But I also know how strong and sensible you are. <br /><br />I joined Wikio early on, and for a while my blog was #9 in the list of Jewelry Blog Category - I was amazed. And then I hung on in #20 for a while. But I always knew as other blogs joined, I might slip down, and it's just part of the way of the world. I am truly thrilled that Art Bead Scene still reins as #1, and that you are there consistently as #2. <br /><br />Stay blessed, don't change. My old grannie always said not to compare yourself with others, as there will always be someone richer and someone poorer, someone taller and someone shorter. All we can do, myself included, is to be TRUE to OURSELVES and embrace the gifts we are given. They are truly ours, and only we control what we can do with them .... LOL.

I know Lorelei personally and I can tell you that the negative accusations against her are completely made up and false. I think the anonymous commenter knows that what they say is wrong and slanderous, otherwise they would be able to stand behind what they say. Lorelei is a personal friend of mine. She has a pure and generous heart. She is the most honest, open and real person I have ever met in my entire life. Nothing is hidden. If you read her blog regularly, you know absolutely everything about her. She shares her life completely and honestly.Erin Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363556155704677633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-80840665629040122522010-12-06T18:47:23.514-05:002010-12-06T18:47:23.514-05:00This is why people shouldn't smoke crack befor...This is why people shouldn't smoke crack before leaving anonymous blog comments.

Just having "had enough" of someone else isn't a decent reason. You have to physically and intentionally seek out information about a person to read these things.. If you have "had enough" then just don't follow.<br /> <br />Personally, I am a little controversial in my thoughts, posts online (and at home) and sometimes I am not all "rosie" and "everything is beautiful and stunning" in my opinion., however, as a bead maker with a fairly decent sized business I ALWAYS use my own identity and address these things as myself, so that I am held responsible for my actions, regardless. If this is how I feel, well then, all of my customers should know WHO they are buying from...because a piece of me goes into everything I make. <br /><br />The sale to go to Raleigh? I believe Lorelei may have thought that was a "fun" way to incorporate life & business.. cause people who are committed Bloggers invite you into their world and into their life. Everyone is different.. And it seems as though Lorelei's followers are people that enjoy being part of her world and the family she has created here with them on the internet. If they didn't they would have the option to STOP FOLLOWING HER. Whether you think its professional or not, it is what appeals to her and the people who dig her...and on HER blog why should she use your opinion as the compass to guide her in expressing herself?<br /><br />The burning bridges thing sounds very personal to me., you must have been hurt in some way..and if that is the case..then why don't you just email her and talk it out..<br /><br />Lorelei... You should be comforted with all the love shown to you by your supporters..without them where would any of us be? It is always nice to have a reminder of that, so thank anonymous for this unexpected display of adoration and affection :) It appears as though your success made someone upset.. but There is nothing you can do about that..just concentrate on the people who think you rock.<br /><br />For the people who have called anonymous every name in the book.. we have no idea who this person is. This could be a teenager, who read some previous posts and wanted to see how much trouble they could get into.. They could be an adult who has been trying to sell jewelry that cannot and is very frustrated. We just don't know. Just concentrate on the positive and if they ever make themselves known as a person with a real identity then issues can start being addressed.Lisa Peters Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981061259106021523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-51833373206799199012010-12-06T09:02:23.398-05:002010-12-06T09:02:23.398-05:00Nancy: For your information, I wrote that last ano...Nancy: For your information, I wrote that last anonymous comments.

Just don't read Lorelei's blog if it bothers you that much - no one is making you!! I make jewellery and have a blog and am NO WHERE NEAR as successful and frequently read as Lorelei and this is absolutely fine. I get the impression that you (Lorelei) work extremely hard at your business, therefore you deserve your success 110%. As for your Raleigh sale - well, it wasn't like the post said "send me money please, I want a holiday!" it said I am having a sale, if you want to take advantage of it please do. Nothing unprofessional there. There are some really crazy folk out there. Just don't read things that bother you so much - a very simple solution!

Thanks to some pretty smart, internet savvy folks, Lorelei (and several others) know exactly who you are. Your best option at this point would be to write to her directly, apologize for your disgusting and embarrassing behavior and hope to God that those of us who know who you are keep our mouths shut. After your pathetic display of jealously and venomous attacks on L and others who have commented it would be a good idea for you to lay real low, take your meds and do your best to rebuild your own self esteem - something that is apparently in dire need of repair.Round Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15798423026522048581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-32281721031348767132010-12-05T19:18:04.050-05:002010-12-05T19:18:04.050-05:00Maybe you all should look up karma as well.

That is our right. I think you have ignored the point that you are not acting professionally or with any kindness and it is upsetting people, and it is your right to ignore that, doesn't mean that people don't have the right to share these opinions with you.<br />Can you give an example of what Lori is shoving in your face? She always lets people know exactly where she has purchased items so anyone can go get the same thing if they choose to do so. Also the companies that she promotes by showing their products get free advertisement. It seems like a win win. Yesterdays blog was her sharing her excitement at being #2 for beading blogs. She does have a right to be excited and share this with friends. She also listed the whole list which promoted every other blog on there. She went a step further and stated that people should check these out. That seems very fair to me.<br />This is a beading blog for Lori's business. She loves what she does and is rightfully very excited by her success. She is also a very kind person. Her mother, father, sister etc read this blog and I'm sure you can imagine that it is hurtful to them as well to see the way you and others are attacking her. Wouldn't you want someone to send you a private message to criticize you instead of doing a hit and run such as you have done? Lori deserves the right to defend herself or, shocking, maybe tell you she's sorry if she has hurt your feelings. <br />Please imagine here that you have a daughter. She does something to someone else that is hurtful. Instead of the other person taking her aside and discussing this they instead decide to go to the internet and post hurtful things for everyone to read. Wouldn't you be a little fired up? It's only a human way to be. <br />I'm not commenting on this any further and I hope in the future Lori decides to block anonymous comments because not only does it hurt her, but also people that care about her a great deal. I know you were hurt yourself but please do the right thing and send Lori a message instead of doing this.Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290191845986814065noreply@blogger.com
