One-thousand posts is quite the milestone, m’lady.

And we all love that you’re a storyteller. I really think that’s the single greatest talent a blogger can have. I find that I gravitate toward a few key blogs . . . there are great writers out there, by the droves . . . but, well, there are few who can turn a “I spent a day with my boys and nothing extraordinary happened” post into a post worth reading.

And you can.

Congrats on your 1000th post. That is amazing to me… I still have a long, long way to go. I love that you tell your story and the way you tell your story. I’m not as eloquent with words that’s why I post a lot more pictures, I think. It’s my way of preserving the memories for my children! Here’s to the next 1000!!!

Wow–1,000 posts! Good for you! As a kid, my dad affectionately referred to me as, “motor mouth.” So, I totally get you–I cannot *not* talk. It’s how some of us are wired and it is great to see a blog where talking through it all brings you joy! That’s why I’ve begun blogging, as well. Joy in talking–err—writing.

I feel the same way. My “about me” page even states that I’m a storyteller. Any time I meet up with friends they always say the same thing, “tell us about what is going on.” I finally realized that what they want is the story and I’m actually good at telling it.

You and are so similar and that is probably why, I like you so much. I consider myself a story teller and that is why I blog.

I tell stories, sure I love to get a response from the audience but mostly I write those stories for me and someday for my children to read.

This was a beautiful post… thank you.

You are more than just a storyteller my friend…you are a writer. A brilliant one.
I’m so blessed to come and read your words every single time you post whether it’s good stuff, bad stuff and all that’s in between.
Your writing is real and raw.
It’s an extension of your soul.
We are all so privledged to be apart of your journey. xoxox

What a great post to mark the occasion I’ll still be here reading, happy or sad, love your stories! Funny I find it difficult to get certain stories out of my parents too…. must work on that!
