I was astonished by the number of people who asked me why I stopped writing. "Umm, Teri, your blog didn't go up again." "Did you run out of people to thank?" (you will NEVER run out of people to thank). "Is the starfish dead?" "I miss it!!" "Are you feeling ok?"
When you make a habit of doing something every Monday, people begin to expect it. I thank you all for your concern.
So many times in life we do things for the wrong reasons. I am a people pleaser - always have been and always will be. It's in my nature. But in my 26 years, I have only recently learned a very important thing. Sometimes, you need to do things for you. I stopped writing because life got in the way. My Monday night ritual was interrupted by my 3:45am wake-up call. But when you truly love something, you find a way to make it happen.
I am not writing this blog post because I feel like I owe anyone. I am not writing to make anyone happy. I am writing for me. Writing makes me better. Sometimes, it's the only way I can express myself. And if you are reading this, THANK YOU! If my thoughts encourage you, even better.
Today's Starfish
I recently went on an awesome vacation to Vegas and Santa Barbara. It was absolutely amazing. Today's thank you goes to one of my very best friends, Lisa, and her mom and dad who opened up their home to me in CA and made my stay exceptional. I had the BEST coffee, the BEST wine and the BEST seafood EVER!!!!! They truly made me feel like part of the family. I am very blessed to them in my life! I picked out a lovely thank you card for the Wolfe's although a card will never express how grateful I am!
