look a little deeper in your luchbox–next to the note from your mom, I have placed a ziplock baggie full of chocolate kisses just for you!

I also love comments..leaving little pieces of me behind, and reading those pieces left for me. I love when a comment can make me think of things in a new light.

Oh I have been away for awhile. Very endearing post. It is great to get nice messages-it is almost like your own private cheering squad. It also helps especially on those blah days. Great stuff Swirly. Cheers!

Your blog was one of the first I read, having discovered it through Keri Smith’s, and it was one of my most treasured blessings of 2005 Christine. Truly, truly, and truly again. I hope that all of the support you receive here reinforces what you already know, that you are an amazing woman, writer/artist, and friend.
And new to blogging myself, I am astonished at the kindred souls I have found here, and in such a short time. And the support people extend to one another here, people whom have never met in person and yet know one another’s heart and soul quite intimately. I keep learning in ever wider and ever deepening circles that I was never as alone or as different as I might have once assumed. This is a beautiful thing we women have going here! I only wish I had known of it sooner!

this is beautiful. i want to be a part of this community. this community of encouragment and truth and honesty. im trying but im still on the edge. you make it seem so mystical since i am still on the outside of it all, but im gonna try to make it into the side of the blogging word as you describe it. it seems as though you all have these people holding you up when you are down and encouraging you when you need a push to keep going. its beautiful

Sometimes I wonder if this is all reincarnation–the meeting of old and new souls. How else can this instant connection be explained? I don’t know. Or perhaps there’s something about energy and the wavelength of it and how one person’s energy and another, vibrating at similar wavelengths, can travel across thousands of miles and through CATV cables and phone lines.
I don’t know. But it’s amazing!

As a fellow blog & comment junkie, i echo so many of the thoughts that you voice here today. Blogging is what’s kept me from sinking to the bottom of the mire during a currently challenging time. Furthermore, I have a wonderful community of women that I share with in real life, and I have taken to referring them to particular blogs (like yours and Superhero, SelfTaughtGirl and GrannyGotAVibrator) so that the inspirational words i read here are further shared even by those who don’t spend much time on line. These journals are marvelous for circling with our sisters and weaving an electronic web of support and blessings.
Vive la Blog!

Hi Christine! I loved this post — my own blog is very new and a kind of compulsion and I loved to hear you admit to being a comment junkie! And as for the wonderful threads of connection that are spun through the ether, it is still a novelty and a marvel to me, all these wonderful women, all these creative souls, I keep visualizing it as a big world map with little sparks lighting up all over it and finding each other. Yours was the first blog I started reading – so thank you for sucking me in!
