To new and older followers

I guess you could say my blog has had a slow and steady growth rate.  I am just over 4 years in to blogging and I am only at 925 followers which may not seem like a lot but to my mind is an achievement of which I am proud.  I don’t achieve the ginormous amout of likes of other blogs but I am fine with that.   I appreciate when anything I write resonates and even now and then when it challenges other’s beliefs or ideas, I am not the best with conflict and separation as I am sure a lot of you have noticed and my recent work in therapy is lately focusing more on this because in order to be an individual in life we are not always going to gel and not everyone will like us or love us or even want to be near us  That fact is is just a fact of life and its something I am learning to accept with more grace without invalidating any one on either side.   I guess this may be a sign of my growing maturity  (taken some years to get here as I turned 56 in February).

Anyway I hope you all know how much your expression of support means in terms of following my blog.  I write on all kinds of subjects although a lot of it concerns my own individuation journey as well as recovery from alcholism as well as articles on psychologically oriented subjects such as attachment and bonding.   In the past I have covered issues such as scapegoating, emotional sensitivitity, emotional abuse, narcissism and narcissistic injury, invalidation abuse, trauma and complex trauma as well as sharing prose and poetry as a response to all kinds of life events, but most especially grief and loss as well as spritual awakening and inspiration.

Due to the way my blog is set up you can only access posts in terms of chronological order so sometimes I try to reblog older posts for new followers.  I would love in time to set up a website where I could have category buttons so you could just click on that subject to find all related posts but I dont have the expertise or skill set for this yet.

Well this was just a welcome post really to new followers.  I usually follow my own flow in terms of content.  I have not ever followed ‘daily prompts’ before as I work organically from an intuitive emotional flow but I do see the value in this kind of connected sharing.  If there is anything you would like to read about I am always open to suggestions.  As my blog is growing I try to keep up with all comments but if I miss you its an oversight on m part, as your reading means a lot to me I will try my best to respond as soon as I can.

Anyway sending lots of cyber warm and fuzzies out to new followers as well as those kind kind souls who support my blog so religiously for a while now…your support never goes unnoticed and it means a lot to me as I live alone and dont have many local connections.   Bye for now.
