Nice Post and inspiring Adrienne. I like your style. Paul seems like a good guy too.

You are a wonderful reflection of what a remarkable father he must have been...I'm sure he is beaming from above. You and your husband are my favs. Keep being YOU:)

I'm so sorry to read about your father, it's obvious that you were really affected by what she relayed.

Why did you give the "psychic" so much personal information? The only things she said (that you didn't volunteer) were things she could have easily picked up from watching season 1 or Googling you.

Total Class Act..!

Just can't say enough good things about you.

well said Lady. I like you, and your husband...and I like how you both seem to take time with Kim one on one...I think she needs friends like you guys, people to give her straight advice without being too judgmental, and acting like "know it alls" ...I'm sure your father is proud of how business savvy you are, but also that you are kind.

You're a class act!

Excellent!

Very well said. You are definitely on eof my favorite Housewives. You are level headed, down to earth and loving.

Well said Adrienne. I do admire you & I enjoy watching you on the show.

i love u adrienne and hope oneday i can meet u.....

Bravo Adrienne Bravo!

Well said .

Love your post today...

I always enjoy your comments and the scenes with you on the show are some of my favorites. I have to say it is nice to glimpse into your beautiful home and lifestyle but this window into your heart is the lovliest of all.

Adrianne, You are truly an inspiration for women out there. You are teaching us that is ok to aspire,to be a loving mother, a wife and yet be successful! You are right when you say that one the most important legacies that a parent can leave to a child is confidence! It doesnt matter how many millions you have, if you dont have confidence or a strong family foundation nothing else would matter. Como se dice en espanol.. muchas gracias por sus consejos!

Thank you Adrienne for your wonderful message.. you are truly an inspiration and a role model for us women.

wonderfully said Adrienne! i have two daughters and have always felt that instilling confidence in one's children is key to their success. enjoy watching you on the show...

Amazing words. Thank you.

Adreinne: I completely agree with you - The greatest gift a parent can give a child is confidence in themselves. You were lucky to have such a wonderful father. Love the show and seeing you. You seem very down to earth and "together". You're the peacemaker of the group. Your father did a good job!

Well said.

BEAUTIFUL BLOG ADRIENNE, WELL SAID, YOU ARE ALWAYS THE EPITOME OF GRACE! Love you and your family, Propgirl, NY xoxoxoxoxox

Nuff said...

What a wonderful blog. Thank you for sharing some history on your family. God bless.

words of wisdom! thanks adrienne-you are a wealth of practical knowledge. know that you have a lot of people who admire and respect you.

One of the best things you can do for your sons is to show them how much you love and respect their father.

Adrienne - You are by far a person everyone should admire. I adore you and cannot believe how real you are despite all the wealth you have. I look forward to seeing you on the show and you are the reason I watch it.

Lovely blog Adrienne, how lucky to have such wonderful parents.

My dear Adrienne, you are indeed a lucky woman to have had such an amazing Dad - I wish I could say I had the same. Unfortunately, my Dad wasn't really there for me and my 10 brothers and sisters BUT we have the most amazing Mom who loves us enough for him! I'm so glad you got to hear what your Dad thru the psychic, I feel your happiness thru your blog. I'm sure you know he's watching over you everyday and sending his love!!

Adrienne, I find you a cool lady--and a real lady. I am so concerned though that you are dissatisfied in your marriage and that you will make the mistake of indulging this "feeling" and eventually walk out. I just have such a saddness about this with you. It will be a big mistake. What I see from the outside is that you are not a very warm and loving wife---your husband is much warmer, patient and self sacrificing than you are. You act totally like you just do not need the man! That is a sorry case for any person! You have a good man there--and he appears not to have a wandering eye either. Do you have any idea of how precious that is?! I would suggest you do what Dr. Laura used to ask unhappily married women who called her show to do....and that was to answer these questions: Why should your husband wake up every day and be so grateful that HIS life is tied to YOU? And describe what it must be like to be married to YOU? Read her book on the Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands---the woman is a Goddess of truthful advice! For a solid year after that book came out, woman after woman after woman was calling her in tears to thank her for what they learned and how it changed their hearts, saved their lives from ruin---and their children also. Please, please...you woud be happier if you were more concerned with being a good, loving wife--than all else.

Well said.

Great blog! The last 2 sentences gave me goose bumps!

ADRIENNE.... u r d best !!!!

LOVE this..you are an incredible woman

I know exactly how you feel Adrienne,lost my father in 2008 and mom 2005; it's certainly sentimental when things occur,or messages we recieve from the loved oned who had such a profiund effect on our lives.I used to talk to my parents every day, and it's funny how the simple things in life,are the ones we miss the most. Loved the seance episode, even the one with Alison DuBois,...just didn't anticipate Alison would be harsh with Kyle,....was it, by chance the editing? Aison was sooo overtly hostile wnd din't understand what the hell happened to make her lash out. Certainly understand now, if I were lucky enough to meet Alison DuBois,....don't rile her huh? I also want to thank you for being such a strong woman, especially as a business woman,....not faint of heart are you?,...you were especially womderful in the way you handled your visit to Sacramento and the fans that were there,begging you not to take the team elsewhere. Never did find out what you guys decided,....you were so kind to the fans. Well done,......you make a great hero, and set such a fantastic example for our women of today........thank you Adrienne.

I just love you and your family..Your my favorite! Just one thing, I think you should have a talk with Bernie to stop making Lisa comments. It's uncalled for and disrespectful.

Thank you Adrienne,

You are my favorite of all the housewives ever and not just because you are from my hometown. You are extremely wealthy but just as grounded. Your husband is adorable, kind, funny and I appreciate your bickering, it's real life. I remember waiting on you at restaurants in downtown Albuquerque in the eighties, your entire family was always generous and respectful. I don't know how you remain so calm during all the hectic drama that is the Housewives, but you are a role model for the way any human being should act. Gracias!

Adrienne, you are such an inspiring woman and I commend your ability to stay completely true to yourself.

I agree with you. My Dad passed 6 years ago, I can still hear his voice giving me advice. He always said to trust your gut instinct, and he is right. I love your program. You have a very nice family. Happy Holidays.

Adrienne, you made my eyes water with your words.

You are an inspiration to all women an have always stood to your values from day one. I know this is rare in t.v. world....considering the editing. Though I could be doing 1000 other things while I'm healing from surgery, it's actually inspiring to see a woman stay so true to herself and her values. No matter what comments people say of you and Paul, I believe you two are perfect for each other. You are both loyal to each other and loving parents. You are honest with each other and don't play the t.v. game. Thank you!!!!!

So refreshing to hear someone with money appreciating something that costs nothing. Don't ever forget what you wrote above. I wasn't abused or anything like that but I didn't have parents that instilled confidence in me. I am older than you and have not out-grown childish insecurities that have sadly affected me personally and professionally. Do I envy the money you've grown up with and continued? Sure, but it doesn't compare to how I envy your confidence!!! Make sure you keep that up with your kids!!

Thank you for sharing. You are such an awesome woman.

Your parents did an amazing job raising you. That's evident in everything you say and do with your life whether it be with family or friends....speaking of which you are the MOST loyal friend anyone could ever have. You always seem to give people the benefit of the doubt and see the glass as half full. You're very sweet, intelligent, perceptive,strong, classy and generous person, Adrienne. God Bless you!

Adrienne you are very definition of class. Paul is a VERY lucky man!

Adrienne, your confidence and success is inspiring to more than your own children. You inspire me to be a better person, stay out of the drama and to be the best me that I can. Thank you for sharing your experiences on the show, on twitter and on facebook! You are truly an amazing lady!

Adrienne that gave me goosebumps!!! (totally an Oprah moment) The ability to feel your own sense of accomplishment both personally and proffessional regardless of your background, can only be felt achieved through the confidence of knowing you can achieve greatness if you commit to your dreams. Your father was clearly a wise man and you my dear are great.

Just Love you. You are the peace maker,Last season I though it was Lisa but she was not.Stay true to yourself, the world loves you. Cindy

I really like you Adrienne. You seem like a good person. I admire your hard work.

Lovely blog from a lovely woman. Your father would be (or is) proud.

I also have been thinking of my parents. My mother was a strong woman who left an abusive husband and pedophile. Unlike many women, who felt powerless, and looked the other way, my mother removed my brother and I from the hell and moved to begin a new life with nothing but a train ticket to Ohio (thanks to my uncle). I was lucky I was never abused; my brother not. He never truly recovered.

My mom was lucky to find love with my stepdad, Art, and I and my brother were lucky to then have a real loving father.

My mother died about 6 years agao, my dad Art died 2 years ago. I was blessed to be there when he passed and to tell him THANK YOU.

I miss them both.
