When I finally move, my priority has to be a computer that actually works. I get tired of winding up the key on this computer! :)<br /><br />I have never heard of that show. However, I can understand that it's poignant to you. I do know that you are most intuitive with your video selections. Well, I do know on the rare occasions they load up.<br /><br />Take care, dear lady and enjoy your weekend.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-8816466249868288012014-05-23T12:40:01.377-04:002014-05-23T12:40:01.377-04:00Arlee ~ Sorry I locked up your computer.

I don't recall precisely.<br /><br />Briane P. ~ Well, okay:)<br /><br />Sandra ~ :D<br /><br />rosey ~ Thank you for sharing your story. I have heard songs on the radio that have affected me in profound ways. I think that music carries within it the possibility of reaching into your soul. When we are feeling vulnerable we are always more open to being touched. And that sounds like precisely what happened. It was the catalyst so that you could let go of all that painful junk.<br /><br />Shoes ~ Is it focused or crazy? I think the jury is still out.<br /><br />LD ~ Yeah, I miss it.<br /><br />Julie ~ You just can't predict what will be the thing that helps you make it through the tough times. Glad you enjoyed the clips!<br /><br />Andrea ~ If I recall correctly, it was on a Friday night on CBS back in the early to mid-90s. Not a great time slot, but it had a solid following. Made me very sad when they pulled the plug.<br /><br />Elizabeth ~ Ah, yes, I can relate to that all too well. At the time, I just didn't know what sort of relationship I would have with ex's kids and the seed sewing hit me in just the same way. We have to trust that however it turns out, it is okay. It is enough. You did your best. And the same goes with your mom... as you know...<br /><br />Sia ~ I can't say enough good things about this show.<br /><br />Al ~ Aha. So maybe that first one was more for you than I thought. I did think of you and am glad now that I said so... or you might not have watched it and missed the message meant JUST FOR YOU.

When you have a big change of circumstance we get lost sometimes. Who are we? Yes, so you got that one. We also spend some time figuratively rooting around in the garbage just trying to find some purpose. Meaning. And then there was the poem at the end. What if your poem was somehow captured forever, but you, the writer, got lost somewhere in the future. Would it make your poem any less? No. Sometimes we forget that it is the essence of the thing that matters. Notre Dame isn't any less because the artist's name has been lost as time has flowed on.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-82826385119307543632014-05-23T12:27:20.645-04:002014-05-23T12:27:20.645-04:00I read your Van Morrison review and the bit on the...I read your Van Morrison review and the bit on the last meet with Kelly. I didn't comment there because I was afraid I would forget to go back and read your response if there was one.<br /><br />I find it amazing how God works. You were given a gift that day, as was Kelly. You both walked away knowing that you were "good again." That made it possible for you to accept his death without punishing yourself and you know that you, in no way, factored into his choice. Forgiveness all the way around. That is such a blessing. Yes, thank God for forgiveness.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-74272140925006057252014-05-23T11:39:26.227-04:002014-05-23T11:39:26.227-04:00ROBIN ~

I will watch all 4 episodes on the disc (not just the one you excerpted here) and I'll see if it does anything for me. If so, then maybe I'll collect my $200 and start from "GO". <br /><br />I really wasn't even sure if I had ever posted that "Kelly" Review on my blog, but in searching, I found it at 'Stuffs', posted 3 years ago:<br /><br />http://stephentmccarthysstuffs.blogspot.com/2011/11/fantabulous-or-happy-birthday-kelly.html<br /><br />That was a close call.

And words that are meant to give comfort do not. Mostly because there aren't any words that will give comfort. I struggled with my dad's death for a LONG time and that was even after he came very clearly to me in dreams several times and we had amazing conversations and I KNEW he was okay. Better than okay. Ultimately, accepting that made it easier. I have more family on The Other Side than this one and it makes me feel better to know that they are always around me even when I don't see them. They are rooting for me all of the time.<br /><br />I think that Jesus came here with many BIG messages. But one of the biggest was to change the way people saw God. Before Jesus, the church had built God up to be the God of vengeance. The church used God as a weapon to tithe people beyond their capacity. God was to be feared. And they set themselves up as God's "hand." Jesus said, "No" to all of it. God is NOT that. God is the Father. We are His children. God loves us like a Father loves his children. God wants your best and celebrates in your victories and cries with you in your sorrow... just as your own father would do.<br /><br />I don't think God does a lot of head shaking. I think that people are far more judgmental than God is. He is the purest form of love. And your sister gets to experience that love in the purest form possible. I think that all of the people who are in heaven have it much better than anyone down here.<br /><br />Just a thought... I already suggested that StMc watch this show. Why don't you give it a whirl? The worst that can happen is that it doesn't speak to you at all and you gave a few hours to something that doesn't turn your crank.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-56650647759235294982014-05-23T10:30:17.446-04:002014-05-23T10:30:17.446-04:00Well since you thought on me for the first one, an...Well since you thought on me for the first one, and I dont believe in coincidences, I watched it too. So it happens I can make good use of the message about not giving up to relationships. Nobody knows it but I have been struggling with that thought lately like way too much. Way too much. So the lucky me got two messages instead of one. Talking about things you're meant to hear.

I love that song. I think it was ...First, the song. I love that song. I think it was on Martina's Emotion album and the whole thing is good. That might be my favorite. Of course, it was a B-side and most people have never heard it. Anyone who has experience the death of a loved one, but particularly a death by suicide, will "get" this song. And I would love to read the review in which you mention your friend. Isn't it pretty great that he lives on via your words?<br /><br />I will answer your question. Yes, that episode is coded as you think. Of course, you can watch just that one... but it won't mean as much to you unless you watch the rest. Ironically, I was *this close* to sending you the first season when I returned your movies. BUT... you indicated that you really only enjoyed comedies, sitcoms, and wanted to laugh. And while this might have some Chuckle Moments it is mostly serious stuff. Plus, as I mentioned this is my favorite TV show ever and I really didn't want you to tell me you didn't like it. Not that it would change anything for me... It just felt like me not listening to you. I could hear you thinking to yourself, "I told her I only watch funny stuff and she sent me something I will have to return that I don't even want to watch." <br /><br />I have taken the Long Way Around (again) to tell you that my instincts said you would like this show and it would speak to you in surprising ways. I was all set to surprise you with it. Then, after finding out you really don't like a drama of any kind I doubted myself and didn't sent it at all. And, now, here we are, I should have listened to my gut. Duh.<br /><br />The good news is that this isn't a disaster, you can rent it from Netflix. However, I do suggest you start at the beginning. This show only ran two seasons (they always cancel the good ones, so this is just par for the course). It ended on a cliffhanger because the show didn't know it was cancelled until after they shot the last episode. Boo CBS.<br /><br />When God whispers so clearly in your ear that you KNOW "these are not my thoughts... this is coming directly from The Source" that is powerful stuff. As for you being featured here... I don't think it is coincidence either. Sometimes we need to get a message from a couple of different places in order for us to fully comprehend it.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-18883193280178398922014-05-23T09:55:43.966-04:002014-05-23T09:55:43.966-04:00While I've heard of Joan of Arcadia, I've ...While I've heard of Joan of Arcadia, I've never watched it.

When I finished the post and realized how LONG it was, I doubted my choice. It is akin to having a loaded plate of food... sometimes it just looks like lots of chewing.<br /><br />I liked this clip for so many reasons. One, the director of the play was God, but not a persona she had seen before. So, even though she and God spoke many times SHE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS HIM. She only finds out when they are crawling on the stage to get her to "the moon" and it clicks. And she says something to indicate she JUST NOW FIGURED IT OUT. And he says, "That's cute. I can still surprise you." Two, while the audience is loving the play (as the set falls down, mistakes happen, the set catches fire) Joan is complaining to the director (God), "This is a disaster. Make it stop." And He says something like, "They love it. It's wonderful." Third, I liked watching Joan's personal switch flip as she went from thinking This Is A Disaster to This Turned Out Pretty Great. Fourth, I like that she is getting better at looking at one experience (the play) and parlaying that out into her current life experience (choosing college) and seeing that it is all interconnected.<br /><br />That last one is something that people who have been following you for a while got to watch you sort out in your own mind. As you say, you are a woman who started a blog about a move to Texas and four years later you are moving to SoCal. And it is pretty great.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-84285847571734246332014-05-23T09:29:27.921-04:002014-05-23T09:29:27.921-04:00Robin, thank you so much!

Years ago my brother had a step daughter and when he got divorced, we lost all contact with my former sister in law and her little girl. I loved them both and it was heart breaking to never speak to them again. So, the seeds was perfect. I also have a tendency to make everything my problem and get in way over my head and stressed out. My dad used to tease me...there are children starving in China, what are you going to do about it? It was his way of reminding me that I can't fix everything. <br /><br />I'm so lucky to have never experienced divorce and I sometimes I need a reminder that some problems are really not problems.

I'm glad you found what you needed, when you needed it. I was driving the highway home from work one day, same highway I always took, nothing different, and a song came on the radio that got me so emotional (out of the blue and out of the ordinary) that I had to pull over. I didn't know I needed it (a big loss in our family), but it worked like a charm for me (because I sure did need to cry I guess, or let it go, whatever it was). I'm glad things find us when we need them (or vice versa).mail4roseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850985344834209198noreply@blogger.com
