overdue thank you



It has been over a year now that I have been back in the states.....I am writing this post today to all the wonderful friends I have found through blogging. I started in 2007,  I think.....(help me remember suz:)
Stuff happened in my life and last march my blog that I had started back in 2007 was deleted, and sadly not by me. I almost didn't start up another blog......I lost my footing big time. But an incredible thing happened, my friend sperlygirl and other bloggers I had never met in real life sent me a package a couple months after I arrived in the states....it was filled with small gifts and notes of encouragement I can't explain how much strength this gave me. Yesterday I had a comment from my blog-girlfriend dina and it really touched me....and made me stop and think you need to write a thank you to all these wonderful people to let them know this.... "that you are so lucky to have found such a wonderful group they have always made your heart smile with their comments and their beautiful blogs where they share." 

Since I started blogging again this last fall I felt too exposed to take my self portraits and put them on my blog....something that I used to do and something that I love and admire about other bloggers, it feels so fearless!!.......I am gaining back my footing, wearing my little brown boots and using them to kick fear's big butt........ I am not worried about this anymore, not afraid to share who I am.....

I am heading up to Portland tomorrow to meet up with these cool blogger friends.....life is good.........

I'm so glad you decided to start another blog...your words and your art inspire me every time I stop by, and your strength gives me a little of my own to push on toward authenticity in all I share. Thanks, Katie :) And your portraits are gorgeous, by the way.
