This is the first time I have visited your blog.<br /><br />I noticed you refered to an indy book. I see that reference all the time: i.e. indy rock, indy film, etc. I don't know what that means.

Thanks so much for your visit and you...Hi Yolanda ! Thanks so much for your visit and your sweet and friendly comment - I am happy to have connected with you in the lovely world of Blogland.<br /><br />I so agree about your call for positive gossip ! Some people call it Pollyanna (not sure why this is bad ?) but I am determined to make that kind of positive attitude and love sharing a part of my world in whatever ways possible. Life has enough challenges on its own without making it harder by senselessly hurting others with our words !<br />Today's Gossip :<br />So I hear there is this really cool chick who gives really great book reviews in Blogland...and check out her blog name - "Perfectly Imperfect" - how perfect is that !<br />Cheers !Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-85987205927116443372009-06-08T17:28:23.804-07:002009-06-08T17:28:23.804-07:00This book is on my list...I read "Peony in Lo...This book is on my list...I read "Peony in Love" and enjoyed it so I look forward to this one...and with your recommendation I'm sure I won't be disappointed.<br /><br />As for positive gossip...it's the only kind. In the past I've been as guilty as the next person for participating in (even just by listening) to negative gossip. I learned 4 years ago that life is too short for this kind of thing and only positive energy fits in my life.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting on my blog...nice to meet you!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-25859638382642382462009-06-08T07:51:41.712-07:002009-06-08T07:51:41.712-07:00I wrote a post about gossip a while back, in which...I wrote a post about gossip a while back, in which I outed myself. I generally like to see the positive in people and be a cheerleader for others. I think it shows strength of character, confidence, kindness, and wisdom and to do it openly and with wild abandon is just plain fun. Thanks for the reminder.<br />*Hugs*<br />CarolynnCarolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-7284769146386817222009-06-08T00:28:55.765-07:002009-06-08T00:28:55.765-07:00I do love the idea of positive gossip - we are all...I do love the idea of positive gossip - we are all human, and talking about others is an eternally fascinating topic! I really try to do the positive rather than the negative, but a reminder is always a good thing, for when those good intentions slip!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694425567973843826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-34043030562011974282009-06-06T17:56:58.692-07:002009-06-06T17:56:58.692-07:00You always seem to read the most interesting books...You always seem to read the most interesting books! Adding another to my list...<br /><br />I so agree with your postive gossip outlook. Have been very guilty of joining in the gossiping also. Several years ago, in Wyoming, I worked at a place that consisted of a bunch of women and one Doctor. It was a horrible gossip mill and you could be sure when leaving the room that the conversation would turn to you. Now, I love those ladies and they are still my friends, but when we moved out here I made a pact with myself to not join in that kind of thing anymore. I've done okay, though I have to remind myself from time to time to leave a conversation that's turning that direction. Now you've made me think to try to turn it around and make it positive. <br /><br />I received my book from you today. Thanks so much, Yolanda! It's on my nightstand, ready to read next. Looks really good!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016439610436864684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-53659766948581102572009-06-06T08:07:01.662-07:002009-06-06T08:07:01.662-07:00I heartily agree with you about trying to be posit...I heartily agree with you about trying to be positive in our comments about others.

I know that there are many different versions, but this is what we tried to practice:<br />Before you speak, ask yourself;<br />is it true..<br />is it kind..<br />is it necessary?<br /><br />If we could answer YES to all three, it was fine to speak and say something about someone.<br />It is amazing how this brings our words and thoughts into a positive and constructive path.<br />Thanks for the reminder.<br />Happy and fulfilled weekend to you.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245099394863979981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-86522685915191731562009-06-05T19:22:33.583-07:002009-06-05T19:22:33.583-07:00mmmmmm, so you think I should pick this up?mmmmmm, so you think I should pick this up?Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851293154388793520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24682327.post-27598687428299472062009-06-05T19:03:01.641-07:002009-06-05T19:03:01.641-07:00This sounds like another good read.

Why don't we feed ourselves with the emotional nourishment we crave?
