Recently a friend asked me, “Why the blog?”
My answer involves a question.
Is there anything that makes your heart sing – an interest or activity that excites you, makes you happy to wake up each day?
The process of writing does that for me. Finding just the right words to express a thought or capture a moment gives me great pleasure.
That satisfaction is what gave even this timid woman the courage to launch out into cyberspace. (Admittedly, I was pushed forward by the recognition that anyone who wants to be published has to establish an online presence.)
This “curly girl” plaque by Leigh Standley captured my feelings after I made some important life changes last year. So I bought it for myself as a reminder to listen for my heart. I blog because it makes my heart sing!
What brings music to your world?
My heart is like a singing bird. Christine Rossetti
Ah! I finally got “in” as a follower. Good job on this post, Dorothy.
