the fun continues

I have an on line friend, Deborah, who actually was the first person that I got to know when I started blogging.  I don't remember how I found her but I am glad that I did.  We follow each other's blogs encouraging each other along the way.  In fact, she was a creative Late Bloomer in my first vase. 

She suggested talking on Google+ Hang Out.  (if you want to know more about it, let me know) I had never heard of it before but I was immediately on board.  It's similar to Skype or Face Time.  We connected this evening and it was sooooo much fun.  The funny part is I could see her but she, for some reason, couldn't see me.  It didn't faze her one bit.  We chatted and laughed. Talked about our dreams.  How proud we are of being Grandmothers.  All that great stuff!  We will do it again, I'm sure.

I am loving the connections I am getting from kindred spirits.  It must be in the air because I am hearing similar stories from some of my other on-line friends.

Have you connected with someone lately?

Thanks Debbie

I did.  This past October I met Debbie in Sedona, Arizona -we both were there celebrating our wedding anniversaries. There were several couples that John & I would regularly met up with  in the hot tub, at the end of the day with cocktails in hand.  We would have a good time, laughing and talking about our adventures from the day.   It was on the last day of us being in Sedona that Debbie and I really got to know each other.  Not sure how it all began.  I just know the subject came up about our dreams and aspirations and that was all it took for us to delve right into what we wanted to do with our lives.  It was a  instant connection, kindred spirits.  We began talking a mile a minute, barely coming up for air.  It was very exhilarating to share this excitement with someone.  Debbie readily  tells people that she thinks "she found a soul sister".  I'd have to second that motion.  I believe we will be there to inspire and challenge each other to be the best that we can be.  Debbie is creating beautiful and heartfelt greeting cards.  Read more about Debbie and the path she is on at  http://photographsmemoriesandmore.blogspot.com/.  

Debbie and her husband, Mark, came to visit us yesterday.  It was fun getting reacquainted since October.  I believe I can speak for everyone that we had a really good time. 

Debbie purchased 5 of my new 5x7 plaques that I will be selling on my new Etsy shop that is planned to open in February.

I can say that it is uplifting to know that you have "friends' who encourage you along  your creative path while making you dreams come true.  I am ever so grateful for each and everyone of you!  My strongest desire is that I can be that sort of friend right back to you.
