Eating Crow


Ok-this is embarrassing and painful-honestly. But I promised myself that I would use this blog to be truthful and authentic about my experiences. So here goes: I posted an entry yesterday that I later regretted and then deleted-but unfortunately several of you read it before I had the chance to redeem myself. Honestly, this posting was rash, mean spirited, and unreasonable. Although no names were mentioned and the identities of the innocent were protected, I have to OWN this bad decision. I am a big believer in OWNING IT and looking it dead in the eyes. Even when it's uncomfortable and unflattering. So I'm taking my medicine straight up. No lolly-gaggin' around.

This is no justification- but sometimes you take a ride on the crazy train, and it's really quite exciting in the moment. But afterwards-crazy ain't all that great. And trying to defend crazy just makes me-well-crazy. So the lesson here? Discretion and temperance. Living out loud sure ain't easy. And THAT'S the truth.

  1. Brava! Done with class, as always. I will continue to be a Blither Blather reader regardless of rash postings.

  2. We all eat a little crow sometimes. I find it goes down better with vodka. I'm just sayin...

  3. You are a class act. You take your crazy, you wear it, you show it off, and then you put it up when it's out of style, only to bring it back out when the fashion trends necessitate it.
