Thinking); Judging (=organized and orderly). Myers Briggs gives the following definition: Seek meaning and connection in ideas, relationships, and material possessions. Want to understand what motivates people and are insightful about others. Conscientious and committed to their firm values. Develop a clear vision about how best to serve the common good.

And now you have discovered MBTI which I worked with for twenty years in personal awareness and leadership seminars. Through proper interpretation it can help understand behaviors and preferences of self and others. My guess is that the well intentioned others who offered advice did so based on their own preferences and experiences. Stay true to yourself and continue in the way which works best for you. You seem to have found a lovely place to be right now. Embrace it!<br /><br />Chris Allin (castlebrooke3)George and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17089495236742294339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-40191717158697056832015-10-27T21:08:03.364+01:002015-10-27T21:08:03.364+01:00This post really touched me.

It changes the mood when every post is a pitch. Don't get me wrong, I like to buy things. But, some of the blogs out there feel like that is the only reason they exist.<br /><br />I enjoy Lost in Arles because, somehow you transport us to a place where time seems almost suspended. I read your blog when I want to hear a warm breeze rustle the leaves of a plane tree, or gaze across the rustic countryside in the moonlight. <br />Most of us do not exchange letters with friends anymore, but your blog seems to be in the tradition of that type of correspondence from another era. Keep on keepin' on! <br />BTW,bless you for helping Ellie find a new home in Provence! May you both continue to share your unique voices for many, many years.<br /><br />Smiles from Charlotte Des FleursCharlotte Des Fleurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569095144803584465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-34091034053070732862015-10-27T06:00:42.738+01:002015-10-27T06:00:42.738+01:00YES!

So, you are an INFJ? I am as well and have never met another one. I'm not alone after all! (probably explains why I so enjoy looking at your life through your lens). I love your photography and the poetry of your words. I, too, blog -- five years as well. I'm more sporadic than I once was and my readership has shrunk. Like you, I am not blogging to create a huge readership (tried that for a year or so, ugh). I have a few loyal "friends" who comment regularly and I blog about what interests me in my small corner of the world. Anway, I really just wanted to say "bravo!" to a fellow INFJOak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-5325753412633426412015-10-26T23:15:01.962+01:002015-10-26T23:15:01.962+01:00Dear Heather,
This is just my opinion but I think ...Dear Heather,<br />This is just my opinion but I think that your blog IS big. The beauty you capture both in words and photos, the honest, open soul reflection that you offer and the kindness that pours from you are so rare in today's world. It is more than big, it is huge. You offer your very specific way of experiencing the world and all its hurt, magic, craziness and yes beauty. Never doubt that what you offer isn't very special. Numbers of "followers" are just numbers. I am an INFJ as well, maybe that's why I always think you are on my wavelength. I would love to see more posts because I am greedy but then I think about the caliber of posts you create and the "life" that you must have to generate the posts and I realize that the number you create is perfect. Sorry I have rambled on. I'll just close by saying in my book "you've got it going on".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963267896650528160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-89393712823982793782015-10-26T22:20:30.942+01:002015-10-26T22:20:30.942+01:00Congratulations Heather, you have achieved so much...Congratulations Heather, you have achieved so much over the last 5 years, quite an incredible journey.<br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761151374247820754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-76658543206141475052015-10-26T19:22:32.699+01:002015-10-26T19:22:32.699+01:00I have/had a blog....it is still out there somewhe...I have/had a blog....it is still out there somewhere. Congratulations on 5 years! Writing a blog on just your own ponderings (word?) takes quite a bit of time. I really don't enjoy the ones with all the advertising you have to click through and over. I have enjoyed reading you for a couple of years and applaud what you are doing as just perfect. I love the little insights into life in France as I sit in Texas. Please keep it up.

Always a pleasure to view your amazing photos and to read your posts.<br />The so called "small" things in life are actually the most important. You are clearly one who thinks in depth and has a high standard of integrity. So many blogs are all about the author and simply a promotion of self. That is their right and choice, but not something I want to waste my time reading.<br />Please, always remember how effective your blog is in bringing joy and insight to it's reader!<br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724871775184361617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-56910275463795924852015-10-26T17:54:09.672+01:002015-10-26T17:54:09.672+01:00I can't believe it has been five years!

When I was finally able to figure that out (I think a full 2 years later) I was gobsmacked when you responded. And continued to respond. You made me so welcome. You are a treasure, and I love "my visits with you" Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a place I belong to heart and soul.

I had just been scrolling through the 'stats' part of my blog and wondered to myself, why am I doing this? Then I got caught for a moment in the "I need a new look, I should concentrate on expanding my readers, etc. (you know the mantra of successful bloggers - of which by-the-numbers I am not). You've inspired me again to continue doing what I am doing and if I reach a handful of people then so be it ~ hopefully I will have touched a few along the way. Let me assure you I've been touched by your blog; keep up the good work because people like me look forward to hearing from you.Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-10462593865316627292015-10-26T05:51:16.200+01:002015-10-26T05:51:16.200+01:00Heather, please don't change your vision, your...Heather, please don't change your vision, your seeing!

I wish there were more like that who spoke when there was something truly meaningful to say, who waited for the spark to light the fire and the words flow freely. I feel right at home here, hope you always will.<br />Very best wishes, Vicki Lee xVicki Lee Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409588969370991946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-82368935563709820142015-10-25T18:16:32.974+01:002015-10-25T18:16:32.974+01:00I love your blog!
