This looks like a *criticism* of the criticism!
Mayeul: What a great critique!
I'm not really a "writer" but was addressing the differences between critique and criticism and Googled it.
You popped up, I added it to my message as an illustration and explanation and passed it along to some people.
Next day I received thanks from the writer you quoted - Judy Reeves. We know each other and I had not even noticed your source. Yikes.
She thanks you too.
Everyone must keep this in their heart. Beautifully said. Thank you Tina for sharing it.
I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who
you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together. See the link below for more info.
