BlogHer Post Up....Come Hit Me With Some Love

Proud to be here January 5


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!

    You 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!

    I 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.

    On a side note, is there a "Bloghim?"

    Because this is bullshit.

    I 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.
