It’s happened a few times in my life. I remember them all.
I am talking about those moments when you achieve a result, receive a sign or have a door open; when something happens to you that you know you will always remember as a sign of your accomplishments, your perseverance, your gumption or sheer dumb luck.
Call me wacky (my friends think I am nuts) but I am freaking out about the fact that I just got an email from Topher Delaney (she says I’m FABULOUS – and yes she used all caps). It ranks right up there with the day I came home to a voice mail from Diarmuid Gavin wanting me to come for a job interview (which I totally blew with own inability to have a normal conversation with a personal idol). Or when Margaret Roach made a comment on a post about wreaths… or when Germy the Germinatrix of Domino fame asked me (in a comment) ‘where had I been’ all her life. Maybe I am easily flattered..but I am flying high as a kite right now…Thanks Topher.
I love blogging. I get to help people, be creative, celebrate what I love, the people I admire, and the talents of my colleagues – except for an income, I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Has this type of thing happened to you? I would love to hear about it.
I am brand new to the world of blogging and networking so I haven’t had someone I admire acknowledge me in that way yet. The closest thing for me was when my mentor complimented my work. I have had gratitude and recognition from clients, though, that has reinforced my conviction that I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing!
