Connecting...

"Remember that everyone has something interesting to share.  Honestly, I've learned through experience that if you love it, someone else will love it, too.  The greatest gift I've received in this blogging journey is the absolute pleasure of connecting with other like-minded souls." - Veronica Funk, Artful Blogging, Summer 2014

This article was one of my greatest privileges to write and when I saw this quote that was pulled to share online and in the magazine I was really happy.  One of the greatest things I have learned is that whatever each and every person has to share is of value.  I was extremely and painfully shy when I was growing up and still often feel as though I shouldn't have spoken up or shared something.  But then I began to receive the most wonderful feedback from other people who feel exactly the same way I do and now don't feel so alone.  So, I'm glad I've taken the leap to share publicly how I feel about things, especially about art in my life.  If what I share helps someone else to feel better, more connected, than I feel better, too.  There is nothing more wonderful than connecting with another person.
