She was one of my very first visitors when I started my blog five, maybe even six years ago. She and I have written together for as many years, and we have had group pajama parties here at # 9. This year we saw the moon and ocean at midnight in Provincetown, she still in her pajamas, and we've written sad stories in small journals in Vermont with a very special mutual friend.Most likely we both understand more than we wish we did about things that cannot be understood. She's a good friend, a good person, a good mother, a terrific writer. And now she is going to Jamaica to serve.
I've missed Melissa's blog since she shut it down a good while back. But she's back. Please stop by and say hello and welcome, if you don't mind. You'll find her at http://rainthatsneededfalls.blogspot.com/ I've absconded the illustration above from her first new blog post. That should tell you something about her.
HELLO MELISSA! WELCOME BACK!! i love circles that come around!
Love kj
Ah, I love those circles and I have been learning this, pushing myself out of that comfort zone more and more.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have friends like that.
I will go visit her.
xoxo
This (as Milady says) made my eyes leak. Thank you, KJ! :) It's good to be back!
ReplyDeletei love this illustration and am truly glad that someone so intelligent is back! over to her blog now..
ReplyDeleteNice to have a friend return!
ReplyDeleteI thing mostly the magic is outside our comfort zone, but sometimes a within it, too. But then, I think the magic is fairly pervasive.

ReplyDeleteoff to meet melissa!

ReplyDeleteYep thrilled to see her back on board. She's been a Facebook friend for almost as long so lovely to see her documenting her adventures.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah; one other thing.
