Comment on A Wonderful Man has Died. by rose

I did not know your friend but I am feeling the cloak of age creeping oh so closer. With Dick Clark’s passing ( who happens to be Chani’s boyfriend’s UNCLE) I am seeing that the relics of my past are dying away. I cringe when I get a CJ newsletter, who else has passed away? Mortality SUCKS. I intend to go out kicking and screaming and cussing.

My dearest Lynne. I am sorry for your pain and you know I understand it first hand. I congratulate you for being able to look past your friend’s inept way of approaching you and instead realize that her motivation was concern. I know that ultimately you will forgive her and be able to open the door to conversation regarding her approach. I am glad you are not goin’ down the “what are people thinking of me road” You know that won’t help. You know that don’t matter. You know they will always be thinking some damn thing. The only persons opinion who truly matters is yours. What do you think of yourself? We both know that changing some of the answers to that question is a key to ultimately releasing the weight. You may find the key in this life, and you may not. Sometimes we get to slay all our dragons, and sometimes we don’t. You know, we all have our assets and our deficits. We have battles we win, battles we lose, and battles that are ongoing for a lifetime. I always find it so interesting that people don’t realize that weight is one of those battles. Like we should just lose the weight. Like if it were that easy…..we would have done it. People of that ilk just don’t understand. They would say to an alcoholic, “Well just stop drinking.” What I know for sure is that love is the answer. So look in the mirror my big beautiful darling and love yourself for all the amazing and wonderful things you are! Love your connection to God. Love your heart. Love your generosity. Love your talent. Love your intelligence. Love your warmth, love your sense of humor. Love your sense of style. Love your honesty. Love your way with words. Love your kindness. Love your business sense. Love your hard work ethic. Love your loving. Love, Love. Love, Yourself. Lavish yourself with it. Bathe yourself in it. I will do the same. If I know anything, I know that when I love myself better, I will make loving choices regarding my body which houses my beautiful soul.
Someday both of our bodies will reflect the love we feel for ourselves if we are willing to just love, never criticize, just love! I will take a heaping spoonful of this same medicine. In the meantime,ignore the ignorant. surround yourself with the loving, AND ALWAYS REMEMBER…”You have always been a woman of substance. Everything you did you always did with abundance. You are massive not passive, grand where you stand. You are an amusement park of pulsating wiggle!” It ain’t the size it’s the state of being! Love you madly!

Erinelle: thank you so very much for your comment. It must be so hard to approach any subject that basically is a criticism. I will get over it. I just feel shot down a bit. I guess I must be pretty scary if they worried that I’m gonna croak at any minute … Aw fuck em if they can’t take a joke. But on the other hand I am the first to admit that this is not something I want to be – obese. On the other hand – what a hag for saying so! Like I am not aware of it myself.

I think, and I’m being gentle about this….it takes a major health “thing” to make you change your lifestyle. This February, i had a syncopy episode and it told me that stress is the reason my heart is fucking up. So, within 6 weeks I am on a gym, decompress regimen. I am feeling better but not without a cornucopia of medication. That person was rude and will burn in hell. You are not heavy in my eyes~~ever. you are my friend, my sister in crime and such a wonderful woman. Fuck her~ does she have weed? let’s steal it….

Fabulous you are, Lynne! It’s odd how easily we as women can be rocked by commentary on our bodies. As a dancer I spend more time than most girls would care to in a leotard, so I do from time to time come to feel like my body is for public consumption, and I’m not immune to feeling stung by remarks, good or bad – even compliments make me self-conscious, like I know someone else is watching that which is intimately mine. I’m responsible for its care and feeding, and someone else gets to weigh in (pun intended)? There is something not fair about that!

Comment on Whitney Houston by Lynne

There is definitely a broader issue here but I chose not to explore it. It was a casual personal statement and I chose to go into the vernacular to keep it light – to keep it real – and speak to the heart of the matter. I didn’t want to intellectualize it. I assume that’s what you are referring to when you said “use more elegant adjectives” Thanks for commenting.

Aloha Lynne – Without getting too analytical, this seems to be a sad offshoot of our worship of celebrity and things of the flesh in general. No human is perfect and none of us have the right to sit in judgement of others. The sadder and emptier one is, the more one turns outward to avoid looking inward. (Note: I would suggest use of more elegant adjectives to strengthen your point.) Aloha, Scott
