Thank you so, so much for your lov...Hello, Isabel:<br /><br />Thank you so, so much for your lovely comment. I do still find my little concept of heaven helpful when I'm missing my loved ones. I feel like I'm in something of a transition right now, pretty much stuck geographically where I am, when I want to be traveling. I'm also trying prayer as a "connecting to the universal consciousness" and positive affirmation sort of thing, not as actual prayers to God, and that's helping, too.<br /><br />If you need any help finding any of our reviews, everything I've ever written, and everything anyone contributing to my site has ever written, is available on the pages on the top menu of Doux Reviews: Featured TV Shows, All TV Shows, Movie reviews, Book reviews, Articles, etc. <br /><br />http://www.douxreviews.com/<br /><br />Best regards,<br />BillieBillie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543784411582822907.post-15709291944227960812016-08-01T11:12:39.613-04:002016-08-01T11:12:39.613-04:00Hi there!

I stumbled upon your Alias blog, as I am just watching the series for the first time (well, actually the second - I finished the series on my own last week and have started it again from the beginning, this time with my husband). I found your blog and really enjoy it! This time around, after watching each episode, I read your Episode Review. Your recaps and comments really add to my watching experience! <br /><br />When we started the second season yesterday, I couldn't find your Episode Reviews for it and thought they had stopped. I was so disappointed! I searched again this morning and found them, much to my relief! I then stumbled upon your personal blog. I haven't read much of it, but the first post I clicked on was one titled "Life After Death: I Want to Believe". It felt like I wrote that article myself. In fact, I wrote of very similar feelings when my dad passed away so unexpectedly 12 years ago when I was a college student. To this day I struggle with (A) fear of death/non-existence, and (B) believing in an afterlife (I don't). I WANT to believe, but I have a hard time convincing myself to believe in something that does not make rational sense. This line, in particular, felt as if it were my own: "For me, the worst thing about death is the concept of nonexistence. (Although I keep telling myself that if I no longer exist, I won't know that I don't exist.)" I believe you wrote this post in 2014 - has anything changed for you? Does the thought of the beach house still bring you comfort? Do you fear for your own death?<br /><br />Although you don't know me, I thought you might like to know that I really enjoy your writing :)<br /><br />Isabel<br />Miami, FLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218116676033947663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543784411582822907.post-50952914070517798592016-03-20T23:36:55.670-04:002016-03-20T23:36:55.670-04:00Thanks so much, Chris.

He really does think he's a king.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/us/politics/donald-trump-butler-mar-a-lago.html<br /><br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543784411582822907.post-50603037967504698152016-03-20T22:14:34.392-04:002016-03-20T22:14:34.392-04:00There is a fascinating article in the NYT this wee...There is a fascinating article in the NYT this week about Trump's butler. Everything you need to know is described by the man who works for him. Truly terrifying. As is another piece by two men who fact checked the previous fourteen days of speeches Trump had given. Long story short, not a lot of fact; a lot of nonsense.<br /><br />This personal piece moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.<br /><br />ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
