Seven years ago today I began posting on my blog, a sun kissed life. It
was a difficult time, I had lost both my parents and I felt wounded,
tired, and vulnerable. A desire was sparked to write again and to stand
with an open heart and share it. The desire was mixed with fear of
leaving myself naked to be seen, my pain expressed for strangers to see,
but I took a leap. At first the posts remained empty of comments, and
it was okay, because after all I was writing to find happiness
within. As time went by, my blog blossomed, other bloggers that I
respected came by to read, which made me happy and grateful. I was
welcomed to a wonderful community of bloggers, poets, authors, and
journalists. We bleed on our pages and we share our souls. My blog
brought me back to the writing I had left behind. It has made me examine
ordinary and extraordinary moments of my life. To all my friends I want
to say thank you for embracing me with love and acceptance. I am
blessed to have you all in my life!
Such a heartwarming post and a walk down memory lane. Congratulations to you on those achievements, and best wishes ahead!
