Mimi, I’ve got the CommentLuv plug-in active, so if you put your blog URL in the Website field when you make a comment, it should pop up a link to the latest post on your own blog. It’s my way of connecting my blogging readers.
Thank you for your great comment, Mimi! This Heartspoken journey is uncovering both some old favorites and some new ideas, and I’m thrilled if something I find resonates with my readers. What is amazing (and probably worthy of a post all by itself) is how CONNECTED all these areas of connection are :-).
Elizabeth, each of these is a favorite and I treasure the timing of this post and seeing them as a collection. Thank you so much!
