Martha Stewart - In The News

I'm a big Martha Stewart fan … and have been for the past 15 years now. I'm obviously not happy about all that's happened and really bummed now that she's been pulled off TV. So, I felt I should document my feelings and also have a place to put the newspaper clippings and articles. So, here's what I came up with and I thought I'd share it with all of you. Here's my journaling:Sure, I knew it would have to end some day. That’s why I taped all the shows, subscribed to the magazines, bought all of the books, went to the seminars…all in an effort to learn as much as I could from Martha, someone I felt found joy in the little things of life and taught me to do the same. Someone who knew what LIVING was all about. I wanted to grab hold of that piece of Martha that she so generously shared with the world, whether they were ready for her or not. And, in the end, they were not.Was justice served? My answer is emphatically NO! The “justice” system has taken away a gem who enriched so many lives with her knowledge and love of life. I really never thought it would come to this. I was sure she would be found “not guilty” and life would go on as it always had for her. Those who followed her would continue to benefit from what she had to share and this would all be a bad memory.But that hope was shattered today, March 5, 2OO4, when the jury found Martha guilty on all four charges. After the verdicts were announced it was on all the news broadcasts for the rest of the day. Martha Stewart was now a “convicted felon”. How can she possibly be labeled something we associate with a bad person, someone who hurts others? The final blow for me came four days later when I realized the Martha Stewart show I thought I was taping on Monday, had been canceled because of the verdict. To me this is the end of an era which I never could have predicted would happen this way. Martha’s exit will definitely leave a void in my life. And to that I say “this is NOT a GOOD THING!”All I can do now is hold out hope that some day Martha will return. In the meantime, I will not stop learning from her. Thank you Martha for giving me fifteen years of LIVING.
