Thank you so much for your visit and encouraging comment love, @ulogs.
The very existence of #Ulogs has confirmed a feeling, a knowingness that real people are always interested in life stories of other real people.
Years ago I prepared a book draft. It was a mapping of a part of my personal journey up to that point... not a straight diary but a diary of sorts. I submitted it to several best selling authors for reviews and feedback who happened to be visiting a conference in Jamaica that I also attended.
One very well known author, now also a television show star, told me that no one is interested in reading about the boring life story of a non-famous person. I was crushed. Even now it still brings tears to my eyes.
Despite the pain of that and other rejections of that idea, I never lost faith that ordinary people's stories are inspiring to ordinary people. Shared humanity is powerful. Sanity protecting. Life affirming.
So discovering #Ulogs and all the other 'non-celebrity', 'un-talented' initiatives that make much of each and every single person and meeting @surpassinggoogle in his Saturday Talk and After Party last week, was powerful.
That's why I've kept saying that it was such a healing experience for me just being there then meeting and greeting everyone on their #Ulogs afterwards. Each person's story matters. And each person's daily moments are puzzle pieces, mini stories in each life story.
Thank you for knowing that and gifting us with #ulogs to share who we are each day with others and Life Itself throughout all time. Maybe that's why I just have not been able to write up my #fomomo review post of last week's Talk. My string of mini reviews lay in the heart of each comment I shared on each attendee's #ulog since Sunday. Hmmm... that feels fitting somehow. And I'm finally fully at peace now with that. I still felt a twinge of 'failure guilt' again. Until just now. MORE healing. Thank you, again. xxx
