Pour Your Heart Out With Me
About once a week, I tend to really pour my heart out to you about something that is important to me or that I feel really strongly about.
I've written about marriage, religion, anger, the struggles I've had with my middle son, body image, and sex, just to name a few. And I love your support on those posts. I love how many of you end up saying "Me, too!" I love having a place to pour my heart out. So, I'm actually going to start my own blog carnival in case any of you want to pour your hearts out, too. 
Here are the Rules:
Pour Your Heart Out
Wednesdays
Write a post from the heart.
Something that has been weighing on you.
Something you feel passionately about.
Something you've been wanting to talk about.
A cause, a memory, a belief, a world view.
Anything.
I don't want to assign you a topic because I really want this to be from your heart.
Though, if you are stumped, read some of the posts that are linked, and get ideas from there!
Grab my new button for your post and link up!
I hate that I even have to say this, but, whether you are participating or just reading, please keep in mind that the people linking really are sharing something from the heart. So, please, BE RESPECTFUL. We might not agree with each other, but we can all accept someone's right to have a different opinion than we do and NOT attack someone because of this. Play nice. :)

;o)
Great idea :)
Love love LOVE it!
Great idea!
I like this idea!
Guess my post today could be considered pouring my heart out...
What a great idea! I will try to join in!
This is such a good idea! I notice I get like that about once a week too... must be a female hormonal response LOL
good idea, there are so many things to be passionate about.
Cool idea!
Great idea and I love the button!
That's a great idea!
Fabulous idea!!
Cute idea!! I am sure that people will jump on board! I wish it was on a different day then Wed. since I have WTH? Wednesday every week and then I could take part!
Great idea! I have a months worth of posts in my head already!
Ohhh another carnival I have to play in.. and a new button to add to my side bar of carnivals to peruse...
That is a great idea! I will add it to my list of meme's!
I didn't know you were a Macaroni Kid PM, too!
That's an awesome idea! I love it
I love this idea Shell! Looking forward to it.
totally love this idea...i am linking up on wednesday!
I love this Shell. There are a couple things I would like to talk about but didn't know how to throw it out there. This might be that opportunity. I have something this Wednesday but the following Wednesday I am in. :)

Great idea! Found my way to you from "A Daily Scoop of Chaos". Looking forward to getting to know you! "Motherbitches" seriously made me laugh out loud! xoxox
What a great idea! I love this, am looking forward to seeing the posts :) Hope you're having a great weekend!
You are so smart! I'm sure I can come up with a good post or 14.
What a great idea Shell! I'm a little bummed that I might not participate this week though, because I have a St. Patrick's Day post all planned for Wednesday! Oh well, count on me next week!
Good idea... cause sometimes you just need to get it all out.
Sounds cool- will be back on Weds!
YAY!! Can't wait!! :)
Great idea, and like you said- whether you agree or not, know that it is an issue close to others hearts, and that we can all learn from eachother and other's points of view.
What a fanastic idea! I'll have to think of something worthy of a heart pouring before then!

I love this option for Wednesdays!!
May I wear the mask while I am confessing? It makes me feel more secure?!lol
I love the idea---it is so good to hear others say: "been there done that"!
Thanks for stopping by my blog:) This is a cute idea... when I get back from vacation I will have to remember to join in. Of course I need to remember that a few people who know me are reading. At times I wish I could be truly anonymous
Sounds like a good idea!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your blog! I just followed it! Can't wait to read it in the future!
Love this idea Shell!
Great to share passions! Can't promise that Wed. will be my passionate day, but definitely looking forward to what others have to say.
Thanks for your comment, Shell.
That's a wonderful idea! I don't know that I'll link up but I'll definitely read some. That's what happens when your mom and in-laws read your blog, you can't always pour your heart out like you want:( Thinking about making myself a secret venting blog that no member of my family knows about.
I love your disclaimer at the bottom to remind people to be respectful. Well, I love it and I hate it. It's ridiculous that you have to remind people to be respectful of feelings.
I will enjoy reading these posts. I enjoy your posts most when you are sharing your heart!
I'm glad you fixed the button, I was coming back to tell you about it and there it was! I have it up on my list of meme's.
And if you want to join another, I have a new one for mommy moment Monday's.
OOh I can't wait!
I really enjoy heartfelt posts, and I agree with Brandee/Think Tank Momma....sad that we have to remind people, but I do hope everyone will be respectful of one another.
I will have to start thinking about this one...and maybe see some of other people's stuff to help inspire me....
Yes....sounds good!
Great idea.
I love the button for your carnival. It sounds like a great idea. And it looks like you'll have lots of support.
I'M LOVING IT!!!!!
What a great idea Shell!!! I'm definitely going to do this tomorrow!!! Can't wait.
What a great idea!! PERFECT for me to participate in today.
I absolutely love this! I've been reading at this on Tessica's Blog (http://momyawp.blogspot.com) and I did my first post today. Thank you!
I posted my first one today! Check it out! (http://imarockabillymama.blogspot.com)
Been wanting to participate in this and now I finally am
http://lawlover1.blogspot.com/2010/06/pour-your-heart-out.html
I did it! i posted one! I'm not feeling all warm and fuzzy about it though! I'm not one to post from my heart or anything "personal" on my blog or Facebook (except my personal one), or twitter. Just not something i like doing. but people keep insisting i should do it more. So i guess this is a way i can! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this, I guess I needed to see that, because whenever I let myself shut and too silent for too long I have an urge for words and passionate thoughts!
But I've already blogged today so next wednesday for sure ;)
This is SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

Love it. I hope to join in next week :)

Awesome! I'm joining! I'm a pour-your-heart-out kinda girl.
What a lovely idea. Like a virtual support group. I'd like to know if it is acceptable to link to a post I wrote some time back on one of my blogs.
Fantastic - a chance to cut through the fluff! I love honest discourse - looking forward.
