one year, today

I am really a normal girl with insecurities, hairy arms and occasional bouts with hemorrhoids. never in my life did I imagine that I would one day work my dream job. and I owe it all to you. thank all of you who have been visiting this blog for the past 12 months. thank you for your camaraderie, your unconditional support when everything I tried to conjure from my heart sounded irrelevant and frail when I took it out to read in the morning. for your integrity, and your wisdom.

I believe writing keeps you humble and  enables the soul to grow from the beauty and the goodness of people. thank you all for inspiring me to be a better person and a better mom to Sean and Will.

Congratulations on a great year! I, too, feel a connection with you and other bloggers. Somehow it makes the planet seem less vast and overwhelming. Keep on writing!

Congratulations, Irene. I remember hitting that one year mark -- feeling so proud that at least I had posted something on a regular basis for one whole year. I think we all agree whole-heartedly with Bonnie -- more thanks for sharing your life and your family with all of us on the blogosphere.

Congratulations on the one year milestone! I love, love, love your blog. It is so real, so relate-able (the hairy arms!), so inspiring. I hope you continue to share your world with us for many more months to come.
