I have received feedback from a handful, out of 2500 people, that including my children on this blog their pictures or their names can be viewed as a negative. Unfortunately this feedack got back to them, I am confused with this view point. Facebook is much more personal, and anyone who views their kids facebook will see many more pictures posted and much more information exchanged. Concern especially because this is a blog on their mom who is writing about her journey through cancer..something I hoped that they could always have as a positive inspiring journal that includes their support for me and my love and pride for them in this journey.
I will continue on the positive wave of the many others following this blog. I am grateful through my travels that this blog stretches out world wide, and hope it helps many. I will continue to find the positives in this journey, if I waste too much time in the lows, I will lose out on any opportunity to really fight this illness, to find the joy and the many gifts and blessings that are there if you are open to receiving them.
A couple of quotes to share with you;
Lance Armstrong. said, “If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell.” Lance Armstrong obviously didn’t give up. He fought with vigor and unstoppable belief in his recovery.
Margaret Mead said, “We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems.” People with cancer have often turned their cancer into great opportunities. Many people use their cancer to reach out to others in need and still others find a way to finally let others reach out to them. Very often, cancer changes people for the better even when things couldn’t look much worse.
We choose to fight like Hell!
Stacy,

Stac,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading any of your blogs, it is so obvious how you embrace life! You are showing me how to be a more postive individual, something every parent should teach their child, like you have done with your kids. Thankyou Stac!.....Luv Deb
Don't try to win over the haters, you are not the jerk whisperer. Not including your children would be ludicrous. People live in deep fear and most do not have your wisdom, humor and good sense. When they have a blog, they can include (or not) whomever they wish. Our children are our hearts, our teachers, our purpose. To not include them would be to deny your most precious connections. It would also be unhealthy for them. Full disclosure, total honesty and unconditional love. These are the new tools of parenting. Keep it real and always trust your kids. That's why they are your kids. Love and blessings to all of you.

Stac, I can't imagine NOT including your kids!!! They are such an important part of your life, of this journey. They will be the biggest recipients of whatever happens in all of this. And THEY need to know how they've blessed you, how much they mean to you, how you shared what they mean to you with the world. Don't give the negative feedback a second thought. Keep fighting, keep being your positive, joyful self! God bless you, friend! Love, Rebecca
ReplyDeleteWell my dear friend as I've shared already never mind what anyone says to you . . . follow every passion in your being at this moment, surround your self with ONLY things and people who make you feel wonderful and make you laugh out loud really hard, and feed your soul with love (and that includes posting as many pictures of all your children and family and friends and adventures as you wish, and telling all your stories) . . . anything or anyone that operates from a place of fear and therefore wants to be judgemental . . . one word DELETE!
ReplyDeleteMuch love, light and happiness,
Diana & Shelby
