I am a late Blog bloomer and I can’t tell you how much the wondrous ideas and instructions at Mandarin Design by Michelle has encouraged me onward.
I posted two articles about Michelle’s website without realising that Michelle left a legacy.
Now, I have created a special link for Michelle at my Blog for her great work and truly masterful knowledge that she has given to bloggers universally.
We miss you Michelle!

Hey Jeneane – that’s OK – I was not as insensitive to the depths of people’s feelings as I would have hoped to be. I’m not a good communicator.

I hope that someone with more talent than me (and that would be just about any of you ) will mine Meg’s site for all her tips from day one and put them up somewhere permanently before the site goes away

Interesting that AKMA suggested honoring her by using what she left us — the creativity of her codes — because I started to do that just last night. We honor Meg by demonstrating how much we value what she valued. While very few of us get what we deserve, Meg got an overabundance of what she didn’t at all deserve (if I’m understanding her documentation of her divorce process). Such overwhelming injustice!!!!

Hey doug–sorry i was so crass. But I accepted it the minute I found out. It’s not OKAY, but I accepted it.

The thing is: you can’t let go until you grieve. the bypass doesn’t work. pay me now or pay me later. the ‘later’ comes back in the form of stuck grief, which we know by a moe familiar name: depression.

ergo, how we got here in the first place.

((plus in this instance i had some concerns and information i wanted to share and i did))

that’s all.

Jeneane – you misunderstood me or I misunderstood what Mike meant. Grieving and letting go are two separate things not to be confused with each other. Letting go means accepting the reality of a tragic event, moving on but not forgetting, cherishing the memories and love of that friendship. I never said you shouldn’t grieve the loss of Meg.
