A little heads up on our 15th anniversary (blogiversary) tomorrow, December 29, 2020.
I’ll share the actual proclamation tomorrow. But I must say right now that this touched me far more deeply than I imagined. Councilor Bruce Kraus sponsored this and the staffer who handled it was so delightful to work with, they seemed genuinely thrilled for me.
I tuned in to the Council meeting this morning to watch the proclamation. It was very brief and I just adored that the tech issues of Word not pulling up a document were part of those moments – how very fitting for a blog. I watched the expressions of the visible members of Council as these words were read and I saw smiles and head nods.
I keep thinking back to these precious days of Christmas breaks during school years. I remember mostly feeling a bit cold, a bit let down, and a bit unsure of hope. I was not a writer – no diaries, no letters, nothing. In fact, I was afraid to put things to paper because that sort of permanency felt very threatening. That’s a trauma response.
If you had told that kid she’d be a writer with local and national awards and have a day named after her blog, she’d say “what’s a blog?” (of course) and then physically back away from you because there was no way she was going to write about anything for 15 minutes much less 15 years.
