~*~ Popularity Means not a thing, If it comes with a price tag. To compromise one's principles, In order to gain the approval of others, Is to undermine one's own self and identity. Loss of your uniqueness is a very high price to pay. |

ah... but all things have a price do they not? One just needs to remember not to overpay for the value they get in return... nicely done... and thoughts to ponder... I enjoyed |

I guess that is what they mean by selling yourself short! No point in going with someone else's program when you're entitled to your own. You can please some of the people some of the time....and that's about as far as it goes. ~My thought for the day~ Thank you for this Linda~ |

BC ~ I couldn't imagine that you would! You come across as one who knows himself--and his desires!--which brings your special request to the fore! The next time I'm in the mood, I'll write one with you in mind!  Huggums, EA |

 (big hugggssssss) What saddens me is even when some people be true to themselves and hold this wisdom dear, others still try and hurt them, like when I was a little boy and I thought fighting at recess was wrong because I didn't want anyone to get hurt and that I didn't want to swear and insult others and then boys my own age beat me up because they thought I was too "girlish"! (sad sigh) Though I'm saddened no one else understood and appreciated me back then, I am proud of being me and I know unless they are still ignorant that they regret what they did and I forgive them, and I'll be happy as long as I know who my few real friends are, you and many here at Passions and my teachers! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I pray people can abandon the whole American Idol concept and find the true uniqueness and pride in their voices, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. |

I love this line "If it comes with a price tag." Its simply done yet effective... sometimes I wish you'd freed yourself a bit with words, I felt you were a bit constricted with the triangular shape. All the same its a great meaningful poem... well done  "more than yesterday, less than tomorrow, i love you" |

Noah ~ I am so happy that you are proud of being YOU--because you truly are special--and it is because you are so special, that you have been tested so much in your young life. You have grown into a vibrant, loving and talented man who shares the knowledge gained from your difficult experiences with others. You now give to children that which was lacking in your own early years. God bless you, my dear sweet friend. I loveya lots, you know! Linda |

Sunshine ~ I already knew your Dad was wise, and now I know your Mom is as well! It is no wonder that you are able to spout such wisdom yourself! Warm hugs, Linda |

Ah, a lesson we try to teach our children but one they, like us, must learn sometimes the hard way. But, how vital it is to be true to oneself and stand firm in beliefs. Wonderful words of wisdom sister .... Hugs and luvs, Marti |
