By the time you read this I'll be well on my way to the mountains and fresh air of Colorado for some much needed r&r. I've been dreaming about and planning for this for awhile now, counting down the days and checking things off my to-do list. But I couldn't let today pass without mentioning that it is the 2nd anniversary of my blog. Yes, two years ago today I published my first post on A Sweet Life. At the time I just wanted a place to be heard, a place to put the words I'd been holding in for so long. I don't know what I was expecting or hoping. I just knew I wanted to put something out into the universe. I had no idea where it would lead me. I had no idea the connections I would make, the stories I would tell, the poetry I would write. To say blogging has changed my life would be an understatement. It's been indescribable. It's been more than I could have ever imagined. And it's been totally worth it. So thank you for being a part of A Sweet Life and Tangled Wings. Thank you for your support, your encouragement, your comments, and your friendship. Thank you for opening your heart to me. Thank you for letting me write it all out...and for reading it all. Thank you for treating me like a long time friend. Thank you for seeing me and hearing me and letting me know my voice matters.
Happy Anniversary! And thank you for making your blogs a place where we can all feel welcome and at home. I've learned so much by reading your words and watching you grow.
