That was a wonderful post and so many be...Hi Lani,<br /><br />That was a wonderful post and so many beautiful responses from wonderful people that we bloggers seem to connect with here better than real life sometimes. It seems easier to speak from the deepness of our hearts here online. I truly believe that most of us are *different* and *special*. I believe that many of us yearn to share and communicate at a deeper level than a lot of people in our daily lives. Thus, the connection of kindred spirits. <br /><br />Our souls reaching out to each other in support, simply because we know what each other's hearts yearn for.<br /><br />I do understand the need to reconnect with family. In ways, I feel that blogging has definitely deepened this desire with them. Because blogging is an exercise, typically, of the soul and heart. Through blogging, perhaps you hear what you is more important in your own life and it was part of your calling. I speak from how blogging has influenced me.<br /><br />For me, it was taking off from work. Focusing on my health and my family. Reconnecting as you are - only with the partnership, encouragement, and inspiration of fellow bloggers here :)<br /><br />I LOVED your post! So meaningful and well-written. Truly beautiful. I am glad that you are listening to your heart. Try to be easy on yourself about blogging and your passionate interests, that's an important part of who you are and your way to give to others, like myself, who hear you and need the written word to drive them towards their life goals.<br /><br />I believe we all go through phases of reflection and change. Blogging has been a positive influence in my life on a personal level and an inspiration on a creative level.<br /><br />All in moderation, eh? :)<br /><br />Juls~Papier Creatifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070928853118142791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626779429624213964.post-66724343657804191402009-06-07T21:14:25.698-07:002009-06-07T21:14:25.698-07:00HI Lani..

Go and do what is calling to you and I hope to see you back here as soon as you feel it's right. I will truly miss stopping by and reading your words of wisdom and viewing your inspiring art. Without the internet I might never have seen your wonderful artwork that personally inspired me to try my hand, always hoping that my work would reach out and touch like yours. I will think of you and hope for your successful journey and hopefully a return to your online world too. chris thuerkChristine Thuerknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626779429624213964.post-82208592030178999822009-05-08T10:37:00.000-07:002009-05-08T10:37:00.000-07:00You were mentioned on a thraed in ETSY about how i...You were mentioned on a thraed in ETSY about how inspiration you are one of their favorites, so I just had to look.<br /><br />I am so glad I did!<br /><br />Linda a/k/a Mamapainter.etsy.com or doorno2.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626779429624213964.post-3685214174720393052009-05-05T11:04:00.000-07:002009-05-05T11:04:00.000-07:00Yes and Yes again , Lani.

I smiled. I wanted to stand up and shout, "yes! yes!!". More wisdom in your words than you know. I hear your weariness and questions. But, I know this kind of journey reaps RICH returns! I want that for you. I am praying for deep rest and restoration for you during this season. I pray for you to see, hear, taste, smell and feel life at a whole different level. I pray rich blessings on the relationships in your real world. Your intuition about what is needed at this point in the journey is right on.

And you know who I mean, our family, neighbors, as well as ourselves. When I stepped away for a time to do the same . I had such a journey with the Lord and connected with family, friends, nature, to smell the freshness of the air outside and the warmth of the sun on my face, I call it the kiss from heaven. I'm due for another one as well and I do look forward to it!!<br /><br />Be blessed in all you do and I wish you all things beautiful..<br /><br />Hugz LorieJoyfulsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288063897551319116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626779429624213964.post-17974686094494933812009-05-01T17:55:00.000-07:002009-05-01T17:55:00.000-07:00Well, at least you are in tune with what you need....Well, at least you are in tune with what you need.

I commend you for listening to God and doing His best for you and your family. BREATHE and just BE. You are loved whether you are on the internet or not.<br />"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour."

It is so easy to get caught up doing something that at first glance seems harmless...even really fun. But we all know there comes a point where that harmless thing has crossed the line in our life and the risks begin to outweigh the benefits.<br /><br />We only have so many hours in our day; only so much energy to expend. When the world is at our fingertips it's easy to want to explore it all, touch everything. But the reality is I have children who need to explore their world with their mommy and learn to appreciate the blue sky and the wind in the trees.<br /><br />Thank you for your brave first step on a journey of rest and change...I am inspired to do the same.<br /><br />I'll be praying.<br /><br />FlorenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626779429624213964.post-68501230907136782302009-04-30T20:48:00.000-07:002009-04-30T20:48:00.000-07:00Lani, I just sent you an email.

Sometimes it's easier to "talk" hidden behind a screen than to risk a face-to-face exposure. I'm guilty of this myself. I hope you are able to rest, enjoy the present moments around you, and discover what's waiting to catch your attention. God bless you in your journey!<br /><br />-MichelleMy Journey to Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044277320767388388noreply@blogger.com
