Love this!!!!!! And if I'm going to read a rant (which is rare), this is the kind I like! That kind that rants about how dumb rants are! I have zero interest in reading anything that is about whining, complaining, self-pitying drivel. Tell me a tough story and give me your inspiring win, too. Don't just say "poor me, what a crap life!" and leave it lying there. I won't read it.
Can't cope with reading a lot of negativity so I won't go near it unless there's a high point, a positive message, something of benefit - that lovely value proposition you mentioned!
Great story, Mary! Thank you, oh, beautiful like-minded soul! xoxo
