“When are you writing your book? Like seriously. I was reading your blog site this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it! I read more than my mind and time should allow. When reading your blogs, I could actually see and hear the events in my mind. That’s an awesome skill and gift. Your writing…made me reflect on myself, made me want to visit Maine, and made me appreciate how at 52 I’m still growing up! That’s a gift.”

Receiving this message from my friend, John, was timely and motivating. I don’t get a lot in the way of feedback from my blogs, so hearing how they have impacted just one person lit a fire under me that I hope never goes out.
If anyone else would like to send me some feedback to add to this, I beg of you, please do!!! Good, bad, or indifferent, I really want to know. Your input will help me grow 🙂
