family of choice


rob lowe's gay brother

this post is dedicated to my sisters and brothers in the blogosphere. there are a few salty characters out there who make my journey so much more savory. each time i visit their blogs, i am wealthier. each time i receive a visit from one of them, i smile from inside.

the strange thing about these online connections that have been forged over the last year and a half, is that the relationships are not validated with a handshake and an iris-to-iris contact, but merely some thoughts and some words. i read their dailies and get to witness joy, wonder, struggle, pain, worry, inquiry, and solution without buying a ticket or scraping my own knee.

and i am offered comfort, support, consolation, and criticism sometimes with agenda, but mostly without. it's an important circle of sistahs that i have in my blogroll. please visit each and every one. i hope they make you smile even one fourth as much as they do me.

thank you, thank you, thank you for warming my hearth, for hearing me out, for tending my wounds, for keeping me right-sized, and helping me feel better. thank you.

This blogbrother needed that, as I continue to be assaulted by a real hater, who actually started to attack my other commenters. I deleted his attack on them, but so far, am allowing it to continue on me. I'm hoping it might help him get sober. He's so isolated and full of self-contempt, and the spewing is the closest he can make to feeling connected, I think.
But I am grateful that you and I have graduated to iris-to-iris contact, as well as the only blog I check every day.

Your posts are typically like a breath of fresh air to me. You have a way of cutting through the crap, getting to the heart of an issue. I appreciate that in a blogger, and in a friend.
