Wow, you are such a thoughtful person. What a great story ;)

What a cool idea...and a beautiful thing to do on behalf of your love of your curezone friends. I really didn't expect to tear up, but I did.

I will always think of you as Jesse the turtle's human mommy - bringing him back to health, and then him passing that huge stone! (and other smaller ones if I recall correctly???)

You, are one cool and endearing lady!

Love to you,
Karen

that is beautiful. we should all feel about each other the same way. i know i do. it wouldnt be the same without everybody here, trolls and all. i dont detect too many trolls. i think they figured out like webbie did that nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd. i know that google spiders this site almost continually because i can search and the post i just made come up in the search, only a few hours afterward. on the first page, too. depending on the search terms i used. but they already have that URL logged in hours, maybe minutes for all i know. it used to be days or weeks before it showed up in searches. thats going back a ways.

speaking of good old days, have you ever looked at the original curezone layout? its a gas at the wayback machine.

Dear Freya,

WOW! HarmonicChange! I love it! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

I am so touched you thought about me and my CZ Handle!

I got goosebumps while looking at all your creative sand art dedications.

Thank you so much,

It is the best Christmas present ever!

Love HarmonicChange

I want to upgrade my name to that now!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you kindly for your thoughts. I was actually a bit concerned for posting this here, as it had next to nothing with Iodine (other than love). I have always considered this forum my second home, which is why my “freya” images folder is a sub-folder of the Iodine forum.

Atreya: thank your for your kind words.

Hiawawa: I’ve always thought of you as one of the most loving, sensitive and special of my CZ “buddies”. You were never farther than one thought from me. I truly appreciate your kindness, and your ability to be as much a part of CZ as I ever wanted to be, had I had more time on my hands. I know for sure, many, many CureZoners feel the same. Yes, Jesse-the-Turtle is my “second son” – this is a bit of a murky definition, since my son thinks Jesse is mostly “his” and sometimes “our” baby. Bottom line, Jesse is quite possibly the most adored turtle in the world. He did pass 2 huge stones and some smaller ones, the pics are in the same folder. I have a beautiful story of him coming up – probably next week, when I have 5 business days off and hope to be around a lot more than usual. I’m sorry I made you cry, it was not my intention to do so. If they were tears of joy, it’s all right, it’s part of the cleansing process – understanding just how loved and appreciated you are, even when you think the opposite. Reality and our perception of it are sometimes (most times) two different things  We love you.

Trapper: Thank you. I’m speechless. You are one of the cornerstones of CZ and I love you to pieces.

HarmonicChange: I’m so glad you like your new ‘nickname’. It was an honest mistake, perhaps a serendipitous one. I have to say, I was a bit uncomfortable upon my return, when I realized I had made a mistake, but I thought the best thing to do is “come clean” and maybe I’d be forgiven. I also thought it was a befitting name for you, and I’m very happy you love it  “the best Christmas present ever”??? You sure know how to make eyes water!...

Wommie: Cornerstone of CZ and Iodine Supp. Forum. Amazing, amazing person. I’m speechless again. I totally understand what you mean when you say: “My life, too, is forever changed because of CZ”. Mine would have ended for sure, had I not found CZ when I did (I’m NOT being a drama queen, it’s just the naked truth and I tell it to all willing to listen).

“I wish that I knew when you were doing that”. It was actually Oct 14 2008, one day before my trip to Petra (that’s the Petra in the heart – my heart – almost 20 years in the making). How did you know what it was like that day, on the beach? It’s just like you were there! Are you an intuitive? It was a summer afternoon, the air was crisp, “the sounds of iron and wine were on the breeze, the bees were buzzing and the birds were flitting about” Yes!!! The picture is Names In The Sand26. Later, a “crystal clear evening” rolled in with a gorgeous sunset Names In The Sand27. I would not know about the evenings in “the high sierra” – sigh – I wish I did. Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful song. It was the one playing in my heart, that day.

You are all my beloved friends, and I love you all to the tiniest of pieces.
