Connections and WordPress

I value so much all my followers on WordPress.  I also value so much those amazing bloggers who are so honest and real and open hearts and minds to show the workings going on inside.  It fills my heart with joy when I can read something and relate and then comment and connect to the other person, and even though I will probably never meet you in the flesh, you mean a lot to me.

My purpose with this blog was at first not that clear.  I never imagined this would be one of the outcomes of sharing.  A fellow blogger kindly published a poem I wrote on my last painful relationship and she recommended I start.  At that stage in 2013 I had been writing poems for a long time.  I turned to writing in childhood when I did not have anyone around to share my heart and soul with. I would poor it onto the blank page and this continued for years.  But it became a stronger urge when I was in the later years of my addiction, very lost and tortured inside.  I wrote of how I knew deep down inside I had a problem with alcohol but did not know where to turn.  I also wrote my dreams and impressions of life.

When I got sober writing became something I hoped may end in a book.  I was writing and writing, keeping a daily journal and then trying to write about astrology, mythology, my addicition recovery and other poems and musings.   The name of the book I was working on was going to be called Chrysallis.  Several of my computers have gone done which contain realms of documents I never transferred with hundreds of pages of that book.  I shared some of that in earlier posts in 2013.

Blogging is now for me a necessary outlet.  I use it as therapy and as a connective link to others hopefully via both our hearts and minds.  I value it so much, more than words can say really.   And I love to pour out of my heart, at times like this, how much you all mean to me and how much I value reading your posts.  I have several followers who amaze me with the commitment they show to my blog, I wonder when they will get tired of it.  I hope they never do, but also know that the law of life is followers will come and go.  But just for today a big hug to you all.   You mean so much to me.  ❤
