Milestone, Anniversary, Landmark, Special Occasion…any way you view it 500 of anything is an accomplishment to be proud of…and I am!
SOAR
“Do what you love, and love what you do. DO WHAT YOU LOVE, AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO!…I want you to go to the edge of the cliff, jump off, and grow your wings on the way down. Don’t worry about having the wings, they’ll come.” -Ray Bradbury
As you know I am deep in the process of building my wings…I jumped off that cliff on January 1, 2010…and I have not hit the ground as yet!!!
Creating these 500 articles has been a time for growth as a writer and an artist. It has also been a time of transformation. The first pages of this magazine have grown into a maga-blog celebrating the life and lifestyle of creatives everywhere. I haven’t pushed or shoved, begged or cajoled the over 2000 newsletter subscribers or the 909 Facebook fans…it has developed organically. That way I know they are real fans and loyal readers.
A Love Letter to My Readers
The blogsphere is designed for creativity and self-expression…every day we are invited to create something new…something fresh and something memorable…and, just as quickly, it fades into the next moment in time…and begins anew.
I took a risk this year by transforming the look and feel and mission of C8C. One of my all time favorite bloggers Evelyn Rodriguez of Crossroads Dispatches wrote: “Technology can either be used for more efficient isolation or more meaningful intimacy.”
I chose the latter…more meaningful intimacy. The linking…the sharing…the dialog…the new friendships add layers to my life. Through Cre8tive Compass I have come to know and care about people I would otherwise never have known. I come in close contact with the everyday lives of hundreds of you daily/weekly…and all are precious jewels I treasure deep in my heart.
It is this connection that keeps me coming back…the commonality that fuels my spirit with hope and love. The blurring of borders, both real and imagined, seems to be happening before our eyes as we blog and connect and interact. Daily you help me widen my perception and my reality. You enhance my soul’s perspective…learning about you helps me learn of myself…
The need to express my everyday life…in my real, raw voice helps me grow…as a woman, a friend and as a citizen of our planet. With each word I write I become more connected to my spirit.
Growing and Soaring I am…thank you for allowing that connection with you to flow…
