All this discussing over here has been fantastic. Thanks to everyone for your willingness to share back ~ your thoughts have spurred more thoughts in me and there will certainly be more posts to follow, but today I thought we could use a little art again. Just a peaceful sentiment in a pretty painting. Some genuine nicey niceness!
I have to say that while it took a fair amount of courage for me to publish both of my last posts, I’m glad I did. I feel free today, and like I stepped further into who I truly am. It’s hard to verbalize, but it feels right.
By the way, Christine has carried on the discussion further in an honest and eloquent post at her blog today. I actually do know her in person and can say that she is very much the person she presents in her blog. In fact that is how she and I became friends three years ago now. I wanted to meet the person I read about in the blog.
She said in her post, what I was hoping to share and she said it so beautifully that I had to quote her here, as this is my intention too.
"I can explain my intention this way: if someone is reading my blog, and then we meet in person, I want that person to recognize me face to face. In other words, I want that person to see the same person in the flesh as they see here in words and pictures. This is different from the need to feel seen; this is about wanting my blog and my self to be in alignment. This blog holds me accountable, and that just might be my favorite thing about keeping a blog. In aiming to write and share authentic stories about my life from a place of integrity..."

I have to say this little painting is a breathe of fresh air for me after reading your blog and all the comments made here the last couple of days.
Life is so serious most of the time and I for one prefer feeling happy and enjoy the work that you bring to me as an artist and a blogger.
Thank you so much for that little bit of peace and enjoyment that some of us so need.
Hugs to you
Karen
