I found you via Gr...Such a beautiful post Heather. I found you via Greet's blog and so now I am a new fan. I am still trying to find my own voice on my blog. I will definitely go to the other blogs that you have mentioned here - so nice to find other unique bloggers to read.<br /><br />I hope that you are having a wonderful time in the States visiting your Mom and sister. My youngest daughter was across the country for 6 years but now she has come back to NY and I am so very happy. I missed her terribly, like your family does you. <br /><br />I love how you post your pictures (and I love the photography...I want to be able to learn to take photos such as yours) and weave in the blog story. It's a beautiful and artistic way of doing a blog. I need to do more of that in my blog - instead of just posting projects. I have done a few more personal blogposts - and I've found that the more open I am, the more comments I get. I have a long way to go to make my blog better - and reading yours has given me so much food for thought. Your sharing has really opened my eyes.<br /><br />Thanks...LindaLindahttp://www.thecolorfulbee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-63336644240635256922012-11-19T02:06:23.934+01:002012-11-19T02:06:23.934+01:00I found your lovely comment at Mouse's blog an...I found your lovely comment at Mouse's blog and thought I'd check yours out.

I love this lovely post, with its as-usual stunning photos (esp. love the one of the tall flowers by the grey door), but, especially, the idea of sharing. Of course, it's what you do for your readers in every post - share your take and your philosophy and artistry. It can be hard to share - it makes one vulnerable and afraid of whether there's enough to give and/or will be reciprocated. So thank you for sharing yourself with us and for sharing these new blogs - I'm sure they are so grateful! Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238181152648216554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-38658590526027742502012-11-10T12:54:10.447+01:002012-11-10T12:54:10.447+01:00Thank you so very much Leslie.

Every one of your posts inspires me. And makes me laugh or cry, think and learn.... And today, you outdid yourself! Bravo and thank you, Heather.<br /><br />Since the recommendations come from you, I will make a point of visiting the three blogs you wrote about today.<br /><br />It is absolutely wonderful that you will be sharing Thanksgiving with your American family. Where do they live? How long will you be there? <br /><br />My brain is buzzed from the euphoria that started the evening of November 6 (and the cacaphony of effort and anxiety that preceded it). I hope to be a better communicator when I figure out how to keep the euphoria and delete the brain buzz. I couldn't wait, though, to respond to this post.<br /><br />Warm greetings to you, Remi and Ben.

And found community, new interests, new friends.<br /><br />We all start out as the Little Engine that Could even when we don't know we're doing so. It's part of the unfolding experience. And equally, the extraordinary quality and diversity of writers to be found in this medium. A very, very happy surprise.
