An Open Letter to my Stalker.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

I really didn’t want this drama.

I really NEVER, in a million years, would have imagined my life would end up the stuff of a Lifetime Movie for Women. But here I am.

Just so you know, I tried to like you.

Until you told me you were in love with my boyfriend.

Until you told me things guaranteed (in your mind) to send me running from him.

Until you texted me at 4:30am, 2:30am and incessantly, every time you were struck with the whim to do so, at any and every hour of the day.

Until you called me names beginning with wh* and b* (and I’m pretty sure I didn’t deserve either).

Until you lied, to him and to me, about him.

I’ve asked you to leave me alone.

I asked you nicely, and then not-so-nicely.

He’s asked you nicely, and then not-so-nicely.

And still, within the past 48 hours, I’ve gotten three more emails from you.

And that was after the hateful name-calling ranting text on Friday and the whole firestorm of histrionic texts on Sunday.

Unprovoked, I might add.

And just so you know, if you contact me again, be it by email, text, IM, or in any other way, shape, or form,

I will happily make public all the emails, texts, and IMs that I’ve so carefully saved in the event that I need them.

Just so you know.

    Is it wrong that I kinda hope psycho stalker girl does email again so you&#39;ll post it all here? I always did like a good Lifetime movie… <br /><br />Sorry it&#39;s crappy for you right now! FWIW, I think you are handling things amazingly. <br /><br />&lt;3

    The funny thing is, since this blog post she&#39;s contacted me again…. and again… and again….. She just THOUGHT she was going it anonymously?! <br /><br />But &#39;anonymous&#39; contact counts as contact, I think….

    Hey STALKER!! The fact that you keep getting on this page and reading and reading it over and over, proves you are a STALKER. Check yourself into BHC before you hurt yourself or someone else. Do not make me get on here and name your name, because I WILL! And I know L-O-T-S of people that YOU know. You do not want me to go there. So, goodbye, Crazy Lady! Go get your own thoughts and ideas

I don’t know who’s big idea it was to strip 80 I don’t know who’s big idea it was to strip 80 years of paint off of this door down to the wood and start over… but that person has no business starting new projects. 😅 My neighbors must have thought this project would never end. *I* thought this project would never end. 😰 If you’re thinking of doing this yourself? Just don’t, ok? Throw the whole door away and buy a new one. 😂🤣 Just kidding.  Old house weirdos like me… we can’t just do things the easy way. Anyhoo… after some trial and error, @sherwinwilliams Celestial is what I landed on, and I have to say… I like it. Periwinkle-ish blue looks great with the yellow house and will look even better when the azaleas are in bloom. Was it all worth it? That’s not important right now. 🤭 Will I do this all again in two years? The magic eight ball says… without a doubt. 👏🏻 I’ve already picked the next color. #gluttonforpunishment #somefoolsneverlearn #oldhouselove #oldhomelove #makinghome #southernliving #gardenandgun #azaleadistrict #tylertx
Spring in the Azalea District makes the winters in Spring in the Azalea District makes the winters in an 80-year-old house completely worth it … what broken pipes, icy hardwood floors and drafty windows? 🤔 I forgot already. #comeonspring #azaleadistrict #tylertx

2022 had its highs and lows for sure, but scrollin 2022 had its highs and lows for sure, but scrolling through my pics from the last twelve months made me realize how blessed and content I am. Prosperity, love, and peace have been ours in abundance, in spite of the pain of losing my dad. The second picture is the last picture of him… the last time I saw him. 💔 But God has been good to my family this year and 2022 is ending far better than it began. 😄 #2022inreview #thanksforthememories
Who wants a Christmas tour of my home? 🙋🏼‍ Who wants a Christmas tour of my home? 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s it. That’s the tour. (Slide two). 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a new trend I’m starting: bare Christmas tree. Lowe’s tag still attached (so quirky and unexpected)! Christmas ornaments still in boxes. Coming soon to an Anthropologie window display near you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every year I think, “next year I’ll do better. Next year I’ll have it together.” And then, here we are on the SIXTH Christmas that we’ve been in this house, the sixth Christmas I’ve dragged our chaotic bunch of Christmas mess out of a chaotic garage I still haven’t unpacked from our move six years ago. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe this year is the year I’ll organize it all and put it back neatly so that by Christmas number 7, it will be smooth sailing. People will flock to my social media to see how I’ve pulled everything off SO PERFECTLY. Next year will be my year. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seems every year there’s less and less bandwidth for all these things. There’s more grief and stress, less money. More demands, less grace. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I put this sign on the wall in my office so I could keep it in front of my eyes: Love. Joy. Peace. And all that. I am SO unlike Jesus most days. So lacking in all of these character qualities. And that’s WITH waking up most mornings and spending my first 30 minutes with God Himself. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How lost would I be without that? Geez. I can’t fathom. I REQUIRE being transformed by renewing my mind every single morning, and even then, responding to people and life with love, joy, peace and patience doesn’t come naturally. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the goal, though. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This weary world needs that from us Believers during this season, more than ever… even more than an Anthropologie-window-display worthy Christmas home tour. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m working on both.
