synchronicity?

So, I made the pledge to blog more often. I fell off the map for a little while, but this week, I’ve gotten two signs that I should get back to it!

First, I wrote a small guest post for 37 Days; she is putting together a free ebook in honor of her daughter’s high school graduation, and invited readers to submit short pieces of advice for her daughter and anyone else about to embark on adulthood. I overcame my usual reservations about my own writing and submitted something, and lo and behold, she posted it this week! Consider this: the best days of your life will sneak up on you. I’ve never written for someone else’s blog before – I barely write enough for my own! – so it was a little thrill to see my writing posted on a blog seen by so many people.

Then, today, I came around to contemplate what I should blog about, and saw that Gwen Bell had mentioned my very first post on Twitter! Yet another blogger I admire greatly acknowledged me and my writing, which is kind of amazing. So … I’ve spent the last 9 weeks on The Artist’s Way; I think I can recognize synchronicity when I see it.

So, if you’re surfing over here because of one of those two ladies, hello! I’m thrilled that people might be reading, and I will try to produce a little more content for you! For now, though, it’s off to Wednesday night crafting, as I’m still participating in 30 Days of Creativity, and whatever costuming/jewelry making/knitting that goes on tonight will certainly count!
