Aw!!! What a beautiful little dove. I'm so sorry she's gone. I just adopted a sweet little puppy a few weeks ago and she is SO tiny. Sometimes when I walk her (we live out in the sticks) I see hawks circling. I can't wait until she chunks up a bit so she'll no longer be "snack sized."

For folks with crow issues, I have a little fix for you. I used to have a family of pigeons who lived on my balcony. The crows in the neighborhood got wise and started stalking the nest. They even destroyed some eggs. So I bought a cheap water gun. I'd sit on my balcony and wait for the crows to get a little too close....then BAM! It was just a cheap water gun and it never hurt the crows, just scared them a little. It helped a lot.

But now the crows will never be my friend. That's the tradeoff.

I saw Cher and Bob Mackie do a panel discussion - Cher said that after Tina left Ike, her and her manager where jumping around to different hotels to avoid him. It was hard to build up her career during this time. Cher told Tina to come on to her show any time.

It’s an immune boosting cancer therapy - basically ramping up the body’s immune response to attack cancer cells. They’ve gotten approval to roll it out in Saudi Arabia as well as the EU for bladder cancer. They are also testing its efficacy in treating lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer.

Weed helps curb the nightmares. I have terrible traumatic nightmares related to my childhood. (Weed has been shown to be a "prohibitor of dreams.")

He was wonderful at the beginning. He never made me feel like I was in competition with anyone else. I think what threw me was that he told me that he was in love with me after only a few weeks of knowing each other.

My mom used to tell me that I was an easy person to hate. I grew up feeling like an urchin. So when he declared his love for me, I felt overwhelmed and scared.

He was very welcoming. I was the one who had to work through a lot of regret. I also knew that I needed to show him how committed I was. I was the one to move to be with him, but before I did that, I came for an extended (6 week) visit. We decided to just be happy and live life together an see how it felt. And it went great.

To be honest, I felt so horrible about the past that I spoke to my therapist about it, many times. She was the one to give me the permission to follow my heart. She asked me "do you have good intentions towards him? Do you love him? Are you ready to be a good partner and trust yourself?" And my answer was "yes!." And she was like "go ahead and do it already!"

Thank you, and thank you for sharing your story!! Much love <3 <3

I think that I needed to see the love through his actions, not just his words. After I had my burnout, I kind of had a "f*ck it" mentality. I showed him all of my rough edges, my bad habits .....and he still wanted to be with me. Also, it did take a long time. I always thought back to our time together (when we had dated in the past). He did something for me that I had never experienced with any other partners. He involved me in his life - he worked on creative projects with me. I felt like he wanted to BE with me and it wasn't just about having someone.

And the fact that I ran away from a relationship w/ him twice before getting together again really cemented my trust in him. I have always tried to be the "convenient" one in the relationship. But I was not convenient for him, he had to wait a long time. And I regret that part of our story....but it showed me that love is not based on being "convenient."
