If you know me IRL you might know that I have been a fan of the Bravo reality series, The Real Housewives of (insert any city) since the beginning. The NYC group of ladies had me hooked immediately due to one, Bethanny Frankel. She was so easy to love then hate but she was the most REAL, since leaving the show she has become a very successful entrepreneur, making her way into marriage and finally becoming a mother.
I have always thought that Bethanny was a total nut. Being a little different doesn't make you crazy but she came across as a wee bit unstable in the first two seasons with her razor sharp tongue and tendency to gossip about her so-called friends. I was not a fan then but she added to the intrigue of the show. I grew irritated with her when she spun off with her own show(s) thinking that her minutes of fame should have timed out. I have not watched anything other than clips of her latest show, Bethanny Ever After until last night.
It knocked me down a few notches when I heard some of the things that she was saying. Those same things have come out of my mouth in previous months. She said that she is difficult to love and that she pushes people away or runs. While she was at least able to articulate what she was thinking much better than I ever could, the words were eerily similar. And again, I felt that punch in the gut.

Bethenny was always one of my favorites. Now that she's married, and has a baby, I am so happy for her. The point is that if she can do it, so can you (if that's what you want). Don't look to others for your validation. Yes, some of the things people say resonate with you, but don't envy them, and live your own life. You got it goin' on in your own way.
Thank you for your comment Peachy. I'm just in the process of getting my arms around me and understand myself better.
It is good to see you here!
AMEN Peachy.
