This post is so great and exactly how I feel about all these things but you have articulated it and made me think that maybe I can actually DO this. Thank you, dear Blythe.

You are such an inspiration and listening to you talk about your children at the event was the greatest! You're a ROCKSTAR mom and I agree 10,000% that this past weekend was filled with excitement, one and a lifetime experiences, emotions and beauty. It was such a blessing to meet you and see you in person rather than behind a keyboard. <br /><br />Sincerely, Shelbi<br /><br />www.sincerelyshelbi.blogspot.comSincerely, Shelbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039854544476479145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165594238100314829.post-66349257640269668892014-08-15T06:16:39.104-07:002014-08-15T06:16:39.104-07:00It's so nice to hear your perspective.

I just know there's something about blogging that is fulfilling in a way I can't explain, and I want to do it for a long time.

LOVED this post because I was #50 and that's exactly what I felt like. The middle. And I've felt like I've been stuck in the middle for so long. (And now The Middle by Jimmy Eat World is stuck in my head). <br /><br />I'm so excited to follow your adventures here. And if someone is taking notes, here's another vote for California! My mom lives there and I'd love to combine visits... and drop the kiddos off with her while I go to The Hundred 2.0. :0) Indianahttp://indianaelsewhere.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165594238100314829.post-84915978143516341252014-08-14T22:45:43.712-07:002014-08-14T22:45:43.712-07:00Jumpin' in here with another vote for CALIFORN...Jumpin' in here with another vote for CALIFORNIA!
