Do You Know How Lovely You Are
{Image by Parker Fitzgerald - see his amazing Polaroid quote series here}
Hello lovely friends. Today I wanted to take a moment to let you all know how very much each and every one you means to me. When I shared my personal story on Wednesday I really had no idea what to expect. The post had been tumbling around inside my head for ages, and I'm sure I went through every possible outcome at least a 100 times (especially the potentially bad ones). But even with all that, I never realized just how freeing and amazing it would be to finally share my story with you.
I know that this has so much to do with the incredibly generous and supportive people that you are. Your stories, comments, even poetry and artwork sent in response has changed my life for ever. Thank you for reflecting back what I was so hoping to see. Thank you for allowing me to unburden myself, and no longer feel the shame that I had been mostly unconsciously carrying with me for so long. Today I feel lighter than I have in years and I want you to know that you are a huge reason for this. I am eternally thankful for you...yes, YOU!
Have a wonderful weekend filled with joy and laughter my friends! With endless gratitude and love, Ez

Hooray for sharing & caring! So glad you're feeling so good. Hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
And we are eternally grateful for YOU, Ez. Not only do you provide daily beauty and inspiration on Creature Comforts, but you've paved the way for honesty and healing for many other women. I appreciate you and even though it makes me sad that we share a background of abuse, I'm so thankful we can encouage eachother and support eachother.
Big hugs to you! Have a beautiful weekend, Ez! xo
Hi Ez, I would just like to say that you should never feel shame for what you have been through. It is not your fault. You are a beautiful person through and through and although I would not wish what has happened to you on anybody, it has made you the strong, spirited person that you are now.
Thank you again for sharing. Much love to you and your daughter.
