You are a blessing to all who know you. You are one of the BIGGEST blessings in my life. You make my heart smile with this post, but then also fill it with sadness. I don't like to think of such an amazing person having so much fear to deal with. Know that God's loving, protecting arms are always around you. Thank you for sharing your gift of words with the world through this blog and through your amazing book A Thundering Wind. :-)
Love, Hugs, and Prayers
P.S. I'm reading a great book right now. The author is so very talented - reminds me of those few actors that can play any type of role and do it well. :-)

Hiya Johhny, I often read your blogs but this is the first time I'm leaving a reply. Don't you think before we start looking for intelligent life on other planets we try and find some on earth? Only kidding - old joke I know. Keep on blogging. Axe
Hi there sweet lady. For obvious reasons (to you, that is) :-) I visit BTB everyday. I love seeing your name pop up on my screen. PPD tells me that Chyna is back on your side of town now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed you are in contact with each other. He also posted a blog at the same time as you did. Axe is in bloggers heaven. If you haven't seen Chyna yet we can repeat the excercise again. It's Absolutely NO problem at all. Busy with a marathon mail session to spoil him over Christmas. I have been in contact with Colt, and as I told him... have stamp will lick. :-)
I am so VERY glad you have met someone special - you know me and matters of the heart. I grab onto any happiness I can get with both hands. Snailmail on the way as soona s I have bumper christmas avalange on the way to him. Much Love always Axel.
I may not be God, but I'm listening now, and so is He. I'm sorry you feel so sad and forgotten, that's a horrible feeling. I will be praying for you, so know that someone is thinking of you, and cares. A little about me,My name is Jenni. I have 5 children, and I'm engaged to my very best friend, and he's a lot younger than me...I am an artist, finishing up my degree in Fine Art. I paint in oils, and sketch, tattoo, and make jewelry. I am taking up sewing too. I'm not a typical "normal" artist though, my latest painting is of a Muerta. Or as most people call it, a "female sugar skull"...I speak Spanish, so I always think people know what I mean..haha. I'd love to hear from you, and about you. You can say whatever you want, if you need to vent, go ahead, I want you to know that you are NOT forgotten. God hears you, He may not do things as fast as we'd like, or in the way we'd like, but He has a plan , it's just hard believing it when we feel so down. Please take care, I look forward to hearing from you.
Hello Karyn! I loved reading your letter. Your honesty and openness is perfect. I can relate on may levels with you, and I too am very honest, and always appreciate it in others, so thank you. Let me introduce myself, My name is Jennifer, but I go by Jenni, I'm sure I have more names from other people, but I don't need to know them!...hahaha :) I have 5 children on earth and 1 in heaven; son 22,daughter 20,son 18, son 11,and a daughter 9 ,and My daughter that passed away. I am engaged to a much younger man, (I'm 40)he's my best friend. I am in college finishing up my degree in art. I paint, sketch, do tattoos, and make jewelry. I am starting to sew too, we'll see how that turns out....wish me luck..haha..I read that you played softball, I did too, I was the shortest on the team, and I'd hit that ball so hard and run as fast as I could, but I never got too far, but I sure thought I was! :)I can't tell what state you're in, I'm in California. I was very glad to read that you have healed. It takes a lot of courage and will to face our demons in life, and the strength you gain , and also give by going through the process is blessing in the chaos. I am constantly evolving still, and it's been quite a journey. I always say now "I'm bulletproof"...because as I'm sure you know, you get pretty darn tough after living in circumstances as you have, and are now, and as I have too. I did a short stay in our good ole' county club...haha...I'd love to hear more about you, and your artwork! I've blabbed enough about me, your probably asleep by now... haha:) Well, I hope all is well in your neck of the woods, and I look forward to hearing from you. Take care :)
Patrick: Your childhood was unfair. What are your memories of your parents? Your sister? Your older brothers? Were you too young to even remember them or why you were pulled away from them? I am impressed with how self-reliant you became at such a young age. Was summer camp fun? Where did you go? I too went to a YMCA Camp Nan-A-Bo-Sho in Wisconsin. Your writing is detailed and informative....time to add a few more power words...descriptors of places, feelings and people. Try to learn a new word every day. I could send you the power words they use for college entrance tests. They actually have rock songs that teach these words. Very amusing. You are smart. Keep writing. I enjoy seeing your improvement.
Patrick: I would like to send you a package but regulations seem to indicate this is not possible. If I sent you funds, would it all be taken for restitution? I would like to get you some new typing supplies. I guess I could mail you 200 sheets of paper. Maybe you could write specifically about what you would be grateful for and how people on the outside could get them to you. I could also send you a good book on writing skills via Amazon. Is this possible? Grace
Patrick: Your writing walking the track" is special. I am familiar with prison life. Many of your insights on this ritual are new to me. You might want to consider a second draft of this writing. People both inside and outside the prison could find value in it. Keep writing.
