I think you are a fabulous person! My little family and my extended family now have a vested interest in you and all of yours. I feel like I'm part of your life and it makes me a better person. To all those nay-sayers I say "find something else to do." We real readers enjoy your life and wish better for you and yours. We love you and adore you and are grateful for the awesome experiences you choose to share with us that enlighten and uplift each of our days and therefor our lives! Thanks for all you are and all you do and don't let the others get you down.Just us!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08950899385158736272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-11526448240832911162009-01-03T19:14:00.000-07:002009-01-03T19:14:00.000-07:00Maybe someone already said this, but isn't it self-centered to think a blogger is interested in your negative comment? I mean, doesn't everyone know if you can't say something nice, you shouldn't say anything at all? Plus, I'm all sorts of bugged that someone would be mean to CJANE!!!basquegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01632761989296122611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-6249258745307437532009-01-03T19:00:00.000-07:002009-01-03T19:00:00.000-07:00Yeah, like everyone else said! I kind of can't believe someone said something mean to you.

I know you are a jokester, and that's why I enjoy your blog; perhaps the negative commenter doesn't have a sense of humor....or doesn't understand that it is YOUR blog....obviously doesn't understand blogging (as you mentioned)...who knows? However I hope those comments don't make you give a second thought on who you are....not self centered at all. I see that you have a much better, cooler and slick reply to someone's negative comments than I would.Loriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14071258218355465718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-2127339672929784502009-01-03T18:37:00.000-07:002009-01-03T18:37:00.000-07:00Up till now I've been a quiet stalker of your life... When I check my own blog (20 times a day) I always look to see if you've updated. Seriously, you're adorable. I have NEVER thought of you as self-centered and I KNEW that you're self proclaimed "angel-wings" was simply humor. I am an angel myself... well- perhaps more the mary poppins "practically perfect" mother of 6 type. In the book Glimpses, Sister Hinckley said, "There are times in life when you have to laugh or cry. I choose to laugh because crying makes my head hurt." The older I've gotten the more profound I think this is. Thanks for helping us laugh through all of our hard times...

I believe, we are most critical of what we perceive in others as what we feel inside ourselves. Not sure if that sentence makes sense. I'm sure that person feels a sense of void in their life. It's just a shame that it came out directed at you. Never fear, you are lovely and amazing!Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17638512029401567876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-2067818231411098522009-01-03T17:48:00.000-07:002009-01-03T17:48:00.000-07:00mean people suck.<BR/><BR/>to know you is to love you.<BR/><BR/>i lub you.Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16577867442326388458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-41645185294165321352009-01-03T17:44:00.000-07:002009-01-03T17:44:00.000-07:00I'm one of your fans out there that is rarely (well, almost never!) motivated to post a comment. I have to say that I really hurt for you that someone was so cruel. It bothered me so much that I couldn't let it go until I posted a reply!<BR/>Your family is inspiring, and I read your blog because you are so giving and real and compassionate. I felt I should say all this because so often the people who have complaints seem to be heard louder than those of us cheering you on silently from our computers. You go girl!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13151793807641644569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-25249076058857170682009-01-03T17:39:00.000-07:002009-01-03T17:39:00.000-07:00You are the hub of your family, you stay in the center.

You are a light to all of us who read and are inspired by your selfless love and service to all around you. My very pregnant daughter saw you on campus a few weeks ago. She chose to let you have your privacy but was so touched by a smile and loving wave from Jane. She knew who she was and waved back. Thanks for being such a great influence. You are loved and Nie's children have been blessed by you as there retro-mom. You are touching many lives!!

To change your whole life in and instant to make sure that your sister's children are well loved and taken care of in their great time of need and security! I have been grateful every time I have checked this blog to find updates on NieNie and her sweet children. I find your humor a breath of fresh air. I don't know why some people feel the need to be so hateful! They must be very unhappy in life!<BR/>Oh and I contribute to cancer every October and buy something new for my salon!

Your humor is contagious and if anyone is offended by that then they should find another blog to read - its not like they are being forced to read anyway.

I love your blog, especially when it pertains to your perceptions of yourself (gasp) because it reminds me of my own brand of introspection. Now THAT is narcissism--I like you because you remind me of me, not that I am even 1/1000th the woman of eloquence and substance that you are. Carry on!!!

I think that's the nature of human-ness and of sin that entered the world back with Adam. When we do selfless acts (like share our sip of smoothie with our baby or raise our beloved sister's kids for months and months when we just had our own first cherished child), i think that is little glimmers of God in us. <BR/>When we then get excited that we are looking a little more like God and pat ourselves on the back - ACK! - we have to go back to the drawing board and work on our PRIDE! <BR/>hahahaha! <BR/>Isn't being HUMAN an adventure?<BR/>There is not other option though, so we might as well embrace it and dance with it.<BR/>xo,<BR/>StacieOur Tribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06660051290707780261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-13909121261074097062009-01-03T16:00:00.000-07:002009-01-03T16:00:00.000-07:00Its so hard when people judge you and don't understand the situation.

You, my darling, C Jane, are the polar opposite of self-centered. A blog is after all about the person who writes it and the people and happenings in his or her world. If anyone becomes offended, then the answer is simple--don't read. Write one instead.

It has been my absolute pleasure to be able to donate money in honor of such a beautiful, loving family. I have also kept Nie Nie, Christian, and the rest of your family nestled closely within my prayers. Although I am Jewish, and you are LDS, it truly makes NO difference to me. We are all individuals who belong to the very same race...the Human Race, and because of that, we are all family.<BR/><BR/>I am sure that the negative comments sting terribly, especially when they are being made at such a trying and difficult time of your life. But I look at it this way. The people who say those things are lonely, angry souls who have had difficulty in their own lives, and therefore, have a need to "vent" at the expense of well, YOU. They feel comfortable doing so anonymously because they feel that there can be no backlash in doing so. This is what you need to remember, and I know that it is hard to do when you are so darned "self-centered"! The comments are not reflections of YOU, as much as they are reflections of THEM. <BR/><BR/>Continue doing what you are doing. Your motives are very apparent and cannot be tainted by the psychological issues of others who wish to cause grief.<BR/><BR/>With continued healing prayers,<BR/>DebbieDebra Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-13296874565827952712009-01-03T15:37:00.000-07:002009-01-03T15:37:00.000-07:00C jane,<BR/><BR/>I have never commented before, but I have participated in the various fundraisers which have been held to assist your family.
