WORDS ARE POWERFUL!The sting from your words can hurt far longer than any physical cut or wound.
I won't go into any detail, but I received an email this morning from someone that I considered a friend that hurt me very much. They took it upon themselves to judge me. This is someone who only knows me through my blog, but it became very clear that they in fact do not know me. They do not know my heart.
Their words CUT me and my heart bled.
Tonight I am praying for my hurt and anger to leave. I will also pray for this person too.
Hugs from the beach,
Kat

Who would do that....Makes me sick...but I get the words...I have gotten a couple of emails too...
I am so sorry that happened, Kat! Sending you a hug and saying a prayer for you.<3
Why would anyone do that? I'm so sorry. I'm praying you have a great day today and that your heart heals quickly. Love you!
I am so sorry that some people are just mean! That is terrible.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I don't know why people have to be so mean and rude.
Kat..I am so sorry your heart had to endure that. I know I don't comment often, but I sure visit you regularly. You and your blog are a breath of fresh air. I don't think that person knows you at all. Like I tell my boys..."Shake it Off" :)
and P.S. I've learned never to let anybody's words or actions affect my mood...I know it's easier said than done, and it took me some practice...but I feel awhole lot better when I remember that.
You have a great day

If they can't see the kind of person you are through your blog, or rather they did not, to be hurtful is wrong no matter how you slice it. You are bigger than that, and they have to live with the bad taste in their mouth. Blessings, Debbie
You are so sweet and kind - always postive and inspiring.
I think you are handling it with grace and elegance, this person needs some prayers that they find the peace which is lacking from their life. Wishing you a great day! xo HHL
My word! Why would someone do that? Words do hurt and that is why I always try to choose my words carefully!
I disagree with "High-heeled life". Handling it with "grace and elegance" does not include blogging about it!

You have a right to your opinion.
My opinion is that if I shared the name or the details of what this person said, THAT would be wrong. BUT...if sharing how words can hurt others helps even one person from hurting another, then it's worth blogging about it. The old saying "hurt people hurt people" is so very true.
I don't ever want to hurt anyone...by my actions or my words.
You are, in my opinion, handling your hurt in a Christ-like manner. I understand your desire to let others know how words can hurt. You are not being vindictive, only forgiving. Please continue letting the love of Christ flow & show through you!
So sorry you've had this experience. ((((Kat))))
I'm so sorry this happened to you, Sweetpea.
It's a weird thing, to be going along with an idea of how things are, and of your place in things, because you give other people THEIR acknowledged place, and assume yours is given with the same heartfelt feelings. And then one day you find out that that's not how things are, at all.
I wish you heart-peace from this; your prayer to be a blessing blesses me every time I drop in.

I know it hurts...Remember...Hurting people...hurt people! I join you in praying for this hurting person. Must be terrible to have a heart so cold and mean....Prayers for you. You know who you are...That is what we are called to know...God Bless and just make it the best weekend ever!!!
So right you are Kat! Words DO hurt and once spoken or written they can not be retrieved! Many times in my nearly 53 years I have said unkind things and I always appreciate this type of reminder! Blog worthy ~ YES!!!
Praying for peace to over shadow the hurt!!
I'm so sorry, Kat. *hugs*
Kat.
to know you is to love you..
knowing the kind, gentle, elegant and passionate person you are..
I cannot imagine ever saying anything vindictive/hurting to you..
and for someone to do so stinks..
you are handling the situation perfectly..
hugs and love..

You are beautiful both inside and out, Kat! Sorry that another's words hurt your heart. I always look forward to your bright inspiring words that warm my heart. Thank you for being you!
Hugs and blessings,
Heidi
I understand that you are only "educating" that person that WORDS DO HURT. They must be a HURT person, like others said. We can pray for them that they find love and peace again in their heart. YOU (Kat) are a blessing to ME every day. God bless you and the other person, too.

I am so sorry this happened Kat!! Yes people who are hurting tend to be more prone to hurting other people. Or people who are miserable tend to pass misery onto other people. Sometimes it is good to hear them, acknowledge that you heard them, and then just let it go. Because they can stop talking. :) Bless that person's little heart. I do like that southern phrase!!! Never argue with a person like that or they wont shut up. They are the people who insist on having the final words. Reminds me of my friend's wife. LOL I love you Kat!! Please don't let this person affect you. Lord grant Kat peace and give her Your Grace to let this go like water off of a duck's back. :) Hugs my friend!!
So sorry this happened! Yes, words can hurt so badly! Just know you are loved by many! Hugs!
I am so sorry that that happened. I love your sweet blog always postive....hugs Pat H
So sorry you were hurt. I got my feelings hurt on an online message board the other day. LOL I asked my hubby how the internet can do that! I agree that hurt people hurt people. I don't understand it and shake my head a lot about things like this. Bless you and hope your heart is feeling happy today!
Sorry Kat, You are correct, *Hurt people hurt people* and yet, it is STILL VERY DIFFICULT to let it go and get past those words. So very sorry.
Don't allow others to dim your shine. Tell them to put on some sunglasses, 'cuz you were born this way baby!

You are the last person that deserves that kind of attack. You are just the sweetest person. Hate the sin but love the sinner. Behavior like this usually stems from jealousy. Hugs, Genah
I am so sorry, Kat. Some people are just never happy with life and don't want others to be either, I suppose. I was always brought up being told, "if you don't have anything good to say about someone, don't say anything at all"!!!! I know that was very hurtful, but I pray that your heart will be healed. Yes, I think you were right to blog about it and hopefully someone else will think twice before they speak. Love & blessings from NC!
Oh, my I can't even imagine anyone saying mean things to you! That is an awful thing to do! Like others have said, anyone reading your words knows you are a kind and loving person!
Just keep being your sweet self.
Kat, this sadens me too. I can not amagine that anyone would say any words that could cut you like a knife. You are one of the sweetest people I've met on bloging. I look forward everyday to your blog! You are a very good person that I just get sick thinking that someone has hurt you! I'm amazed that anyone could do this. Who every did this can not feel good about this; this is awful. God sent you my way he too will comfort you and see that this person will not get away with something like this. I'm very upset by this and it had to be you of all people at the end of someone's un-happiness. I'm sorry Kat for this person. We love you!
