You said what I feel. I have gained confidence through blogging that I never knew I had in me. I’m comfortable with my own goofy way of writing and wonder how the cynical posters can keep it up day after day. What are they like in real life? I worry about my writing all the time but I’m 46, so who cares? I’ve let go of so much. That professor who gave me terrible grades on my writing isn’t here now.

Hey Arianne,

Just wait til you hit 40! That’s when I REALLY got comfortable in my own skin. But ya know what? I wonder if I had blogging as a community in my 30s…if the support of others…might’ve been a confidence booster. Hmmm. Glad YOU have it now!

BTW, popped over from your post at Shannon’s to tell you how special your words were there . So thankful you had opportunity to reveal a glimpse into your heart.

Well done…(and hugs to you for those “hard moments”).

You, as I’ve recently discovered through this new-to-me blog, are a fabu writer.

I question my abilities all the time, but I think you’ve got the right attitude. Now if I can just adopt it for myself…

I’ve found that this aging thing is totally me… I do like myself more and more, or maybe I am proud of my decisions and abilities more. Whatever it is, it doesn’t mean we won’t still question things (as that only makes us understand more) and anyway, so, I totally get what you’re saying. And writing.

you are so cool. Seriously! I think there is a place for all that heartfelt ‘fluff’ and I for one would prefer to read words like yours that ring so true.

As for confidence and questioning I am certain more people battle with that than we know. So common. But you totally rock it woman.

I almost wrote something along the lines of, “That’s great…go get lost!” and then I realized that ended up sounding rude .

I’m so glad I’ve found your site…you are such an eloquent and inspiring writer. Can’t wait to meet you at the People’s Party!
