I started this blog mid-April last year in response to Effy Wild's Artfully Wild Blog Along. And I've kept it up for almost a year. It surprised me how much I enjoyed blogging. And that people (true blood friends) seemed to enjoy my blogs. So Effy is offering this again this year: read and comment on at least 3 blogs and post your own every day in April. Every day is a big commitment but I remember how much I enjoyed it last year. My blogs now tend to be at least one a month though I aim for more. Already I'm starting in a hurry. Off for a belated birthday dinner with a friend soon after sleeping patchily after midnights last night and a union vote mid-morning. So this post will be a simple one: my first spread (cover page) from A Year With Rumi, also offered by Effy Wild. This is a course that I am completely loving. Rumi's quotes are deep and thought provoking. This one was one of my favourites. It's your road...and yours alone. Others may walk it with you but no-one can walk it for you. ~ Rumi The actual piece is more shimmery than this picture shows. But the quote appeals to me. I see it as being all about reclaiming your own life and your own power. It also seems to encapsulate the idea of a blog. Others may walk the road with you by reading it, but the words and the atmosphere created in your blog are yours and yours alone.
Thank you for your company. May your road today be smooth.

It's true. Our blogs are what we make them. The look, and the feel. But I like to think, that those that read our posts maybe take a little bit of it with them. Maybe they take a little inspiration or a little connection. Either which way, I'm happy to share this road with you!

Thank you, Amanda. Yes, that's the cool thing with blogs, isn't it? You never really know who you touch or who finds something worthwhile in something you've shared.

Thank you, Suzanne! I'm glad you're enjoying the Rumi course and that you're blogging along again as well. And then there's Moonshine. <3 See you in all the places as Effy says!
