Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Well whatever...... I never insinuated didn't post here because of the direction of this list.....I don't know why doesn't post here any more......you all just assumed I was referrering to -- and I WHEN we talk don't discuss this board....... I don't know why everyone jumped on my back as they did except I had had it with this list..and I said so...I had asked a thought provoking question that now everyone claims not to understand (except the few dozen that couldn't face you and emailed me personallly) and then when I got annoyed with the comment on Elena and expressed my annoyance you all just jumped me like a pack of wolves.....is that a true TaeBo Spirit........ I have not been able to address this list verbally since I got here - - I was good at this in other list places....that tells me something about the folks here...when September 11th happened and I posted about my Husband almost dying no one responded......only Elena......when I posted about my Paxil afterword only a few of you that actually new me happened to be one responded....this list is a click....has been always will be the problem is the original click members are gone and they were the souls of the List.......they are gone for whatever reason.....time...direction.....moved on....but the fact remains they are gone..... I took a stabb at provoking your thoughts to something less visual and as i said last night I did a hideous job.....I will not give up I will continue to try to get it across......for what its worth folks that undestand TaeBo understood what I said...... peace AmyBeth-who is sorry she upset anyone....and promises she won't again......

AmyBeth, I felt a need to clarify why I didn't post because of something you said in one of your messages. Somebody asked the question " I was just wondering how some of you guys were doing like Elena, , a and " . To which you responded " I do know why the others you are speaking of don't post-- I know why I will never lurk here again much less post-- " . When I read that, it felt like you were speaking for me. Or at least insinuating that the reason I didn't post was because I didn't agree with where this list was going. I might have misinterpreted what you were trying to say because of the statement you made right afterwards about yourself and why you won't lurk or post here anymore. But, I just felt a need to clarify that I don't post here as much simply because I didn't have time, not because I don't love this list anymore. I know you, AmyBeth, and I know that your heart is in the right place. I know that you have a passion for Tae Bo that is great and very deep and I love that about you. However, I have to disagree with you on a few levels. It doesn't mean that I disregard your opinion, it just means that I don't agree. For one thing, this list is a list for people who do Tae Bo....people who have been doing Tae Bo for 3 years, people who have been doing Tae Bo for one year, people who have been doing Tae Bo for 1 month, people who have been doing Tae Bo for 1 week, people who simply have an INTEREST in Tae Bo, and even for people who started off doing Tae Bo but have moved on and only do Tae Bo occasionally, but still enjoy the friends they have made and the conversation that goes on here. We are ALL TaeBoers. Every single one of us. And it is not right to say that anyone here is not a TaeBoer. Again, we all have different reasons for doing Tae Bo, we all have different reasons for exercising and ALL of those reasons are valid and all of those reasons have a right to be expressed. If you wish to share a differing opinion or want people to look at Tae Bo from a different perspective....share your story. Ask the questions and if people don't respond....ask again in a different way. Answer your own question and show what you are trying to get at. But, don't tell people that they are wrong or that this list is not about Tae Bo because people aren't responding to something you asked the way that you hoped they would. I also wanted to clarify one other comment that you made. You said " I use many different forms of exercise to train my body, but I only use Tae Bo to train my Spirit " . Again, I'm going to say that I think you are confusing the Spirit and the Will. has told us many, many times that you don't work your Spirit with Tae Bo. He has asked the question every single time I've heard him talk lately..... " What do you work when you come into this room to do Tae Bo? " and inevitably people always shout out " Your Spirit " and he ALWAYS tells them " NO, you don't work your Spirit when you walk into this room....you work your WILL " . Your Spirit has nothing to do with this workout. You work your Spirit by going to what it is you believe in, whether that's God, or whatever. But, you don't work your Spirit doing a physical workout. You work your will. Again, I hope that nobody ends up leaving the list. This list is a wonderful group of people from all walks of life, with all different beliefs and all different reasons for doing Tae Bo. That's what makes it so awesome! And, AmyBeth...you know I love you girl! We've been through a lot together and just because I have a different opinion than you...doesn't mean that I love you any less! Just wanted to make sure you understood that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 >Well said as usual When you quoted what I said you said what I said was " I don't know why others don't post but I know why I don't post --' How did that develop into doesn't post here because she doesn't love the list....I dunno.... I got it all wrong and I am sorry....you are absolutely right you work your Will in TaeBo not your Spirit and I ALWAYS get that confused.....some times my spirit and my will can sore but my body won't I think that is why ;( I don't know what else to say but that I was wrong. .... I said it yesterday and I say it again ...i tried but I failed and I was wrong....I got personal with for different reasons and again I was WRONG to do that!!!! I am human and I love way too much have been told that more then I can care to count I love to a degree of getting myself into trouble with my mouth.....remember the phrase they called me way back " Mouth of the South' I don't ever want to think just like anyone else...I am a differnet seeker....I love other opinions and I certainly didn;t mean to come across that way ;( I am sooo sad about that still.....I am not sad about one thing though and that is the knowledge that I take away from this.....the knowledge I will take away from this Board this group is way larger then just this fiasco!!!!! I again apologize to you and anyone else I offended or made feel stupid or not a TaeBoer......now do what Janick said and get on with it I am leaving now and I will refrain from Posting here again...I think I did way to much damage and again am sorry for that... peace AmyBeth-who tries to be fair and open minded but sometimes gets passionate to a blind degree....

Although the discussion was pretty heated, I've seen a lot worse. I think everyone is making it up much worse than it really is. We are all friends here... so here's a great big group hug! Amybeth, I understand about passion, being an Aries, passion is what defines my personality (although my passions sometimes reach the level of obsessions... but that's beyond the point). I understand if you want to refrain from posting again (I know what it's like being flamed at by a few people... you being one of them... but that's all in the past), but I think that the group benefits from passionate discussions on diverse subjects. I really love to hear how taebo has affected other people's lives BTW, because it has transformed mine (even if I am part of the category described as " doing occasionally " ). Janick who finally caved in and ordered that DANG fanny lifter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that sincerely. I never knew you and I had any problems I thought you and I were fellow Tar Heels lovers I want you to know that I have always liked you! I can't even count how many times I have talked about how your arms give me hope I have always been inspired by you!! I am so sorry if I somewhere along the way gave you the impression that I didn't like you. Believe it or not, I am really shy with people I don't know well and that gets misinterpreted sometimes. That is something I need to work on. Anyway, I really would like you to stay and apologize from the bottom of my heart for whatever I did that made you think I didn't like you. I always have! And I always will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Janick...wondered when you were going to nail me on that one ...hah.....I deserved it .....peace for waiting until the end...... I only flamed you once....in refernce to my President hah.....and I took your call.....don't bring that to the List anymore and you were right then as now everyone has an opinion...... being American I have been taught mine is the best in regards to Freedom hah.......but again that is debatable all things are debatable -- This hippichick has over steeped her ground here !! she caused too much damage to repair and be forgiven and she understands that --being a Pisces.....I am too personal......I take things personal and give them personal too to a fault....... Again, I take many many wonderful memories from this List many of you helped me through a very low point in my Journey.....many of you only know me in person......many of you don't know me at all....or you wouldn't have watched me get into this mess.......because the AmyBeth that yah'll saw on Thursday is not the AmyBeth that I am......I am not an attacker and I don't take attack very well.....I handle criticism well but that is not what I provoked on myself......I brought it all on myself and I am claiming all responsiblity....this List was just minding its own business when I blew into town.......and for that I HATE what I did and I don't usually hate at all......but I do I hate what I did and I hate who I hurt in the process.....I have said before my Journey isn't over...I am glad for that!!!!! I have many things to learn and I hope the few friends I have left will help on that Journey....... peace AmyBeth-who has always Believed that one should TaeBo the way one Can.......that was what brought her to TaeBo......anyone CAN do it.....
