It never seems to fail (thankfully) that whenever I am at a low point in self-confidence, and am wondering if all this work and writing I do is worth it, I get an email or post from a stranger who fills my heart with satisfaction and my eyes with grateful tears. One person ... that's all it takes ... that's all that matters. If just one person is touched or moved by something I've done ..... well ..... it doesn't get any better than that!

Thank you, to all of you who have made such a difference in MY life!

I talked with my brother’s ex-girlfriend on phone last night. Support comes from the strangest places. We are rarely in contact since she and my brother broke up six years ago, but she has been reading my web journal on a regular basis and just wanted to let me know that she thought I was a great writer. Then she went on to detail all the reasons for thinking so. Ironically, I don’t think of myself as a write at all, but it turns out that I am one despite what I think.

Thank you Leigh for your encouraging words and insights, you are right…it never fails.

mark --
perhaps you're not a writer ... perhaps you're one of the few who are truly gifted in the art of true expression, whether it be in music, heartspeak, or writing, which uh ... makes you much more than merely a writer. :) I have a sneaky suspicion that that's the case for all of us who can't breathe unless we set those whispers free. ;) thank you so much for sharing with me. i am honored.
