1000 Thank Yous

Hey everyone! Happy Saturday!

I canโ€™t believe itโ€™s the weekend already! I know I said Iโ€™d be back last Saturday with this message, but work and stuff got in the way as it usually does (that dang pesky work, always ruining my life!) ๐Ÿ˜† ugh!

But, anywaysโ€ฆ

This was originally supposed to be humpday post LOL ๐Ÿช letโ€™s just pretend I posted it on a Wednesday and that I got to finally use my image!

I hope you are all doing well today, Iโ€™m behind, as usual (with everything in my life!) but I wanted to wish you all a great day and of course, say thank you.

This post is a bit overdue, as some of you have already seen and mentioned it.

I canโ€™t believe it!

I have several things (and people!) to be thankful for, and I never like to miss a chance to show gratitude.

First, I am so thankful for aอŸlอŸlอŸ oอŸfอŸ yอŸoอŸuอŸ.

I have always said itโ€™s an honor, a pleasure, and a privilege to be a part of your world.

I never thought Iโ€™d make it this far, and itโ€™s all thanks to you.

Iโ€™m grateful that (often daily!) we get a chance to make a connection. Iโ€™ve been slower in writing and keeping up with blogging in the last few months, but you are always in my heart and thoughts, and of course your kindness and warmth has meant so much to me.

You really do!

Secondly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Adam Fenner for reviewing my poem, Extra Venom. Iโ€™m thankful that Adam picked up (so perfectly!) on all the emotions and aspects I was trying to convey in this darker piece:

โ€œExtra Venomโ€ is fueled by raw emotion, but it never spirals out of control. It sharpens anger into something precise and unshakable. The imagery keeps the tension high, making sure every word lands with impact. The speaker is not asking for justiceโ€”she is delivering it herself. There is no hesitation, no uncertainty, only fire, venom, and the certainty of victory.โ€

Extra Venom – Reviewed

His reviews are the best! Thank you again, Adam.

Third (of course there must be 3 things!) I am super grateful to have connected with Michele Lee who hosted her Creative Call last, last Wednesday (told you I was behind!) lol ๐Ÿ˜† and of course connecting with other wonderful creative minds, John and Rebecca. Truly such an honor and a privilege.

Much appreciation and great discussion on taking care of our creative brains, a topic Iโ€™m so interested in.

A feeling of being on top of the world, literally.

It should go without saying, I have been unbelievably blessed to receive your kindness, your love, and your friendship and there are relationships Iโ€™ve developed here in this corner of the blogging universe, from all around the world that I am certain will last a lifetime, and I couldnโ€™t possibly ask for more. Itโ€™s been amazing getting to know you throughout this past year.

You have laughed (hopefully a lot!) with me, shared your deepest and darkest, indulged in many a cup of caffeinated goodness with me, shared some rockinโ€™ tunes, and have been there for me in good and bad times. Youโ€™ve taken nature strolls with me, shared your beautiful art (and shenanigans!), your fantastic photos, blessed me with your grace, lovely poems, and your wonderful presence. Your motivating posts and kind words have made a huge difference in my life. Your interesting posts and fascinating facts have wowed me! You inspire me everyday. So many of you have offered so much support, love, and encouragement which I am eternally grateful for. Reaching out to me when I needed it most – that I will never forget.

Thank you, for continuing to stick with me.

You are always so deeply appreciated.

Love,

Thank you again for taking the time to read and for being a part of my journey.

My apologies as well, Iโ€™ve been a bit behind! ๐Ÿ˜† I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    • Thank you for your kindness. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™ve had this blog since 2021 and all I can ever really tell people is to consistently write. It didnโ€™t happen overnight. I wrote at least for a year and started engaging with people and their posts. Best of luck! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  13. Hi, Laura, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this sooner.๐ŸŒบI’ve been hit with the lovely flu. But I’m much better now. Kevin told me you gave me a shoutout and I wanted to express my appreciation. I read the article but didn’t see it. That is okay. I know I’m very late. Please forgive me.

    Also, congratulations on 1001 subscribers! You deserve tens of thousands more! ๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŒบ
