I'm stealing this idea from Kat...I love cards. If you'd like one from me so I can tell you how awesome I think you are please send me your address! I have to warn you though...it will probably be sappy!
If you need mine (and it's no biggie if you don't) here it is...

Happy Christmas or Happy Whatever you Celebrate to all my friends...
So last year I was a little shy about getting involved in the whole Christmas/Holiday/Winter/Chanukkah card exchange thingy here on LJ - actually only did it with two or three of my friends here. But this year I'm stepping out.
I'd absolutely LOVE to exchange cards with anyone interested. If you are - let me know and we'll trade details. I can't promise mine will be as rocking as other peoples but I'll give it a go.
In the meantime - HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY FRIENDS here on Live Journal. I'm so thankful for this site. With all the negative and maddening things going on other places - this was a refuge. And I'm so grateful for that and YOU ALL.
Much Love, Barbara
P.S. I have screened my comments so I think that means no one can see what you write but me? Right? Hee!
What are the plans for those of you going to see Jake's play. When are you all going? I'm trying to make my own plans and am interested to know what's been planned so far?
It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

REBLOG to spread a message of love, unity and peace.
Earlier this week I shared a very personal post with my LJ friends...
Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond and say such kind things. You all have no idea how much hearing from you all has helped. How did I get so lucky?
I am a work in progress - and I'm trying hard to remember what it felt like before I had this crisis of confidence and faith. The "most important relationship" I mentioned - well making it my top priority has been a good thing. I pray every day for the strength and wisdom for both of us to find our way back.
So thank you all again for being so kind and loving. I'm going to try to continue to be the best person I can be. I'm surrounded by some pretty good examples.
Sometimes I wish I could go back to the time when the fandom was just beginning. I really liked my life back then and quite frankly I liked who I was then. It was such a happy time, those few short years ago. Now - not so much. I keep trying to figure out when I became this person... the person that seems to hurt people and the person who seems to disappoint people. The person that inspires sarcasm and disdain from those around her.
I cry everyday and wonder if I'm truly loved by anyone but my parents. Am I even worth loving anymore? I try to put on a happy face - but I feel like the song "Tears Of A Clown" is my own personal anthem.
I am struggling at my new job at work - quite frankly I suck at it and my management, who did not want me from the start, are probably not surprised.
Spending so much time glued to this bloody computer hanging on every word written about Luke and Noah and Van and Jake has taken on toll on my most important relationship. I guess I did not really see what was happening right in front of my own eyes.
Remember when Noah told Luke that he wanted 5 minutes before the accident back cause it was the happiest time of his life? I wish I could have some of the last 3 years back. The parts of those 3 years where I was not a good friend, not a good partner and not a good daughter. I'd never give up the experiences I've had or the people I've met or the boys themselves for that matter. I'd just like to have the chance to do it better.
I want to learn again to be brave, present and I want to get my "sparkle" back. Someone I really respect told me once I lost it...maybe it's still out there for me. I really just want to be someone that people want in their life. Because in the end I really am just the chubby little girl needing and wanting people to love her.
It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools.

The choice has been made. You've been told the hard and sad truth. He's moved on and as painful as it will be, I want you too as well. Go to Los Angeles and find a life that will make you happy and fulfilled. Your a wonderful, caring, sensitive and loving man. You have so much to offer anyone that is lucky enough to be in your life.
I will never forget watching you find yourself and become the proud man that you are. It's been my pleasure to follow you and root for you. My affection for you runs deep.
