When you share your thoughts online, you can expect to get negative commentary. When I started sharing my passion for writing I accepted that not all feedback would be friendly. I have plugged along posting when I feel inspired and using this space to be open about my thoughts and feelings.
Yesterday, however, I received the most positive and uplifting feedback from my bonus niece Ms. Baxter. She is an independent woman with a passion for children and community. She runs the Boys and Girls club in her area and has a real respect and rapport with the families that attend the facility. When I shared my blog with her, she didn't respond with just sure. She followed through and read it. She has been a supporter and a friend and her feedback has given me the desire to keep writing no matter who is reading.
