Comments on: A Retraction And An Apology https://anempoweredspirit.com/retraction-apology/ Cathy Chester, MS Advocate shares decades of wisdom Sun, 30 May 2021 23:34:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: shifrachester@gmail.com https://anempoweredspirit.com/retraction-apology/#comment-25970 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 07:02:57 +0000 http://anempoweredspirit.clients.kidaweb.com/2014/12/30/retraction-apology/#comment-25970 Cris,

It was more than my pleasure to reach out to you to help your cause and all of those beautiful horses who are changing people's lives in more ways than I can imagine.

Thank you for your kind words as I try to move past this horrible experience. People can be cruel sometimes. To quote an episode from the TV show MASH the character Radar said, "Animals are people too." Yes, and animals provide unconditional love and are, in many ways, better than people. I think you will agree.

Here's to a new slate and new and better journeys in 2015. To you, your family, the horses and all of the volunteers and people you help, Happy, Happy and a Blessed New Year, Cris. Thank you for reaching out.

I am sorry this happened to you and has caused you to feel hurt and stressed. You knew nothing about me and your support and belief in my purpose and mission as I try to bring Full Circle to life gave me the boost I needed to keep on striving to reach my goals. Please don't let this experience stop you from helping others with the power of your words as there are a lot of people trying their best to do a lot of good that need your help. I hope 2015 brings you much joy and success in all that you do. Thank you again from the horses and people at Full Circle Equine Rehabilitation Center!

The skeptic in me came out with this incident there are too many 'stories' but your Empowered Spirit is a calming read for that I thank you.

I'll need a little time to get over this one, but I know that I have people who love and care about me, and my blessings far outweigh all else. Just like you have! You are a dear friend, and I appreciate your kind words. xo

Unfortunately the older we get I'm afraid the more cynical we become. The opposite of what you and I like to do.

Yes, I will research everything and never let my emotions rule.

I will never understand human behavior, eh?

Thank you for your kind comments. They truly mean a lot to me.

I can so relate to the sense of embarrassment you must have felt. I have occasionally passed on a "story" on FB that then was pointed out to be an urban legend. Why do people have the need to fabricate stories - just to see them circulating and feel a weird sense of power from that? Twisted minds...
In any case, you did the right thing - level with your readers. It shows respect for us and yourself. And I bet you'll double-check your facts even more compulsively in the future 🙂

Learning from our mistakes, regardless of our age, demonstrates maturity. Admitting our mistakes demonstrates character. You, my friend, have a pretty good handle on both of these things. #don'tbeatyourselfup 🙂 Happy New Year!

So we'll have to agree to disagree about this story, and I'll continue to focus on stories about MS. Thank you for sharing your comment.

Thanks for writing about the hard times for our friends.
