I love your tree analogy. I always use the many paths up the mountain story... we are all working towards that top, but how we get there is entirely up to us.... I like your tree and roots much better. :) <br>Olya, You are such a strong person. I am very grateful I get to know you! Thanks for being a part of my life! I wish you many happy times and memories with your family! Someday we shall gather our families together and enjoy some laughs.... until then keep the emails and blogs and comments coming.

I know that people are not perfect, and those bad people can taint whatever they touch. It sounds like you had a lot of experiences with people like that. I have been in the church my entire life and have come across people like this too. People whom I really admired too. But their decisions were their own and in my eyes didn't reflect on the church.<br><br>Anyway please know that I am not trying to disuade you or argue or anything. I 100% support you and you know I do. I was just speaking from my own experiences, and it saddens me to see what you have experienced.<br><br>I wish you the best of happiness on your journey! I think you are a very loving, strong and spiritual person with the best of intentions at heart for those around you. You have ALWAYS helped me when I needed it. That is just who you are :)<br><br>Seriously I hope what I said didn't offend because I wasn't trying to at all. Olya you are fantastic and i'm happy for you.Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10109112855316780990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817618883236985895.post-38837537586545752022009-09-21T09:26:01.703-07:002009-09-21T09:26:01.703-07:00I for one, love, LOVE what you said and how you ex...I for one, love, LOVE what you said and how you expressed it. I almost met you once, at Dyson Studios while waiting, and you were having your weave done. I remembered thinking, what a beautiful, self-assured person. Reading your words, I see that you are honest and open and warm and caring, and insightful. Thank you for this post, I couldn't agree more. I have been LDS for 20+ years, until the past year. May you continue to find joy on your journey.
