That was a beautiful note - totally heartfelt. Thanks Bourbon. You sound like you are a very emotionally wise person - I think you've made a smart decision re taking a break - but don't take too long hon! We all count on you. Don't underestimate your advice or your pull with the other s.g. owners in here. You pooh pooh it when people tell you how grateful they are or what you've done for them. You DO make a difference. We need you. I can't speak for everyone I guess, but I NEED YOU. So take a break and get your buns back here - don't make us hunt you down! Just kidding, I'll respect your wishes, but I can't help but whine about it a little.....Susan
: Please, do not respond to this post...
: I am taking some time away from this board awhile, I seemed to have misinterpeted what Jane had meant in her post. I am not going to go into detail here if you wish to know what it was concerning please read my apology letter to her. I wish to take this time to thank each and every one of you who sent me the emails and asked me not to leave. I am at this time in dire need of some space between myself and others I may accidently misinterpet. I have felt as If I have been on the defensive and that isn't me. I got an email this morning from a woman I had helpped who said I gave her hope when everyone including herself had given up. She is now bonded to her glider, and she goes everywhere with her, I in turn responded with it wasn't me.. it was you.. I am not a expert, a guru, a glider goddess, or even a breeder. What I do know is out of the 65 people I have helpped that only 2 didn't bond with their glider. All I know is what I know, I know what has worked for me and countless others, and many times it isn't just one thing. If something don't work try something else. But please, don't try a lot of things at once, and give each thing a chance to work. You people have the answers.. if you look into your heart and put yourselves into that sweet little body, and try to feel what it feels. That is all I do.. I become one with my gliders. I teach the owners to become one with theirs. While I am gone. Look and feel from the gliders eye..from their heart.. If you were a glider how would you feel if a big giant you had never seen before was chasing you, grabbing you, pulling you around. How would you react? Take a look at life through an unbonded gliders heart, what had he just went through? Many times they are taken from mom and dad, ripped away and placed sometimes in a cardboard box, placed into the home of someone they don't know, who is this person does he want to eat me? and many times isn't even given a chance to feel safe in his pouch or nestbox, before they are jerked out and someone is trying to hold them..I know if it were me.. I would bite , kick and scream, I would do whatever I had to to get away..And if anyone thinks for one minute that i would stand by and allow myself to be caught,, they are saddly mistaken... So Please.. do some REAL role playing.. Get into their hearts, become one with your bundle of joy..Understand where they are coming from, what they are feeling.. You will do fine .. each and everyone of you..
