Dear Dr ET, my name is Vicky and this is your Showering Acts of Joy member to member review in honour of your birthday. I have chosen to comment on Dear Me, a Light-hearted Cross Reference

I enjoyed your letter very much. I suppose I am a very nosy person so the idea of reading something so private piques my interest. I thought that you were exceptionally honest in what you have written. Self criticism comes very easily, however we just file it away for further reference. Here you have willingly cast all of your faults and flaws and *gasp* failures in black and white. This takes a lot of courage.

What I saw in this piece was an overwhelming desire to change. I could see that you want to shake off the apathy and cast aside the old bad habits.

Personally I think you were exceptionally hard on yourself.

Your letter was exceptionally well written. It flowed beautifully and had a wonderful intimacy to it. It definitely touched close to home for me as I have recently been guilty of procrastinating so it has given me a good kick in the pants, thanks for that.

What I absolutely love about what you have written is the fact that this comes across as being real, no fancy, flowery phrases. Nothing seems dressed up, intended to impress who ever stumbles across it.

I enjoyed your humor and that while you “tell it like it is” you do not whip yourself and wallow in self pity over the things that have not yet been done.

This has been a very enjoyable read and I believe that you are definitely a talented writer. I am going to take a look at the rest of your portfolio.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Keep writing
