I feel I need to leave a comment so I can keep up on my mobile when I can’t get on the computer. This blog is one site I feel I belong even when I can’t post.

You ladies should read Rori’s post on Linda’s letter and my comment. It’s a good one. Not one I can totally relate to, but click on the link because her perspective on it is wonderful!

Much Love,
Mercedes

Thanks so much, Rori for your feedback. I had originally composed a much different letter, but with the help of the wonderful girls on this blog, I was able to write this one.
We’ll see if/how he responds. It should be very telling.
I tried to talk to my Mom about this and she panicked, “oh no, you should have ignored his email completely.” So I began to doubt myself.
I am trying very hard to surround myself with as many dates as possible, especially after he disappointed the first time.
My time is very limited, kids, parents, (my mom is in the hospital, I feel so guilty trying to date throughout), school, work, but I am beginning to meet some very caring and nice men on line that I am trying to make time for.
I am listening astutely to Targeting MR Right for the second time.
As far as sex, how do I maneuver this issue: I live with my 11 year old twins and my two elderly parents. I cannot have anyone sleepover here under any circumstances. What are my best options, not only for sex, but for being alone with a man?

Hearbeat – I LOVE this. You DID have fun. Yayyyy!! (I’m such a kid). I love driving around too. Again, part of my living in towns without knowing folks. I get in the car and put on music and sing (always badly) and finally learned that even when I got lost – it ended up coming in handy down the road (HA -pun wasnt intended).

I love music so much and remember when my brother was in a band and how fun and so must feel so exciting for you to see happening for your son.

I relish your recognition that you have improved with age. Past is past – you were a goddess then too but now you feel it – that’s success!!

DocK – hi! Great to hear from you. Yeah my car is my therapy, so I went to see my son who is on tour with his band. They were amazing! I filled up. Such dark intense energy they have. My baby is a shouty man now. They just got signed – I feel so proud. I took his girlfriend and one of the other girlfriends too, we travelled 80miles there in the sunshine, and watched a partial eclipse of the moon as it got dark. And yes, i did feel proud of myself, and so blue too – and Rori’s e-letter today on the Pick Up Tool hit the nail yet again!

I liked your point about good-looking women often being the most insecure (might be on another post, I’m on a blog catchup day today). I’ve learnt some amazing lessons from women who have fascinated me in their ability to be adored by their men (fathers, husbands, brothers) without being obsessed with looks. I was a plain child, later pretty but felt unattractive. I feel I’ve improved with age in every way, though I’m hitting 50 this year and noticing some sadness about not having loved myself when I was young and far more beautiful than I thought I was.

What a treasure-filled exchange, here.

Let’s center around Linda G and your long distance man.
1. If there were more than him around you, you wouldn’t feel so caught up with him – yes, it’s about your energy being pulled over there, the expectation, the hope – If you can work with this one, you’ll make some huge leaps for yourself.

2. I really, really liked the email you put together. It feels natural, real, compassionate, truthful and personally powerful.

3. Mercedes – here’s my take on your demonstration letter for Linda G’s situation – I’m putting it all in a new post…

Heartbeat – I love that you took yourself out. Moving around as I have, had to do that a lot. It is now something that I still really enjoy and even feel like I “need” to have in my life even when I get to know lots of people. What did you end up doing? Where did you go? Did you feel proud of yourself?

Linnie, so amazing too – one of the things I have believed in for some time is that it is possible to speak truth but still be peaceful and loving. I feel Rori is helping us to learn this as well. All of you, such a wonderful exchange it feels so warm and supportive to “see” it (and feel it : ) )

Sounds great to me too, Linnie – very honest and clear, warm and open too. I relate to your dilemma with words and I feel joyful you’ve written such a fabulous response. It feels good also to witness sirens helping one another.
