Dreams do come true. Mine have.
A post I submitted to BlogHer is up today.
I am so very happy.
Happy for so many reasons.
It's hard to say why I have such joy.
I think the main reason is that I have always dreamed of writing. I have diaries from 3rd grade on, where I have entered, "I just want to write."
I have always been vulnerable to words. Words have always saved me. I have always wanted to do the same for others. To somehow help them feel less alone, less out in the world, less something.
Thank you, BlogHer, for allowing me the chance to reach others with my words.
Can you see the 8 year old little girl over here, clutching her diary, smile?
I would so much appreciate it if you would click over to BlogHer and leave me a comment there.
THANK YOU! Without all of you, this never would have happened. THANK YOU, ALL!
Heading over now! Congrats!!!

Sent you some Canadian lovin. I haven't been on that "old" website in ages ;) had to requestmy password all for you Empress. You rock mah socks!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for getting your writing in so many different places! Loved the BlogHer piece. Negative = Positive and don't you forget that.
ReplyDeleteYou rocked it, Empress! I tried to comment over there, but I haven't been on the blogher site in so long I can't remember my password. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI bet that mean-spirited commenter showed up on your blog the next day and felt like a fool. People who hide and throw darts from the shadows don't step into the light for a reason.
Can you see me smiling? I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteGoing right now!
Empress, this is SO deserved! You are a talented writer, a gracious friend, and all sorts of awesome.
ReplyDeleteI visited there today and thought of you, basking in all that comment love.

ReplyDeleteOn a side note, is there a "Bloghim?"
Because this is bullshit.
Many congratulations to you! I'm not signed up to Blogher; but on my "hit list"... I meant to do list. I MEAN I will shout you out on Twitter. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so GREAT! I'm going over now.

ReplyDeleteAs they say in the old country, Mazal Tov!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your inner 8 year old!
ReplyDeleteHeading over!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :) I just read the post and think it is fantastic. Which is to say, YOU are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out how to comment there...so I'm commenting here. Anyone who has to hide behind the name "Anonymous" to leave a comment...doesn't get credit for a legitimate comment. "Anonymous" was likely a mean-spirited coward. Period.
ReplyDeleteHi Ali! Congratulations on your 15 minutes of fame on BlogHer! I am sure it will morph into much more than that! Your writing is wonderful and you really hit the heart strings on that subject. I am now following your lovely imperial blog and your tweets! big hugs! Alex
