We're all human and feel this way at times & as much as I try to keep things positive on my blog sometimes its just good to get these feelings out--more often than not, there are people who will be able to relate to what you're going through. However, there are some things I don't feel comfortable sharing online so I find in these cases journalling privately is really helpful. PS. I'd love to read a follow up post about the Good Karma Gift Swap, even if it is after the fact.

Yes, do come up out of the sand. After all keeping your head in the sand can leave you lightheaded and disoriented. I understand you feel responsible having initiated the gift exchanged, but if others didn't fulfill their obligation the fault rest with them and not you. Furthermore, those who are following you know that you have the utmost integrity and I am sure don't hold you responsible. I have confidence that you'll know what to do next. And finally, don't worry about the next 25 years, just be yourself and you'll have the best next 25 years possible. : ) Awwww, confessions are good for the soul. Yes, do come up out of the sand.

I was excited about the gift swap for others, because I started following your blog after it was already set to run. I missed out. Sometimes we take on more than we are truly capable of doing at one moment in our life. We have the best intentions, but we can't do everything we want to all the time and if we could that would also get boring. Thanks for your honesty I am sure those that missed out on a gift appreciate it. It is never to late to retify something, ever. Read my post about Satya - Truth it goes right down the line speaking your truth. It is what is it. I totally understand what you mean.

From one perfectionist to another, try to give yourself a break and stop being so hard yourself. You're honesty and compassion are why your readers relate to you and even if you don't post every day or even every week, it's why we keep coming back here. As for the swap, I think you can definitely still post about it! Oh, honey bee, I know things seem overwhelming and hard right now, but I just want you to know you are doing awesome.

I think you should do what YOU feel like doing, let it pass for now or write a post about it and feel good you did any of the two! :-) I know how that feels, letting time slip and not doing what you think you should do and those shoulds does not move out of your head.

As someone who participated in the swap but never received a package in return, I hope you know that we know it has nothing to do with things within your control! I still am glad you organized it and I'd love to see a review post. I really loved the honesty of this post!

I'd like to hear about the swap, but perhaps it may be better to just let things go and move on. I am sad that I didn't have the time to participate in the last one but I'd love to participate again if you have another one in the future. :) There’s something about honesty in blogs that is so refreshing and makes the author seem more approachable and human… and that’s one reason why I love reading your blog.
