		<description>Kim,

Thanks for taking time to comment. I&#039;m happy that my post clarified things for you, and hopefully for your ex-boyfriend. It&#039;s not an easy lesson to learn to WAIT before speaking about something that has touched a nerve. I&#039;m grateful a friend &quot;tweeted&quot; to me and saved me from myself. 

The results of my waiting and then speaking from the heart have been nothing short of amazing. I still hear from people who appreciated my post on another site directed at Joel Comm. 

Apparently I put into words what a huge number of people also felt but didn&#039;t know how to express. It&#039;s that heart thing. When we tap into it, we speak authentically, which always resonates with people.

Thank you again for stopping by and leaving a comment. If you have any writer friends, send them this way.

		<description>Thanks for posting this.  I was having a phone conversation with my x-boyfriend and he used the term &quot;venting my spleen&quot; to describe how he had expressed himself.  I asked him what he would say if he spoke from his heart about the topic he was toiling over and he was in silence, struggling for words.  Then I googled &#039;spleen&#039; to see what the Chinese medicine folks say and he asked me to google the whole phrase ... and tada, your blog.

I agree with you comments and find my life enriched by clarity and willingness to put a whole-hearted effort into communication, which is informed by intellect and emotion, but not limited to them.

Thanks for your post!

		<description>Carrie,

Lovely thoughts in your comments. I truly am grateful for the support Lynn&#039;s group has shown me. I wanted to make a difference, but WOW, I never dreamed it would be that big of a difference. Have you seen Joel&#039;s new page? Lynn has the link. Not sure where she&#039;s putting it.

Again, thanks.
