Love and acceptance. Forgiveness is a gimme and understanding that while we try to be the strong woman in our own worlds, we can come here and be us and its ok. Lifting each other up in prayer, in praise, in a sisterhood unlike anything we had before. We all are talented. We have something that makes each of us special.

I've always only found beauty and grace on your blog, and I enjoy coming here. Your last sentence was about encouraging one another. It reminds me of this: "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV I have a pastor friend who once gave a message about "Balcony People" vs "Basement People". Balcony people lift others up, they cheer them on. Basement People drag people down, and discourage them. I want to be a Balcony Person. And that's what I believe you are.

You are an artist in your heart and you create beauty with your words and your love for everything lovely. I have always loved the scripture that says there is nothing new under the sun! We are all just duplicating what God has given another.It all comes from him. When I make something and someone wants to know how I did it, I think of it as an honor. But I have copied things from an artist that I can only say looks like a shadow of the original. We are called to love and encourage others. You my dear have graced me with kind words and encouraged me in my walk! But you have also given a truth of the real person! Just know you blessed me in a time of the hardest week of my life. Now that was not an accident, but God;s providence...<br />Yours, Roxy xoliving from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-69547914967277560022014-10-26T13:30:56.538-07:002014-10-26T13:30:56.538-07:00A lovely post, my Dear.

I appreciate your acknowledgment of my blog, thank you.<br />I have met so many truly unique, sweet, kind and generous bloggers. For me reading a new post is like receiving a gift of someone sharing their talent and their thoughts. I always give credit on my posts with named sources. Blogging takes time and thought and I truly enjoy the friendships I've been graced with by a community of talent and compassion.<br />I hope this read OK, I'm fighting a cold and I am attached to a Kleenex box!<br />Debbie I value the friendship we have formed.<br />xo,<br />VeraRow homes and Cobblestoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643916045622529275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-77037187582758401402014-10-26T07:45:04.295-07:002014-10-26T07:45:04.295-07:00Hi Debbie, See many people believe we should all b...Hi Debbie, See many people believe we should all be nice to one another too. That makes me much happier. I have visited blogs that I may not have agreed with the topic, I will leave just leave a few words or none at all. But I do try to leave kinds words. Do we need our blog family hurting us? isn't there enough hatefulness in the world? I just can't do it. That is one reason I do not face book...everyone knows your business and some are not kind with comments.....like they have forgotten the golden rule. Debbie, you know you are truly special to me....you were there for me when my daughter went thru breast cancer...you sent cards, prayers and words of encouragement. I will always hold you in high regard.

You are correct in saying that people can interpret the same thing differently, something that surprised me once when two of us had the same writing assignment topic.<br />The women I've met through blogging have all contributed to my personal growth with their varied talents and personalities. Some of the crafty ones have even inspired me to creat things I otherwise wouldn't have but in sharing it on my blog it's important to give credit where it's due. <br />I once caught a blogger sharing something at a blogging party link that I had created for my blog and when I told her she needed to credit me, she just said her sister had sent it to her...she didn't get it at all.

This...I had no problem with the first post on this. This one has quite a measure of diplomacy, may have been inspired by a thought of making someone angry or that You were angry, god forbid! because ''nice blogging ladies don't get angry'', right? lolol. That is the readers choice, but often the words need to be said the way they come out pure and unadulterated for their authentic message. I don't know what is going on but I have seen others take credit for something they didn't create. I did try to tell them to return it since they had put their name on someone elses work, but nothing came of it. I was not the only one who told them....but they have chosen not to for some reason.<br />I still think original artists have a well spring - and what they possess more than art is an abundance, alot like a fruit tree one person alone cannot consume, but must either sell or give away some so it doesn't be wasted. A thing of beauty, once put ''out there'' WILL be mimicked and copied, this is a rule, to be expected. As artists we expect that some will sell and some given.....but once out, the creative force within others will create something from it. Once given out, it belongs to the world. I often think, what is more important, or Godly.....that we get credit for something we created and try to police it by copyrights? and others are forbidden to play with their versions of it? or that someone was so enlivened, inspired by what I made they wanted to make their own version, to duplicate it? I love the inspiration, love inspiring others, what I created is out and giving joy now. I can go create something else, and keep doing this until I am out of creative juice....but just think of what it made those copiers feel? You gave Rachel Ashwell as an example, a good one. I have seen some of what she created made better by others who mimicked what she ''invented''. I love this......things of beauty keep transforming into more beauty.Lady of the Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394158858295264012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-9591407962575008282014-10-26T03:50:43.294-07:002014-10-26T03:50:43.294-07:00A perfect post on this beautiful Sunday morning :)...A perfect post on this beautiful Sunday morning :) We are so lucky to have this life!rjerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453912819445395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084376826721259321.post-86661845058676017962014-10-25T21:39:57.174-07:002014-10-25T21:39:57.174-07:00Very true!

I think we need to honor and respect the diversity of others and not criticize or confront when someone doesn't think as we do- or do what we do. That is what makes the blogging world go around.<br /><br />I love that we can support each other as independent women and craftswomen and artists. Some have a way with words that are pure poetry. If you have ever read Laurie's blog (I Loved A cloudy Day) she writes about everyday things and it reads like a pure prose to me.<br /><br />If I don't like something on someone's blog - or am offended by something- I simply leave the blog. What they feel is their privilege and prerogative and I would never judge them by my own standards (as low as they might be--lol). <br /><br />Thank you for this uplifting post...a celebration of bloggers and blogging and good friends across the blogging world.
