Confessions of a Junkie

I have a  confession to make.  I love reading blogs.  I do. I am a blog junkie. I love learning from others.  I love seeing personalities,  discovering different points of view, understanding the heart of another, seeing what makes someone tick. I love expression. I love feeling. I have to set a time limit when I read blogs because I eat them right up, and it eats my time right up. Admittedly there are some blogs that are a much better use of time than others, but I love blogs because I love people. One of my favorite things about blogs is that a good portion of the time, I find something I need in someone else's writing. I get inspired, I get questions answered, I feel vindication, I feel kinship, I learn. And when this happens, I am usually spurred to write, and then hopefully I say something that someone else needs. I feel blessed that with almost every blog post I write, someone ends up talking to me about it or thanking me for what I write. I do not accept credit for that. I blog quite sporadically because I most often have to wait to be inspired by something before I can write. I am always extremely grateful to receive inspiration-Heavenly or otherwise. I really want to be the kind of person that can be prompted and inspired and then be able to do something with those promptings. That is the purpose of my blog; to be inspired, then pass it on.  In doing so I hope to find joy, and to share goodness with others-to then inspire. I love how that works. I love it that expression can be transformed into service. If not service, then at least some small form of inspiration another can relate to. Feeling light-sharing it.

Sharing Light

This post is to thank those who share and those who inspire. Please don't stop. We need each other. To get through this life it helps to know that someone else out there is doing it too. Someone else feels our pain and our joy, knows our discouragement and triumph, understands our losses and our gains. It helps to know that someone else has made it. That someone else is cheering for us. That someone else has been there. That someone else is imperfect, that someone else struggles, that someone else overcomes. So share away. Share your joys, your experiences, your advice, your warnings, your support, your observations and motivations. Inspire me so I can pay it forward. And if I inspire you, please share that too. Share my blog because chances are if you are reading it, you are one of the people who has inspired it, so your influence gets passed on once again. That's how we keep each other going. It's how we stay steadfast.

Thanks for being someone in my village. I'm so grateful I have such a good one. My wish is to make sure others have a good village too! Keep sharing.
