Dear Anonymous

For as much as you have judged me, it seems to me that if you knew me and had something to say you would at least have the guts to leave your name instead of cowering behind the title of "anonymous". Speaking of judging, have you ever heard of the Bible? There is a great scripture in Matthew 7:1 that says "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Pretty interesting concept right? And, if you are an LDS individual I have the perfect message to share with you:
"I pray that each of us will be a little more kind,
a little more thoughtful, a little more courteous."
~President Gordon B. Hinckley
The purpose of my blog is to keep in touch with my FRIENDS and to express my own thoughts and feelings to them, whatever they may be. But even better than that, I decide who gets to leave comments and who gets to be silenced! Good-bye.

Oh Shelly!

I am so sorry that someone so mean hurt your feeling! Really, what is the point? They are probably hurting in their own life....

I love to read your blog and am amazed by the great attitude you take your trials on with! Keep on writing and don't worry (too much) about those nasty trolls.

An old (old!) friend,

you're great! annonymous is probably some bored, old guy who has nothing better to do than write random, nasty comments.

good job ignoring it and moving on... and THANK YOU for keeping up your blog writing... i LOVE your posts!

Well said, Shelley. :o) It's always great when people (yep, talking about you, annonomous) think that their opinions really matter, when, last time I checked, NO ONE asked for it! Keep your thoughts to yourself, annonomous.

Shelley, You are AWESOME, and I think the world of you! Anyone who can keep their chin up when they are enduring their trials in life, deserve a pat on the back. :o) There will always be those who are so self-absorbed that they won't have compassion and a little empathy for what another is going through. Everyone has the opportunity to go through some trial in life and when their time comes, maybe they will learn why we are taught, "Judge not, that ye be not judged". Life just has a funny little way of teaching us all this important lesson! :o)

Dear JerkyPants,

Leave my Shelley alone before I bite you.

I love you Shelley! If JerkyPants keeps pestering you, I think you should just make the blog private.

Hey Shelley. I'm sorry you're getting mean comments. If the people even knew you, they would realize what your blog's purpose is. Obviously they just don't get it.
I, for one, love you tons and tons!! At least you can delete mean comments though, right? You are the very best person at finding what is good in bad situations. I love you so much. (and if I ever find out who left those comments....I'd have to....you know something deserving of making mean comments. HA! So, there!) Alright, so I'd try to be as Christ-like as possible, just as you were. Thanks for your example!
Alyssa- that's MY real name.

I can't believe that jerk is still leaving you comments! Is there a way that you can report them for harassment or something?
