inspiring

I had never read up on the Jaycee Dugard story, but only knew of it through some news snippets here and there.  I watched her Diane Sawyer interview from last night just this morning and was completely blown away by her story. For her to even come out and tell her story and to even write a book was amazing to me. I can't even begin to imagine what she went through. Also, as a mother, I can't imagine what her own mother went through. What's inspiring to me is that she's living her life today to the fullest and isn't letting what happened to her define who she is.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm now following you as well.
    I didn't know that she wrote a book. I didn't know much about her story either. I'll have to check out this book.

    Thanks for the follow. I'm now following you too.

    The Jaycee Dugard story is a heart wrenching tale. I'm looking forward to reading her book. Modern-day slavery, which is exactly what she experienced, happens much more than what people think. It's all around us and under our very noses.

    Thanks for posting about this.

    I found you on Mommy Bloggers. I followed you a few days ago. I did watch the Jaycee story. There is no excuse for the probation officers.
    On another note, I love that you blog about being a first time mom. I am a mom of 7 and I wish I had recorded more of those precious early memories. Happy Blogging! Melissa

    Oh wow... I had no idea she wrote a book! I will definitely be checking that out! Anyway, thank so much for commenting on "My Little Boob Man" and following my blog! I'm a little late getting back to you because my spam filter ate your comment, and I just saw it now! LOL

    Anyway, I'm following you via GFC! I will stop by and read more later when I'm done catching up with everyone who commented but landed in the abyss of my spam filter!

    Have a great weekend!

    Smiles, Jenn
