Love your writing style - very descriptive and left me feeling like I was perched on the rocks with you. I think many people (and particularly women) our age were raised with with the idea that if only we were to follow all of Life's rules, we'd be protected and "all would be well." How liberating it was for me when I finally realized that I could be free of some of these rules and not only remain a good person, but become better - more of the person I now feel I was born to be! Great article. An inspiring story on many levels…at 8 weeks-post surgery you describe a challenge I don’t think many would even attempt.

So well written was this esay and filled with all of the elements that make for reading on and learning the prize of self exceptance and fears confrounted.

Newman Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:54:05 +0000 http://boomercafe.com/?p=51#comment-90 A delightful tale, with just the right mix of suspense, self-mockery, and triumph. Linda's tribulations mirrored many of the challenges that I myself have faced, but I did not weather mine with the same lightly-mocking courage that your writer displayed. A most enjoyable narrative indeed! A delightful tale, with just the right mix of suspense, self-mockery, and triumph.

I felt like I WAS RIGHT THERE ON THE ROCK with the author. Very inspiring tale that grabs you from the beginning, and keeps up the suspense to the end. A great lesson.
