Just a bit of both :P good stuff

Ok so now I'm really really hoping that my story will be in the sun news paper tomorrow. Had some set backs with it but it's all good. I am nervous but excited because since I've been writing to inmates or since being an "inmate supporter" I have been wanting to try bring awareness to it and how it can help. I think it's rewarding for both sides really. I just pity the judgemental people who do not have an open heart or open mind about this this subject, well I don't pity them I feel sad for them.  Just the past Sunday I had had my first negative response. From a woman that I thought I would have built a friendship with, so of course I was a bit upset about it, it's like I told Scott after receiving the text messages from that woman "people like her are the reason why I'm doing this story!" It's true. There's no time in life to have a closed off heart or a closed off mind, it's people like her that don't understand that there are church goers, men and women in the army, lawyers and a whole network of people who write to inmates. How do I know this? I know this because before I decided to write I looked into it and I was reading that there are those kind of people that are writing to inmates as well the lawyers and judges are of course not writing about cases and such they write to give that company, after all at the end of the day it's the jury who decides what that person is guilty of and the judge is only a person who deals them their sentencing, so my only reply to the negative commenters is " I am not a judgemental person!" It saddens me that there can be soooo many close minded people out there.

Anyway, on another not I received a name drawing from Raphael today along with a nice long letter :) and I had also received some pictures of Eric's work today as well along with a "thinking of you card" so I have to say.....OMG ERIC IS SOOOO TALENTED HE'S GOT SUCH A GREAT HAND AT DRAWING! As well as Raphael :D so I took some pictures of the art for you lot and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:) I will be sending some pictures for Eric to draw for me this Thursday and I can't wait to see them in art form!

So here they are my personal favorite is that of the little girl looking to the side :D

I have to say as well that I had a problem with ny camera picking up and focusing because the drawings were soooo realistic that the face detection came on lol.

Anyway until next time.
