10 november

i was positively honored, humbled, thrilled, choose-your-adjective when the kind folks at artful blogging contacted me about writing a piece about this blog for their magazine.

and i was positively amazed, floored, blown away when the magazine arrived in my mailbox a few weeks ago.  to see my photos and my words there, in print, on the pages of artful blogging (alongside so many wonderful bloggers - people i know, and people i'm thrilled to discover) - it was overwhelming, and more.

i have to admit that i felt shy reading my words there in the magazine.  that i read all of the other articles before i read my own.  that i waited whole weeks to share this here because i was feeling bashful.

but there it is, this lovely publication on my dining room table, reminding me about the beauty of blogs, of blogging.  reminding me of something i have long known - that it is an art form of its own, this sort of blogging that we do in our neighborhood.  reminding me about finding beauty in little things, capturing the simple moments of which our lives are comprised, celebrating the joy in the every day in an effort to invite more joy into the everyday.  reminding me why i love this space, why i love what i do, why i do what i do, why i am here.  i am humbled.

How nice to see your words and images in print. Well, sort of in print, actually blog photos of the printed pages. I'd like to see a real copy and might need to click on your link so I can find out how to do so. There's just something about the physical "page"...it's ironic that your blog and article about your blog is making me think about this. Life is funny that way...
