I sort of know, but I don't have any hard evidence. <br> <br>One of my favorite aspects of the blog is how it allows us to record our lives. It has been a great way for me to look back and remember. <br> <br>It is great that you are able to use this to write yourself a letter and see how far you have come.Jackhttp://wwwjackbenimble.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-1671836334167739442010-05-10T09:07:36.000-07:002010-05-10T09:07:36.000-07:00You are so wise, Amber.

I believe that our perception of ourselves is what we project to the outside world. Without love of self, how can we ever recognize love when we receive it from others, let alone give it to others?Belinda Munoz + Thehttp://thehalfwaypoint.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-80086946277823612352010-05-08T11:45:31.000-07:002010-05-08T11:45:31.000-07:00I LOVE this post.I LOVE this post.Michellehttp://thoughtsfromanutchelle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-16249475585080186332010-05-08T10:47:38.000-07:002010-05-08T10:47:38.000-07:00Amber, the most miraculous thing you did is that y...Amber, the most miraculous thing you did is that you believed in yourself. I also wrote goals for myself but found that I didn't achieve them until much later and disappointment in myself marked my life. What I like about your goals is that they were rock solid, they were eternal, and they were achievable. Mine was none of that, so hat's off to the very wise 12-year-old Amber!Linda at Bar Mitzvahhttp://barmitzvahzilla.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-90003112006175026612010-05-07T22:57:09.000-07:002010-05-07T22:57:09.000-07:00Good to hear your "voice" again!
