Odd Girl In

Great article! I've always been a when-in-doubt-throw-it-out type myself, and my husband will say, "I'm coming right back to read that," when he gets up from reading to go do anything else. He's afraid I'll put his magazine away if he leaves it for a minute or two. He's right.

My is a different kind of disorder, but it is a disorder. I hate stuff.

You really are a great writer, and a high achiever, you know that, right?

I like to think so. I'm proud of the writing I have been doing lately especially--which is a weird thing for me to say as I always loved to minimize my achievements on Courting. Not anymore!

Oh Pia, I cried when I read this. The list of hurdles that you have overcome just blew me away. Any other person would have crumbled under the weight.

As for being proud, I have a friend that says we should shout out loud and tell the world about our talents. She screams on the golf course and everyone within listening distance knows what a wonderful shot she has just made. It makes me smile. You are so talented and the world should know it. I will shout for you!

Be well.

What I love about you, Pia, is that you've figured out who you are, and you're proud of yourself. That's a goal toward which we should all strive.

I've spent hours beating myself up over my imperfect housekeeping skills, my poor organizational skills, my basement full of stuff and on and on...but I'm beginning to realize as well that I'm a pretty damn awesome person and the rest doesn't mean a hill of beans.

We certainly have nothing to apologize for, do we?

It's quite a coup for those who find this series.

That you can go through it and write about it, splendidly for that matter, it a great thing and testament you you writing and you. Others will only benefit from this.

I truly am trying to spur on dialogue about NLD. Had I known that I had it I wouldn't have allowed myself to be used as I was in my internship for one important thing
I continually made life much more difficult for myself than I should have. It's so important to know what's wrong. only then can you successfully overcome the obstacles without being blindfolded
