HUMANS CROSSING ~ USE CAUTION ~


Healing Heartaches
Ms Vicki, Irene, DRSES, Laura
"CHRIS WE HAVE OUR WARPAINT ON
WE ARE WITH YOU"

CANCER SUCKS


"They can because they think they can, they do because they worked it through, emotion is motion: and the wanted to do,
even when they didn't think they would."

OK HERE WE GO IT'S FRIDAY!
Chris is through the major surgery of Wednesday! The "girls" are gone! She called me Thursday afternoon, sounded like herself! Not druggy, not tearful...
she has her warpaint on; her attitude...
"Off the hook (aka) OUTSTANDING!
All nodes in left arm gone with "the girls" including the sentinel node. She is cut armpit to armpit she says; pain being managed 12 hours later with percocet?  Yep, that's all folks!
And are you ready for this?
CHRIS WAS ANNOYED BY HER MESSY BED YESTERDAY, ONE DAY AFTER SURGERY...
SO SHE GOT OUT OF BED AND MADE HER BED!
Talk about a "STOMP" attitude ~ haha
Chris will be discharged this morning!

She will be reading the blogs and catching up as soon as she gets home, but wants all who have commented to know this:
"I felt the support, love and prayers of everyone yesterday when I went in there, I was ready, I am fine! I felt and still feel the angels around me all the time and I will be ready to come home to FL as soon as the Doc says I can! As for "the girls, they are gone and that is OK with me!"

\ \\* ///

We had a wonderful conversation!

I am thinking today about the healing properties of support, the many who look for help, for guidance along the many struggles of devastation, of illness, diagnosis, dying, death, loss and grief.

I continue to be honored by the many emails I receive daily from those who have read
Healing Heartaches, Stories of Loss and Life!
Many are telling me that they read and re-read the book, purchase additional copies to gift to friends, colleagues and others who they think will enjoy it. I am truly blessed and touched that they take the time to share their thoughts with me ~

I recently read a page now on Facebook written by Linda R., the woman who also loved Healing Heartaches and was going to start a book club in Apex NC. She has started a page on Facebook like a "self-help" page for those grieving losses. As I read the words of others and from her, I became more and more troubled . . . I joined after receiving an email from someone this morning saying that they were concerned that "DRSES I think you are being slandered on a facebook page by someone". Imagine my surprise when I looked and saw that it was the page of someone who had extended such wonderful thanks to me for helping her along her journey; someone who has sang praises of Healing Heartaches to the point of wanting to challenge her town to read Healing Heartaches and who requested bookmarks and cards for the book as well, (which I gladly sent to her).
The more I read, the more confused I became... it seems she is giving advice to those who are grieving, to those who are looking for advice and for help in their time of loss. In addition to all of that; she appears to be misleading folks about hospice and about me!  She referred to me as "a woman named Sherry", stating that "she leaves people at the bottom of the mountain."

While many would just ignore this; me being who I am chose not to... I have not ever left anyone behind... Those who stay at the bottom of the mountain, stay because they choose to stay... That would be called "free will"... but most disturbing to me as to other licensed practitioners is that when folks are in a fragile and hurting place... that pain needs to be ministered to by those who are trained clinicians...
The first rule of practice is "Do No Harm"

I did join this page, I did address my concerns to Linda and those following the page, suggesting they find and research for a trained and licensed clinician to journey with them through grief/loss and into healing and light.  Within minutes, the post was removed and I was blocked from the page...

The Moral of Today's Thoughts:

Be cautious of humans crossing:
Enter into all that you do with caution as I told Linda R awhile back ~
Do Not Take Any Wooden Nickels
Look for a Good/Great Therapist
Interview them and Find A Good Fit
It is NOT a one Size Fits All

Self-Help Groups are usually facilitated by a trained licensed facilitator
and
folks usually get involved with self-help groups after they have done 1:1 work first ~

Talk with others who have "walked the walk"
Reach out, ask your physician, ask your faith community, your local hospice to guide you in the right direction.

Use caution when citing others,
when using words of others
Copyright Laws apply to written words/photos
Slander is a serious offense

Bereavement Care is extended to family members of hospice patients for 12 months after the death of the patient,
 not mandated by attorneys

RIGHT ON ! if you are going to create a page on facebook for others to post, you need to be SECURE enough in yourself to take what comes your way - Obviously this Linda chic isn't. You can not have a public page, then delete and block what someone posts just because you don't like it -VERY COWARDLY. We come to this blog for uplifting words, and Positive energy- DO NOT MUDDY UP OUR SPACE WITH YOUR NONSCENSE AND NEGATIVITY.

Harassment is a serious offense.
I allowed Sherry to copy my work and to use my words. When I said a post was "eloquent" she would also say that the very next day in her blog. When I said, "blessings to all who find their way here," Sherry started using it.
I spent many days and attended many meetings to start the Healing Heartaches Bookclub and have it advertised by my HOA. People were insulted by the blogs and I needed to create a safe place for them to post.
Gandhi said, Be the Change you want to be,
Stressed is desserts spelled backwards has been around for several decades,

Hopsice literature uses the words "thin veil," Sherry did not create these sayings.
Sherry always thanked me for my anonymous posts, as when I explained and interpreted angels for Chris and explained they were messengers. Since so many people were insulted here, I am providing a community service and allowing people to post in a comfortable environment.
Harassment:
Dorothy B. says:
"You are poison."
"Your insanity rubs off on others."
"Karma is a real bitch."
"Are you Cybil?" Sybill
"Fruitcake."
You get the point.
You can not simply block someone from a group page because you do not like what they said. The person must be guilty of slander, attacking the group, or advertising. Facebook reviews what I report. You can't just block someone...you may only block for a serious offense.
We will continue with our self help page. Sherry cannot provide even one example of where she thinks I may have copied her. I have been commended by many other pages.
Someone mentioned, "I guess Sherry is defending herself because she needs to."
I am a strong advocate for helping people get professional help from licensed therapists. Sherry was not blocked for that reason. We agree on that point. Sherry was blocked for slander. I invited Sherry to announce her book on my page, providing "free" advertisement for herself and her memoir. She refused my invitation. It clearly states that it is a self-help group. All members are told several times to seek professional help. As they say, they cannot afford therapy 7 days a week.
It was assumed that I made negative posts - many of them were made by people brand new to the blog. I made the posts that Sherry appreciated: quotes from Emerson, encouraging her to appreciate the winter, rather than rushing through it. I did my part in sharing Healing Heartaches with many, it is not my fault if the public was insulted and humiliated by your members.
I always speak the truth.
I do not lie.
I do not copy other's work.
I will not allow slander.
I will not allow harassment.

TWO QUESTIONS: I have invited Sherry, as well as other authors, to promote her lovely book and herself as a resource on my page. That invitation still extends, dear Sherry. Why do you refuse to list your book and promote yourself there? Then, the readers would have a link to at least one therapist.

I certainly would like just one example of where anyone thinks I used something from this book. I absolutely used no material whatsoever in any way, shape, or form. I have been a practitioner and listed on a GLOBAL network for 8 years in the field of nautural healing, including aromatherapy. Telling someone to take a shower using a healing scent is not Sherry's exclusive idea...it has been around longer than her!

Feel free to answer these questions. I am very pleased with all my time and effort put into the Healing Heartaches Bookclub and have met many extraordinary people along the way.

Continued blessings to all who find their way here,including the one who calls me poisen and insane

Hugs to All!

Linda,
I have never "claimed" to have invented sayings wordings, etc... words that appear in blogs are however my words... if they by chance coincide with comments made the night before ... oh well it may just happen that way! I do not take tylenol for others fever, I also do not control the feelings, thoughts, reactions or actions of others to posts, comments or visits to the pages of others either.

I would have linked Healing Heartaches to your site, however shortly after my post, I was blocked from your site, therefore your "open invitation" is not open really is it?

As for slander, what I read that was posted by YOU was very close to slander indeed.

Thank you for your words and support of Healing Heartaches.

I am sorry that you are offended by the lively and thought provoking comments of others here; all are survivors, all are wonderful members of community, each in their own right on their own paths, each intelligent and beautiful people. Calling this "metaphysical mumbo jumbo" and other things of last night appears also judgmental, harsh etc...

If you want to communicate further about this, perhaps emailing me is best so that others do not have to have their energy or this page soiled with the energy that is emitting from the words or message you are conveying to me personally.

Thank you for reading and sharing the book with others.

Anonymous said...

Sherry,
You were invited several WEEKS ago to list Healing Heartaches and yourself as a resource.
You were invited to launch the Healing Heartaches on-line Book Club on my page! Others professionals jumped at the chance for free exposure. You completely ignorned my emails asking you to list your work as a resource for several weeks!
Instead of answering me personally, you had your friends post rude comments. Why would I email you, when you ignored the opportunity to launch a book club and promote yourself on my page. It is important for this to be public record.
Dorothy B. was so harassing, she needed to email me.
There is no Negative Energy here!
Only Positive Energy!
I have loved sharing your book with dozens of people. Just this week, I shared it with a woman in a wheelchair in a dressing room in a department store.
I am not offended, I absolutely LOVE all the lively & engaging conversations here. Remember many months ago, I asked readers on your fan page to PLEASE engage in lively and engaging converstaions. My prayers were answered! Ask and you shall receive!
No negative energy from me....I love that you appreciate my comments!
If my emails are going to continue to be ignored, why email?
I have nothing to hide.
The Healing Heartaches Page and The Dr. Sherry Showalter Page were not blocked, you choose to use your personal page and use your friends to post there. You can use both of your Fan pages to promote your work, as another recently published author did.
Remember you get what you ask for!
I met an army of people by sharing Healing Heartaches & found wonderful, lively, stimulating comments here.
Guess the person calling me insane or poisen does have something to hide, but I do not.

Continue blessings & abundant success at your DC book signing...
Continued Blessings ♥

HELLO....I want to say that I have read, reread, and shared HEALNG HEARTACHES with several people and not once dod any one beome offended, or speak of metaphsical mumbo jumbo....They loved the book ,found it refreching, uplofting...Many thanks to DR.SES for writing this for us. It appears to me that Linda R. has stepped out of her league, perhaps she is trying to promotr herself, rather than truly providing the healing guidance vulnerable people need...Was the book club created for Linda to glorify herself or to discuss the book....After reading her remarks I would question her validity...... ROCK ON WITH THE BLOGS DR.SES....THEY ARE INSPIRING AND FUN.....

I sit before you with many faces. I am a 2 time cancer survivor ( the way I have kicked its ass, it may not want to come back again), I lost a dear friend at the young age of 28 to cancer, I was a patient of Sherry for over one year, a student to become a LICENSED therapist and I was a member of "Circle of Grief". I received the invite from Linda a few weeks back. I accepted the invite, but because I refuse to live in grief, I lived through it.
This entire "thing" has played out in front of my eyes. And, Linda, I cannot believe you would be so dual faced and act like this, while in the same hour, give "healing advice" to those on your fanpage.
As a past client of Sherry, and a firm believer that she helped give me the tools to "climb from the bottom of the mountain". Yes, we have an option to stay at the bottom of the mountain in misery and sadness, or we can do the work, climb the mountain and enjoy this beautiful view, called life. When I was going through my grief, I had many people leaching off of me some craving my positive energy while others sucked me into being sad and miserable with them. I did what Sherry and I called "trimming the fat". I got rid of those people, it was too much on my hurt soul. As soon as I trimmed the fat, all I was left with was a lean fighting machine and nobody was going to keep me "at the bottom of that mountain". What I learned in that process, is some people just want to stay there. And for those you cannot help, and for your own good, you must leave them behind. I am sure that's what was meant by "leaving somebody at the bottom of the mountain".
Linda's personal email to me was far from this "whimsical, mystical, magical" person she portrays herself to be in the "Circle of Grief".. which I might add is a poor choice for a title of a group that offers "healing"... ya know being a "circle never ends". I went to the facebook page, and saw what it was , but because I am enjoying life, I didn't stay to read. A few days ago I went back to the page and noticed, this woman "Linda" who has contacted me through Sherry has made NO reference to Sherry but has used many of Sherry's terms and sayings, perhaps not word by word, but plagiarism does not have to be word for word. My fear is a woman who in NOT licensed is taking advantage of those who are hurting. Linda, you being a self proclaimed practitioner does not make you a practitioner nor does it make you licensed. Attending classes from UNACCREDITED class does not qualify you to give advice. And by the way, anyone on facebook can make up any page, again, this does not make you a practitioner or an expert. My 12 year old has a fanpage about red toothpaste, he is far from an expert. You also made mention Sherry said "Hospice is not an emergency room"... you are right, she did say that. As a patient, I had to make appointments and wait my turn. I NEVER showed up and expected to be seen. You said it was unprofessional for her to treat you that way, but then you said you hired an attorney to see her. If somebody treated me like that, I can assure you I would never want to see them again! Tread carefully, Linda as some may see through you and see you are using Sherry and HER accomplishments for your own benefit. I am very grateful for Sherry and all she has done for me and I will make sure she is not taken advantage of in any way.

I have read Sherry's book and passed it on to another friend who loves it. I did not think it was mumbo jumbo or any such thing and it doesn't seem like my friend does either. I agree with "Circle of Grief" being a crappy name for the healing group - circle is never ending. God help me if I had to grief forever.

HELLO..... Sherry has helped me immensely in two and a years to finally find way to the top of the mountain. Thanks to her liscensed and certifable guidance I am able to breathe deeply and enjoy the life I tought had vanished...It appears to me that Linda R, should stick to her day job and stop pretending she knows how to help with her" Circle of Grief" What a hideous name for a place of healing. I'll stick with my "metaphysical mumbo jumbo" ...so much more uplifting. Linda needs to tread slowly and carefully.......

Amazing to hear how "Linda" will not respond to "Dorthy" directly but has no problem splashing it on this REAL healing place with her response. Oh, and I cannot find the page on facebook.

Now that I have gotten Sherry's permission to do so, I have posted a link to Healing Heartaches on the Circle of Grief Page!
I very much appreciate Sherry granting me permission to finally list a link for Healing Heartaches on our GROUP Page!
Our Circle of Grief continues to grow, I really just wanted an intimate small group, but as imagine people are looking for this type of support!
If you are having difficulty finding our Page, just put in Circle of Grief and request to join...my assistant administator is screening applicants to avoid people being there for their personal agenda, rather than a SAFE place to HEAL.

Regarding Dorthy B. & others: If you received extremely abusive, obscene, profane, and disgusting emails, would you respond? I have been trained to work with people who are grieving....I do not have any experience dealing with people like Dorothy. She is out of my range of expertise.
Our page still exists on Facebook, but we we need to screen to protect all our members!

Many people have shared that they feel very bad that I, Linda, am being blamed for all the wackadoodle comments. It is a shame that people make false assumptions. I can honestly admit to only 10 percent of so called "negative" comments. My last negative comment was in December about being physically unable to get a tree.
Having reviewed the blogs I made absolutely no negative comments this year 2010. Not one negative comment from me this entire year.
In retrospect, Did I make an absolutely horrific mistake from passing out bookmarks and going before my homeowners association to present The stunning Healing Heartaches posters? Was I punished for my meetings with the Borders managers, was I punished for meeting with my HOA, was I punished for handing out bookmarks along with Hospice at our enormous Regional Library? Was I punished for wanting to share this work with others?
I believe my strong desire to share Healing Heartaches was because I am so very familiar with all the tools mentioned and have used them regularly. The memoir part was enjoyable, but I had been using the tools my entire life working with children and the elderly.
VERY IMPORTANT POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF our dear Sherry does NOT want to be blamed for the extremely abusive and harassing email sent by Dorothy,
then why should I be blamed for comments that I did not make?
As I said, I wrote the longest interpretation to Chris explaining the Walmart Angel, Sherry thanked me for my posts, I am not responsible for 90 percent of the negative posts.
IF SHERRY IS NOT TO BE BLAMED FOR DOROTHY'S ABUSIVE EMAIL, WHY SHOULD I BE CONDEMNED FOR COMMENTS I DID NOT MAKE?
The comments picked up when I started handing out bookmarks and attending meetings. They were from all the new people.
The Universe/God/Buddha/choose your favorite name knows the truth.
The Universe knows That my heart has always been 100 percent pure. I have never bad mouthed anyone here. It is not in my nature to say cruel, abusive, profane things to others. People tell me I am too kind, too sweet, too compassionate, that I do too many random acts of kindness. I am often referred to as a goody two shoes.
Sherry told me that I have a very good heart.
My very good heart spents dozens of hours on developing the Healing Heartache bookclub. I have lots of experience in sharing the book with people from the person who did my taxes, to the auto mechanic, to people in dressing rooms in department stores, to cardilogists and paramedics.
I am thankful if I but helped heal one heartache.
LESSON LEARNED: Even when we act purely and mindfully, loving and caringly, and are extremely compassionate and helpful to others....there are those just waiting to condemmn. I wished a never left an anonymous comment, I did not want any praise when sharing's favorite quotes or for my artwork taught by Dragon Boy!
I am very thankful for the universe knowing that I did nothing wrong and very thankful for KARMA!!!!!
Luckily, I have an editor working on my manuscript written 5 years ago. I have been asked for years to publish my own book.
Some excerpts are on my FB page. Maybe I had to practice promoting Healing Heartches and see that not every soul will love it, so I will be prepared when people dislike my book.

I WILL continue to hold each and every one of you in prayer, as I always have. It does make me very sad that people have to resort to being so cruel and so nasty. Perhaps, I will never understand why people need to say horrific things. It is also important that we become our own "best resource." I hope all the critical people who blamed me for comments I did not make also learned something!
Perhaps, I do not have the strong, Indian Warrior language that many readers here have picked up....but no matter how cruel and abusive you are, the universe and I know the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was Sherry's choice to write about me today, I certainly hope I am not written about anymore, but that is her choice.
Very fondly,
Linda Ann

OK OK OK

TODAY'S BLOG WAS NOT FOCUSED ON LINDA, WAS NOT WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR AND ABOUT HER. IT HAS BEEN INTERPRETED THAT WAY BY HER, THEREFORE ALL THE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN STARTED AND FLOWN FROM THERE....

ENOUGH ALREADY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, THIS IS "INSANE" AND ENOUGH IS TRULY ENOUGH.

THE BLOG WAS MY THOUGHTS, MY CONCERNS OF A FACEBOOK PAGE THAT APPEARED ON THE VERGE OF SLANDER FROM A READER WHO ONCE WAS A SUPPORTER OF THIS PAGE, THE FAN PAGE AND THE AUTHOR OF HEALING HEARTACHES AND THERAPIST. A WOMAN WHO STATED I HAD INDEED HELPED HER MORE THAN THOSE SHE HAD ENCOUNTERED PREVIOUSLY. THEREFORE I WAS CONCERNED.

OK ~ ENOUGH ~

THERE ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ON THIS PAGE, PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT IN THE WORLD HAS HAPPENED TO THIS FUN, HEALING, OFTEN SERIOUS AND SOMETIMES HEARTACHE AND HEALINGWAYS PAGE.

IT STOPS NOW. LAY DOWN YOUR BOW ARROW OR AND REST YOUR KEYBOARDS....

Is your own head so empty that you must pretend the thoughts of others, especially someone so well respected and knowledgeable as Dr. Showalter are your own is very transparent. Get a life of your own.You must really have serious mental health problems if your think YOU are in any way shape or form a good source of advice to people who have grief issues, or any other issues for that matter. You are the one who made all those stupid petty remarks on the blog and ran like hell when were called out by readers. One week you haven't had human contact in months, the next you are a wannabe community organizer, so now you are a widow who hasn't made an inch of progress from the death of your husband six years ago and are thinking YOU can lead other to heal? Are you Cybil? So now you consider yourself an expert on what? I know the internet provides everyone an opportunity to say whatever they want but you are an excellent example of why people should know a bit more about the Charlatans on the web that fake expertise.Karma is a real bitch and it will come back to bite you in the ass. I don't know whether to pity you, or expose you. I know that you will over time expose yourself for the fruitcake you are.

Are you in Middle School that way your acting? I read your book and thought that is was very simple in the way that you wrote it. Where were your helping tools???????? How could a Doctor let this abuse go on?????? You should be helpful not harmful. Linda is a very educated woman who yes has suffered and doesn't need to be treated in this unGodly manner. So everyone should just shut the hell up and apologize for treating someone so badly. What goes around comes around in life, remember that!

DR. SHERRY E. SHOWALTERS COMPLETELY VIOLATED CONFIDENTILITY BY GIVING OUT HER TOWN!
IF SHE IS RAPED ROBBED BEAT UP FOUND DEAD
THE DOC TOLD EVERY ONE WHERE SHE LIVES

ARE YA TRING TO GET WOMAN KILLED

Chris said...

ya know people--get a life---this is totally out of hand. I am so tired of seeing the hate and threats. STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT--I feel like a mom yelling at her kids to stop fighting.!! Sherry needs protection but so does Linda since this all started. Have you all forgotten what's important in life? Certainly not someone who is totally devoid of any rational thought! So stop it--and get on with life.---There are more important things to deal with........

There is no confidentiality on a public blog stupid. Wow you have very small life and a small mind. Just be gone with yourself whoever you are. Just shut up or move on to some other page. You are unwelcome here.

The woman grom Apex told everyone where she was from. Can't you read. As for the stuff above, who is talking about killing and raping? What's in your head. Is Apex that small a town that she is the only woman that lives there? You must be a friend of hers, and I assumed she might not have anyone that would call themselves a friend.

In reaponse to "one thing that Linda R. said that was wrong.... EVERYTHING. Every single word she has ever put on this blog. Especially in the last few days.

Anonymous said...

I, for one have much things to do with my time than listen to this pathetic rambling, started by a woman named Linda RSome of these things I do include loving the sunshine, feeling life as it hits me,praying that I will be reunited one day with my lost loves on the other side, being kind and helpful, doing the right thing etc.... If this woman Linda, would spend her effort trying to heal her own apparent anger and issues ( pity from my heart to her ) then perhaps we could get back to the real issues and love we have found on this blog. STOMP.... YOU REALLY ARE NOY WELCOME HERE, WE ARE POSITIVE ENERGY LOVERS, NOT HATE MONGERS. gO AWAY AND PLAY IN TOUR OWN SPACE. leave us alone,peace to all of you and dr.ses. ... let us all continue to heal and LAUGH ...... IT MAKES LIFE SO MUCH MORE TOLERABLE.... life is too short to waste on such insignifcant ramblings...... love to all the warriors..........

Since when is Hospice "Unaccredied?"
Are you saying that all the classes she took at Hospice were "Unaccredited?"
Hospice classes specifically state that a volunteer cannot use their relationship with Hospice to benefit themselves.
She does not use her background to promote herself.
How can you call Hospice, GriefShare, and all the other classes "Unaccredited?"
I never saw any letters after her name or any misleading statements.

The post above me should ask Dr. Sherry E. Showalter why she choose to attack LR in her blogs without asking for permission.

DOUBLE STANDARD: Our Sherry says it is okay if HER words just happen to coincide with LR's comments ------------------
BUT is is not okay if LR's words just happen to coincide with Sherry.
We are here simply because Dr. Sherry E. Showalter choose to violently attack this woman in her blog. IF she had true concern, she could have told her story in a professional & an ethical way.
LR DID NOT TELL THE READERS OF THIS BLOG WHERE SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!!

SHERRY OFTEN MENTIONED THE BOOKCLUB IN APEX, NC
LR did NOT TELL THE READERS OF THIS BLOG HER LAST NAME.
SHERRY SAID: I bet Asheville, NC wishes they had a LINDA A. RICCI there

Dont you get it? We really do not want you here. I personally hope you and yours live Long, long lives. So that you can continue to reap what you sew. As you are filled with ugliness, hate, bitterness and stupididity. Since this is the course you have chosen, may you suffer all your days at your own hands. Might want to try something else since this is not working for you. Rant on, guess what. Real,sane people, don't care what you say. Talk about KARMA..... if you just stopped yourself, you could do something else. I recommed it. if this is all you have to do.Pity you. Misery loves company. Hope you have found your bliss.

I am happy to report that Linda is extremely well, thriving, and very content as she helps those in her community.
Florida newspapers have featured her and she was given awards for her community service and help to many.
You do not need to worry about Linda. She is sane, rational, professional, and ethical.
YOU do NEED to worry about someone who would give the last name and location of a woman while verbally assaulting her.
Linda has no need to verbally assult people.
She also has no need to defend herself.
She does need people here to monitor this unethical behavior!
From a member of The circle of grief who saw your slanderous comments

Anonymous said...

Arn't you the same jerk who siad Linda had no need to defend herself since she has NEVER said a bad word, or done a bad deed. Since only truch is uttered from her lips. HA HA. Yeah right. Since you are the only one who cares..... about Linda, or your thoughts... Go on, entertain yourself. We still don't care.
And you call her well... and sane.... Amused by your defintion of sane. I have seen in her words, her own expressions that she us not weel balanced. In fact, I question her sanity, and your intelligence. I repeat the earlier sentiment. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. Thereis no room in my head for you or yours.

Sure hope this is being monitered by real

Real professionals do not tell people to shut up.
She would never use that language

She who stupid. The above was MY Comment and I have no professional identity. I am a reader that clearly thinks you are a GIANT sicko, wacko, creep like She WHo Shall Not Be Named.
LEAVE THIS SITE NOW. YOU ARE NOT WORTH ANYONE'S ENERGY. Worms have purpose, flys have purpose, even waste products have a place in the big scheme of things. YOU HOWEVER WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A GIANT LEEP UP TO EVEN HAVE THEIR VALUE. SO GO AWAY. Far, far away. Can anyone say Oregon?

OK--DRSES, I suggest you close this day's blog out. Apparently, there are some people who don't understand ENOUGH.....STOP IT.....I have nothing but high praise for Sherry-she is indeed a kind hearted soul who does anything she can to help people. I don't care for the retoric and the tone of these comments. She has worked hard all of her life to acheive the respect level that she has and she herself has asked for people to stop this nonsense. So if the only way to stop it is to close this one out, she should do it. I will miss reading her blog, but I would understand.

DO NOT close this blog page and give all of these negative out of towners there wish/ We belong here and we are helpful to each other in many ways. Are we going to give in and be manipukated by such nonsesnse. Absolutely NOT. Rise above all of this silliness and get back to the basics. STOMP..STOMP..STOMP.... FOR OUR PEACE OF MIND, OUR INNER HEALING/ OUR LOVED ANGELS....STOMP BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER.....PEACE.....

Anonymous said...

If you care about each other why did you allow a brutal verbal assualt on the woman who wrote prayers, blessings, artwork, and devoted her time to this author's book?
Why were her posts called "Breathtaking"
"beautiful" "Wado"
Was her post to Chris explaining how angels appear wrong? Don't you believe in angels?
Don't you believe angels are messengers?
Do you care about each other?
Or is it a form of worshipping the ground the author walks upon?
If anything thinks what occured is HEALING,
your sanity is in question.
If the author that is worshipped and can do no wrong turned her back on one of her followers, you can be the next one.
All she did was create a group page and welcome everyone who had an interest to join.
So, she tells you to stomp, you stomp
So, she tells you to post rude remarks, you listen
So, she tells you to let her know what is on a page, the spy dutifully reports "She removed the book this morning"
It was her very best friend, who called one of her followers poison and insane. You could be the next one.
Don't just worship the ground someone walks upon, you have a brain and you have a heart.
Think for yourself. You may be the next outcast. Several posts were removed and deleted. I was fortunate to see the post that this doctor posted admitting "she made a mistake." She quickly removed her post.
Use your own brain
Use your own heart
Listen to your gut
Angels tell me if she had left her post admitting she made a mistake, things would not have gotten so out of hand.
I listen to angels
Others listen to the Leader of this Clan
Just think about it
........this is not written from negativity, this is written with deep concern.........
a message from the angels.................

Gentle warning,
after the good doctor deleted her post admitting she made a mistake by writting about someone, now she is calling this a joke
using terms such as LOL and stalker
Please remember "Do No Harm"
If she is laughing about this, is it really funny?

Linda has focused on Sherry. The email did not come from Sherry, Linda.. The email came from Dorothy.

The only protection Linda needs is for her own good. Some call it Baker Act

Guess what, there was no post "admitting any mistake" from Dr. SES. No mistake made. I think this all exists in your head. You still don't get. YOu are unwelcome here. Gentle Warning? What exactly does that mean? No, don't tell us, just go back under whatever rock you climbed out from under. You make me SICK. SICK OF YOU AND ALL YOUR IGNORANT, NASTY, UGLY REMARKS. DO YOU GET OFF ON THIS? You do not need to reinforce our knowledge that you have mental health issues. We get it already. Go get your head fixed. Will do you some good. Maybe.

THis is like a cult.

Cults follow mindlessly. We are each mindful. Mindful of the value each of us have. The caring that each of us share. The special and lovely relationships that grown her. The positive energy we have to give. The gifts we recieve. Not a cult. A tribe of like minded individuals. Eaxch with unique lives, unique gifts, lessons to learn and stories to share. This is apositive space in our lives. I for one treasure this space. Good energy flows freely here. We ar loyal to each other. Concerned for ours. We have become more than the sum of our individual parts. We are one. We support each others desire to be whole, giving, uplifting peple. We have found each other and celebrate that amazing gift.We hare here to build, not destroy. Tostand strong, to not faulter, to not fail,nor let those we love and care for flounder. We are strong, loyal and trustworthy. We are awesome.

Must say this has been an educational blog post to follow. Freedom of Speech is alive and well in our country. You can voice any opinion you like in a blog of this type.
No one threatened her life,
No one mentioned a gun,
No one mentioned arson,
or that she would be killed.
How wonderful that in this country, we have the freedom to express any "opinion," as long as we do not threaten life, we are safe.
Maybe the post calling this a "cult" was not accurate, Clan, Tribe, Family, etc might be a better choice of words. You are free to discriminate and be non-inclusive. Yes, very educational post to follow. We also have the ability to block and delete offensive, degrading posts if we so desire. Just my opinion, I admire people who block harmful posts. I admire the person who blocked the leader of this ________? She did not allow abusive behavior or allow fighting on her page.
Just following for educational purposes to see if this ever ends. May be used as a "teaching tool" someday soon.

Hi Dragon Boy,
I had people read this blog who assure me I am perhaps the most sane of all. This had been reported to the police and to Hospice.
It is a shame that Jonathan feels the need to lie. For the record, Jonathan gave me two sessions of art lessons as he gave to Sherry.
Jonathan is the one who absolutely refused my offer to purchase Healing Heartaches for him because he is too young to use pay pal. He said he does not like to read. I have friends monitering this for slander. And the police know if anything ever happens to me to look to the people involved with this blog. Life is grand, Karma is wonderful, and I have never been happier. Too bad I found this book advertised on the Hospice website. I was happy and excited about all the wonderful new beginnings in my life prior to reading it, had a setback from reading it, and am again thrilled with all the new people I have met.
I am far too healthy to let all you stompers drag me down with you. Get a life, be happy, don't be dependent on others for your own happiness. I am happy with my life, I do not need to stomp, nor lie, nor put down other people to make myself look good. This blog is for depressed needy people and I for one have been told I am very healthy emotionally and mentally and doing absolutely fantastic with my move out of state. Thus, no therapy or meds as no medical doctor thinks I need them. I wish you the healing and happiness I have found. Why don't some of you write your own blog rather than being needy of someone else's diary? Good to be happy, healthy, writing, and sharing my life work with others. Wishing you all many blessings.
