Stuff I Wish You’d Quit Saying…  You’re SOOOO AWFUL!

 Stuff I Wish You’d Quit Saying…  You’re SOOOO AWFUL!

I remember the first hate mail I got this time last year. I have never been so shocked.  Keep in mind I had a handful of readers, most of whom were family or friends and basically agreed with me.  So when An Open Letter to my Children: You’re Not That Great, went viral I was undone by the hate. I didn’t know people would ever even care, let alone want to “Beat me to death while your children children watch.”

As things calmed down and the Vomit blog went viral, I thought, “Surely no one can get mad over this?”

Employees who are forced to go to work when they have a stomach bug were not amused.

And then… “Stop praying for me really hard,” published.  And it was a butt-kicking.

I am not ever fully prepared to be told off, in spite of the snark, I am not a fan of confrontation.  No post of mine has ever been more misinterpreted than “Stop Praying for me…” I find it ironic that this podcast, that led the girls at “They Say” to interview me was part of my Write 31 Days series last year. And last night as I lie doped up on Phenergan believing I would die from this stomach bug the irony increased.  There will continue to be people that disagree with me, wishing I was dead. But the truth is, this is all I meant by the post.  I can’t make everyone read to the bottom and there’s no way that everyone will agree with me… but this is the heart of that post. It is a short interview and it was so much fun. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Thanks for having me on your show girls!  It was so fun, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to listen to this podcast where I talk about “Praying God’s Will.”  

May your floors be sticky and your calling ordained.  Love Jami
