SP Wednesday - A Love Letter

Do you know how much I love you ?

I think you do.

You make me feel like you do.


Everyday...


You have given me a safe place to just be myself,


a place where I can shine

in all kinds of ways...


With support, encouragment and kindness,


you have helped me to believe in myself,


and my talents and strengths.


You have also taught me to really believe in the goodness in others.


To know that we all have a story to share


and that we are all in this together...


You have made me feel the wonder of what happens


when you really give love to another



and then feel the love return to you



one hundred fold....


You have allowed me to witness beauty in so many forms...

and creativity



and creation


that makes my heart sing with joy !



Oh, Blogland...


You


are


so


beautiful


to me...



Happy Self Portrait Wednesday !
here's a love song for you, my blogland friends !

    i love these photos, and your loving words are so beautiful along with them... most of all for what you are seeing in yourself... we are all on this journey together, a journey toward self revelation of our truest heart... that spot which lies deeper than anything that the hurts or burdens of life may bring our way... and the true beauty of this blogging experience is to encounter others along the way, friends who are also on the road with us... it makes the road a whole lot less lonely, and it also makes our burdens lighter when we carry them together...

    thank you for sharing you...
    xo

    p.s. i agree... your eyes are magnificent (i love that word... magnificent)...

    Your post is just lovely and so true. There is so much support from our fellow bloggers for the work we're doing and risks we're taking. It really IS a community, far-flung as it might be.

    I so identify with your expression of how the blogging world has been a place to give and receive love like no other. For some reason it is easier for like-minded souls to find each other, across geography and so much more, to be connected. Your beautiful self-portraits communicated love so well, Kim. I am glad to have found my Queen and to be able to be a part of her world! xo, O

    This was absolutely beautiful and so touching! The fact is, everything you mentioned, your presence here in blogland does for me - and, I'm so sure, many others. You're truly beatiful inside and out. For real. ~ Big love to you ~ Serena
