thanks

I was going to tack on a thank you to the beginning of a different post, but then the thank you was getting really long.

Maybe it was getting so long because it was way overdue. So here goes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Starting this blog was something I wanted to do for a lot of different reasons, but I never thought much about how it would make me feel. In the beginning I thought that if I shared a little, gave a little bit of myself away, I would be overcoming some long held fears. What I didn’t bank on was this feeling of connectivity. Feeling connected to my life and the people that make it up. Whether I’ve known you my whole life or if you’re a newer player or somewhere in between, you know me a little bit better and are connected to me a little bit more through this blog. You show up. And you have no idea how much that means to me.

Thanks for listening.

You’ve listened to me spill my guts about all sorts of things.  When I posted my gut story a few weeks ago, I thought for sure that I had pushed the boundary of over sharing. I was feeling very overexposed. But over the last few days, you’ve come out if the woodwork sharing your own gut stories. Knowing that you are listening, that we are having a conversation, is amazing to me.

Thanks for believing in me.

Whether you comment here or text me or email me or like a post on Facebook or subscribe or just stop by to read when you have a rare minute, I know that you’re behind me cheering me on. I had no idea there were so many people in my corner.  So thanks. I’m having fun. I’m feeling your energy. And it’s keeping me moving forward and pushing through the resistance that’s wants to shut this whole operation down.

So now is your big chance – if you have anything that you want to see more (or less) of on the blog or anything that you’re interested in me writing more about, tell me here in the comments or if you’re a subscriber, you can reply to this email. It can be related to something I’ve already shared or a totally different topic. I’m all ears and open to just about anything.

And now for a yoga model update.

Finally lululemon posted a picture in my neighborhood store of the yoga teacher from my modeling session. You know I’ve been stopping by once a week looking for myself right? Well, we’re (that’s me, my agent and other assorted folks) are very disappointed to say they didn’t even use a picture from the class much less one with me in it. It’s a solo shot of the teacher in triangle. Big whoop. So that’s the end of that. Next time, I’m going to refuse to be photographed if that’s how they’re going to play it.

Now you can burst into the Golden Girls theme song. I know you’ve been dying to.
