This is on the front of a card I received this past week from a dear friend. She was recently at a retreat at Boyds Mills where they have a poetry rock garden where you can assemble stones with carved words into poetry. She wrote to share a new poem she had written and to express her thanks for inspiring her to write a new novel in verse. She said that this something she would have not done if it weren't for me.
Well, I was overcome with joy and so humbled. The poem she sent was lovely and brought me back to the place where we first met. At that time I was pretty timid and unsure of my voice but with her help and encouragement along with some others in the group, I was able to be confident.
So here's my encouragement to you today: Let your voice be heard because you never know who is listening, who is being inspired, who is growing.
Thanks for sharing. Many Mondays could use a positive attitude. Mine sure can.
ReplyDeleteHope your Tuesday is even better!
DeleteBeautiful story. Inspiration is always needed and appreciated. Taking a leap is scary but I'm glad you were able to make a difference for your friend with your positive words.
