So Lovely

Last night I had some cutting, laminating, and coloring of sunbeams and cartoon heads to do so I was up late-late. To keep myself company I finally linked to nie nie's blog, something I've been wanting to do since I heard about her accident, and I read, and read, and read. In fact I read every post. I laughed and cried, and laughed and cried. Finally at 4 am I left paper and plastic cuttings strewn on the floor and crawled into bed, but she has changed my life, I hope forever. She so wholeheartedly embraces her role as a woman, a wife, a mother. I feel like being more wholesome, from what I eat to how I live. I want to be more feminine, more sure of myself. I want to follow more of my passions and make my dreams happen. I want to love my husband more, to cherish my children more. I feel enlightened, and I'm so grateful. I hope you'll go read it too, and then pray for their recovery.

No kidding. I read her entire blog in the course of 3 days. I have just been amazed with what a happy, positive and creative person she is.

sarah & i have been talking about her and have both loved reading her blog. i've also spent late nights being "hooked" - it's like reading a good novel you can't put down. i'm kinda sad it's over. i can't stop thinking about her and her heart-breaking situation.

I have been feeling similarly with Josh Pack's blog...life is so precious.

I gave myself eye strain reading NieNie. Couldn't put her down. I, too, hope I'll keep the lessons I learned from her. What an awesome example.
But really, Kate, you are quite a bit like her already.
