i think that talking enthusiastically about what worked for you and made you feel better is 100% fine. i also think the inverse is valid: talking about what went wrong for you in an efort to encouarge others to avoid it (ie: Dave having a heart attack).

the thing is, nothing we do or say will make up another's mind for them. you and i both know that: *they* have to decide. so you don't bear the ultimate responsibility or credit, either way.

i think being able to share the new wonderfulness of life is part of why we journal openly. i think 7" lost is INCREDIBLE. congrats!!!
