Sarah 55/365
It isn't that you started your own Photo Blog, Envisage isn't the first of it's kind and it won't be the last.
It's the fact that you lied about it, it's the fact that you went against what in your words is one of the marks of a "true" friend.
You showed your true colors, you showed what is in your heart and at the base of it all....
you are a liar.

I don't have anything helpful to say but my curiosity hopes someone fills in the rest of this story....
Hope you're okay out there, Sarah... Bex
I've no idea what this is all about. I just hope that things aren't as scary as they seem from this image. Hang in there, Sarah. I hope you are ok.
Yeah, damn I missed something. Sorry that a friend screwed you, Sarah
What's going on?
It's a fact of life: friends sometimes disappoint us. I hope it gets worked out. xo
This project has lost all credibility with the posting of this picture.
Oh Anonymous I don't think so. In fact, had I chosen not to post this picture for my personal set I would have lost any credibility with myself.
This isn't about fluffy clouds and pretty flowers and acting like my life is perfect. Unfortunately as the founder of this particular 365 blog sometimes shit happens in my life that has to do with this project and I have to make the decision to use my picture of the day to portray that or not. Had I chosen not to I would have been covering my feelings and the course of my day. I won't do that, this is my set I choose what goes in it on a daily basis.
I don't have a set here to please other people or to get compliments on my life, I have a set here to record what my life consists of during this year, good or bad, comfortable or uncomfortable. If you don't like what you see, move on. If you don't like honesty, move on. If you don't like what I have to say, move on. I am not going to stop saying it because you and others don't like it.
I can back up my words in my post,I don't say things I can't stand by.
You will of course understand that your silly little comment has no credibility at all for the simple fact that you won't own your words.
Hey, you know what's ballsy? Leaving anonymous comments.
There is absolutely no single photo that could be posted that would cause Envisage (or any other photo project) to lose it’s “credibility”.
I have a lot to say… I just don’t feel like wasting my time responding to something like that.
And, Sarah, I love this color orange. ;)
I'm thinking if something needs to be said anonymously, it shouldn't be said.
I've been thinking about this since I saw it posted last night. I don't have any idea what happened, but I do know that I've come to realize that being lied to is at the top of my DO NOT WANT list. Tell me any kind of truth and I'll deal, but lie to me and all hope is lost.
So I'm sorry Sarah that this has happened to you.
Devil's advocate here, because my husband has taught me well, to try to put myself in the shoes of the human on 'the other side' of my anger. (And, just so that Sarah knows - I haven't 'spoken' to anyone about this beyond the email you sent me & the reply I sent to you, so I'm not passing on a message or 'taking sides' at all)
A lie is usually born of fear.
I think we all know what fear feels like. We all have fears of our own.
That doesn't mean that you can't feel angry, though, for being lied to or treated badly by a friend. That hurts, no matter why your friend did what they did.
((hug))
I don't get how this project could lose credibility with the posting of this picture? If this picture represents the truth of Sarah's day, then that is credible. Isn't it more credible to show pictures that represent life, even the bad, rather than to post fake happiness if that doesn't actually represent her day? I guess I am sort of re-stating what's already been said, it's just that the anonymous comment didn't make sense to me.
Anyhoo, I don't know what prompted this all, but I hope you feel better Sarah. We're still behind you!
Yikes. Another person that has no idea what this is about but hope both parties are able to work it out. Hugs to all.
It doesn't matter what happened. It just matters that Sarah got to express herself.
I don't know what this is about either but I will just chime in to say that I enjoy every single photo that has been posted on this blog. All of them. It's life. I big mix of it. Love it.
Keep up the good work, Sarah. Hope today is a better day.
I'm with Goddess of Madness - I don't know (nor do I need to know) what happened, but I will say that even though we put our pictures of our days out to share with others, it is still OUR day. And some days are laundry, and coffee and shoes - and some days are hurt and anger and the need to express those feelings.
But each of our days belongs to each one of us individually.
Reenie, I so respected you before. Now I am in tears.
My mother always said... "It takes two to fight"
We are all broken in one way or another, aren't we? Isn't that kind of the point here? I don't think that Sarah has to be any wholer than any of the rest of us. Including those who chose to leave.
I have removed Reenies comment from my post because as I said in the beginning, any comment the owner of a set wishes to delete will be deleted no questions asked. Since it's my set I don't have to ask any questions do I?
For the record my post has to do with Carol lying through her teeth about WHY she left, not because she left, although I can see how Reenie and Carol and whoever else would come to those conclusions.
The rest of Reenies comment was mere insult and unworthy of comment from me.
Did I censor Reenie? I did, she is no longer a contributing member of Envisage and as such I owe her no promise of being uncensored. If she would like to come back and act like an adult with her comments she may do so.
Sarah I stand behind you on this! A true friend would admit the real reasons for doing things, Not making up bullshit excuses.
Wow guys! I'm staying out of this, as I normally do...
And continuing to post as I enjoy the freedom of expression, and love seeing the other ladies' stories and captions of whatever it was that they felt the need to upload each day, for whatever reason.
Light and love to everyone -
Bex
I am sorry to hear about this. I love this sight, and will continue to lurk : )
You are all brave and strong women, keep it up!
