Encouraging Words

I write posts for the Loveland Center for Business Development (LCBD) blog, facilitate the LCBD Bloggers – a LinkedIn group, and  just started Mary Ann’s Walkabout blog. I am an apprehensive writer and within minutes of posting, I can find fault in the writing.

I received a lovely email from an LCBD client the other day and in the note she wrote: “I wanted to tell you how much I love your first blog post :). It was very inspiring.  So often, we get caught up in our own little worlds and forget to truly open our eyes and soak in the wonders of Mother Nature. She can help us to center ourselves if we truly opeMary Ann's Lilacsn our eyes, ears, and hearts. Thank you again! I took a screenshot of your post as it will serve as a daily mantra. I was pretty bummed out yesterday.” (this LCBD client just went through some very serious surgery) “Your post lifted my spirits. I went outside in the backyard and took note of all that Mother Nature had to offer. You really are inspiring me to write.”

I had a very difficult time writing my first post for this blog. This email made my day; hearing that it helped brighten someone’s day.
