or healthy or put together our lives seem to be. They just happen. Thank goodness we are surrounded by amazing women who tell us to cut the crap and change the way to we think about beauty.

And it’s working.

Their diabolical plan to over throw the patriarchy is working

Yes that is definitely a great story! Guess branching out is a pretty great thing after all
