      1. I wish more women would take the time to reflect on their lives like that instead of doing that outward focus thing. You’re right. Everything you want to achieve requires hard work. The satisfaction at the end of the line can’t be beat.

    2. I still have so much to learn about this whole blogging thing- I sincerely hope that I am growing and maturing through it. I really want to be authentic and say things that impact other people in a positive way.

      1. You have so much to share with us, readers and what’s why your contribution is valuable. As long as you’re honest and true to your convictions. Your truth, not the version we want to read, but what we have to hear.

      2. I just want to be sure that I am not spewing swill. The mechanics of it all are still a bit of a struggle, and I really need to proofread better. lol. It is so fun- I have lots of things that I am working on, and look forward to publishing them.

      3. I can tell you’re from the UK just by your phrasing. It’s lovely! The queue is a good tool, as it really helps you to pace things out and get things read by readers. The mechanics take a while. I’ve only been here since October last year. And I’m still an obsessive proofreader who misses things anyway, so there’s really no cure for that. Just keep at it, and I really want to read more from you.

  2. You’re from Texas? You have a very strong hackney dialect. I luvvit. This is fantastic, people do this to me all the time, thinking I’m from somewhere else because of what I sound like. Now I get to do this to someone based what they write. I’ve really mucked it up. No offense. I meant it the nicest, warmest, huggiest way possible. (Dying from embarrassment). xoxo SB
