Another year gone by and I still have barely a clue as to what I'm doing here. We seem to have a pretty good racket going on though: I write. You read. We share.
Without all of your encouragement, I might have quit writing at a few points during this past year. I seriously owe each one of you—whether you comment or not—for showing up to read and share what I have to offer. My confidence as a writer continues to wax stronger every day because of you. Thank you for being a part of this dynamic year of red, blue, and the ever-present purple moments.
Without further ado, I give you the All Things Purple: Top Ten Readers' Choice 2013:
Lovely compilation! I enjoyed the journey anew. The joy, pain, confusion, certainties of life given a beautiful purple glow! Thanks for being you. I know we haven't met and that our journeys on this planet differ vastly, but I feel I know you. If I get the courage to blog, maybe you will get to know me a little too!

Your poetic replies always catch my eye especially. Thank you for replying in a language I love. It is refreshing. Thank you!
DeleteI can't believe I haven't read your blog until today! I'm in love!! Will you continue the 52 Gems of Reflection for the new year? I read Life Lessons and loved it. Oh, I'm addicted. I believe I'll be reading lots of your blog today. Thanks for posting. I LOVE finding new blogs!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you've discover me, too! And that you have enjoyed the experience. :) I've been considering continuing the 52 Gems series, but not sure yet. You are more than welcome to link up to any of the writing prompts though. I would love to read your take on any of them.
DeleteI'm with you. Community supports the tough demands of writing regularly. Simple but so critical. :)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the way you put that: "Community supports the tough demands of writing regularly." Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
DeleteI, too, like this "racket" - especially since it yields such a treasure trove of writing as found in your acrostic. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And Happy New Year to you too!
