I had no idea!

I've been blogging about 2 months now. I had no idea what I was getting into but I have learned a few things about myself:
I want to help. I want send out positive, creative, and thoughtful information into the universe.
I don't want to bore you. Several people have signed up as followers of my blog, what a wonderful compliment! I don't want to let you down.
I want to be popular. I started checking the stats to see how many people were checking into my blog. Read me! Pick me! (temporary flashback to being picked last for the dodgeball team in elementary school).
I want to be famous and private!?! I went to Google, clicked on images and typed in "pink and purple horse". The first image was mine....how thrilling, how scary. Thoughts and images are sent out with little control of the life they will lead after I hit enter.
I need you. Interactions with other kindred spirits nourish my inner artist and give me inspiration. Before finding the on-line textile/quilting family, I felt rather alone on my creative journey. Not anymore. I am a member of a complex, wonderful, and ever-evolving community. Thank you all!

AMEN, Suzan! Isn't it amazing to be a part of this huge, wonderful family? IT'S A NEW DAY!
Reading blogs is always interesting. We can't all be amazing all the time but like you I appreciate that blogging takes away some of the solitary nature of the creative process. Your blog is always an enjoyable read - keep it up.
Great post! I completely understand what you mean about feeling alone before quilting. I was definitely in the same boat! I'm so glad your blog has been so beneficial to you and I'm glad you share it with us!
