The other day I received, what I’ll politely call, a “nasty-gram.” It was an email to this blog, that you are reading right now, Marianne’s Consignment Confessions. And it kind of blew me away. It was filled with vitriol towards me and towards the blog. This person, who had signed up to receive these emails, found my “opinion” of the health benefits of drinking more water to be offensive and accused me of “email abuse.” I’ll be honest, I was pretty hurt by her comments. So I’m writing to you today, all my dear readers, to clear the air, if you will…
So Much Love For Marianne’s Consignment Confessions
Despite the nasty email the other day, I still maintain that I have the most amazing readers out there. Marianne’s Consignment Confessions would not exist without you! And I am forever grateful for every last one of you. Your positive comments, both online and in person, at Consignments Ltd., buoy my spirits and keep my writing, twice a week, every week. And through this blog you have given me a gift and allowed me to return to the field of professional writing that I worked in for years and have been passionate about for a lifetime. Thank you.
There’s A Way Out If You’re Not Happy with The Blog
So here’s where I “come clean,” if you will. I understand that the design ideas, recipes, health tips and self-improvement topics that I write on are not for everyone. That’s where the “unsubscribe” option comes in. If you don’t want to receive this blog, there’s a button at the bottom of each issue where you can delete yourself (permanently) from receiving them. I hope that you won’t, but the option is always there for you. There’s also an option to send me a note. You can tell me what you like (or don’t) and you can suggest topics that you’d like to see me cover. It’s easy. And I respond to everyone. The one thing I’m asking you, dear reader, is to use kindness in how you communicate with me. And, as my mother would often say, “if you can’t say any thing nice…” maybe just unsubscribe.
I value the rapport that we have built with each other, dear reader. And I appreciate the time that you take to read my words. I hope it will continue.
