Nat's my fav. by a mile. 2nd fav. is Ryan but I still don't like his girlfriend & don't want her dictating how he spends the $$ if he wins.

Like I said earlier.I guess I have a different opinion than some when it comes to Natalie. I think she judges herself harder than she does anyone else. To me, it is why she shares her so called "sins."

I had a bad childhood...we were very poor, too many kids, and abused...suffise it to say I was MISERABLE...and somewhere around high school age I made a promise to myself, that since I decided not to kill myself, and I was going to live in this world...that once I had control of MY life, that I would live happy and have a great attitude and smile, and make others smile. I vowed to never let anyone or anything "negative" get me down for long... .and I have had it no other way since, and I am 52. My husband says I am too much of an idealist, but I just say I am a "positive" person. I see a lot of myself in Natalie...delusions and all. I am waaay too forgiving, and always see the best in everyone, at first, anyway. And I KNEW when Mattie was gone, that Nat wouldn't "curl up and die"...because she is a SURVIVOR (emotionally surviving is just as hard as physically survivng abuse) and I KNEW, just like Nat said, "Believe me! I have gone through MUCH WORSE than Mattie leaving, and I am still strong!" AND I knew SHE WOULD be.... Yea happy go-lucky Natalie.....you keep on keeping on and I will always be a fan!

Jushvnfn...you are sooo right....that is exactly why Nat does that.... Many years of therapy finally explained to me why I have always done that....point out your faults before anyone else can....pretend it doesn't bother you, because you are so hurt by it, that you don't want to give the "attacker" the satisfaction of appearing vulnerable.

Cacaye! Oh My gosh your post was almost the same as one I started to post but didn't finish when my connection went. I grew up poor. No biggie but we always wore hand me downs and were picked on, I suffered all the way thru High school, and 5 yrs into my first marriage I realised it was time to pick up my head and know that I wasn't the awkward ugly person I let people confidence me I was! I left an abusive marriage when my son was 3, I remarried when he was 10 and in May I will be Married 30 yrs. I know what it is like to look out a window and wonder why with so many people anyone should be lonely! I met my Now Hubby and seen Goodness in the ole rednecks Beautiful Blue eyes and have never regreted it. and to use your Quote ***Yea happy go-lucky Natalie.....you keep on keeping on and I will always be a fan! Hugs Linda

Well, I'm merely a novice at this but was inspired by you all to at least try. So here goes my contribution. For the more talented banner makers, use it as a challenge to make a better one in honor of Natalie, please.
