Hi all,
Gwen, stop! Quit apologizing! We all know the person who sent you
that letter made a mistake and was less than complimentary. Her
ill-advised missive and the grief it caused only hurts her, not you.
Tough Love is a good thing but there's a difference between Tough Love
and out-and-out belittling.
If we want to read and proof your scans, then let us do so, eh? If we
think they're in need of improvement we'll tell you. <grrrr> I don't
know who it was that coined that stupid phrase about "words can never
hurt me.", but they were wrong. Words can build up or tear down. They
can give life and hope, or they can deal death and despair. Shoot, if
a word can create light then what makes us think that our own words
have no power? Why do you all think I'm so ready to apologize when my
words cause damage? It's because I know that I've used them to harm and
not to heal. I own my words, therefore, I'm responsible for them. If
I cause damage with them, then it is up to me, and only me, to repair
that damage.
