When I mentioned to...I'm so glad I found this. When I mentioned to my husband that I told Ree she was part of what influenced me to start blogging and that blogging has already changed my life so much for the better - and then thanked her for having a little hand in it - he told me it was a silly thing to do to ambush her and get all weird and sappy on her; that I should have been cool and waited...oh...I dunno...10 years until my blog was more successful and I could be seen as a peer and not a stalker. Needless to say, that thought completely mortified me. Somehow, deep down I felt that she was not the type of person who'd view it that way. She seems a genuinely lovely person. Her reply was "Aww...you're gonna make me cry." See, I'm like you - when someone impacts me on a profound level, I feel the need to let them know. She may hear it hundreds or thousands of times, but she hadn't heard it from me until now and I wanted to say it because if you get that chance to tell someone they've made a difference in your life, why not do it? I love your story and that's part of the beauty of blogging. You can make that connection that would otherwise seem so unattainable.

Yes, Nie Nie. I immediately went to her blog link from the article and was mesmerized. I think I sat there for 4 days straight, reading every single one of her splendid posts. I emailed my sisters and said, "Have you heard of this blogging? Take a look!" <br /><br />It took me a few months to work up the bravery to start my own blog and it took me about a year to realize, "oh, you have to comment on other blogs to get an audience? It's not like, if you write it, they will come?" So, don't worry Empress, you weren't the only one without a clue. <br /><br />Ree is one of the very best introductions to blogging a person could get. So glad you found her because somewhere along that road, our paths converged and that, my friend, was a great day.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-18674823737737145552012-01-24T08:11:08.206-06:002012-01-24T08:11:08.206-06:00What a sweet, lovely post!
