Words I needed to hear today
I receive a lot of comments on this website. Nearly 600 so far are logged. There are some that really just make my day... especially those that come from regular readers. There are some of you who respond to our entries every week and send me words of encouragement, and we really, really appreciate those.
Today I received one that I just really needed to hear today. I often wonder if I'm doing the right thing about putting my words out there. It scares me a lot. Sometimes people I know question my judgement of putting my story out there for anyone in the world to read. But its comments like this that make me realize its worth it:
(today's comment):
Just had to tell you how very moved I was by your words....I am struggling MIGHTILY with coming to terms with my own DID diagnosis (even though it is not a new thing...)
major battles still reign with not wanting ANYONE to know....and thereby preventing myself from being able to get the support I need.
Your words on your welcome page of Pilgrim's Journey resonated to my core.
THANK YOU THANK YOU for your honesty, your bravery, your articulate gift.
It made a stranger's journey just a touch less of a struggle this day to know I am not alone in the way I feel.
Even if its just one person that gets helped by this journal, then its worth it. The neat thing is, I receive e-mails and comments like this (not just here but also on my website) several times a month. I appreciate those comments so much. It makes me feel like I am making a difference somewhere.
Thank you.

Pilgrim, You DO make such a difference in so many ways. I am always enriched by what you say; even when you are having a hard time, even your struggles help others who are going through the same thing. We know we are not alone. The Real Me
