Life through my Eyes

My Big Sappy feelings, being nostalgic today! 💞💖💞

Ok, I'm going to get sappy here, I'm not sorry guys So here goes, now that I have completed my 1st year membership here at WdC. I would like to tell you my story of how my great journey with WdC started.

I was very apprehensive about posting anything at first, so like a dummy I didn't get back on. Life kinda spun out of control for my son and I. Months went by, then one day I received a email from WdC, reminding me to update my info.

Still apprehensive I waited a few more days, debating if this site was like the one I was on.Trying to get money out of me and not even give me opportunities that I needed to spread my wings. One thing about WdC, they have never received any money from me. The gift point system is phenomenal. It helps gifted writer's that can't make ends meet, reach their dreams.

It was September, now. I decided to post a few of my poetry in my portfolio and fill the bio out, and set everything up. Still apprehensive, nervous, down right scared to death. I went for it.

The very next day low and behold who showed up on my doorstep Bubblegum Jones bearing gifts. My very first MB 😱😀. "What is this," I say to myself out loud.

My sons walking by and says, "Huh?"

"Oh, I joined this writing site and I just received a merit badge from someone named Bubblegum Jones!"

He laughed and said, "Alrighty then," and walked away.

Ok, yes, he was uninterested in it at that time. Now, he sits and listens to me read to him from different writer's. He has read the works of papadoc1 The Crossing .. Sum1's In Schaumburg . He loves Rhoswen - Relentless Victory and the Jottings of our dear Jay O'Toole and finds Joey' Falling for the Season Angus and 🌕 HuntersMoon very amusing. He appreciates Steve McLean who helped me with my proofing, as so do I.

He will get to hear about the new friends that I've made these past few weeks.Patrece ~ Lilli 🧿 ☕ NeedingBeachDuf 🐠⛵🏝️ Inkslinger Princess Megan Snow Rose Nixie🦊 runningwolf04 Choconut My classmates from

He has heard all about our Gold Angel Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? how she has a heart of gold. I told him about what everyone had done to honor her in the love that she gives to other's. Yes, I was crying when I told him. Just like when, I made YELLOW Case. I was bouncing off the walls when he got home that day. He has heard of the support that we give each other and the growing love that I have for every single one of you. Ok, I did say, sappy right? 💞💖💞

I do have to say that if it wasn't for all these gifted, open hearted writer's the encouragement that they give me every single day. I would not be here, today writing this or anything else.

My heart is so full of love from everyone here. I need to thank everyone of you. I appreciate everything that you have given me. Encouragement, wisdom, laughs, tears, love, friendship and most of all yourself. Be true and stay true, I love you so much, every durn stinking one of you. Ok, I'm not calling you stinky Angus or 🌕 HuntersMoon our lovable make everyone laugh gentlemen. Yes, I did call you, gentlemen...lol

I have to say that this would not be possible if it wasn't for our great founding father The StoryMaster and his queen The StoryMistress You have made this so possible for so many writer's. It is this unbelievably amazing love that you both pour out to complete strangers. Whom, now have become a big part of your ever growing family.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to spread my wings and soar to new heights. Without you, so many amazing people, I wouldn't know where I would be today.

All my love,
Legendary Mask aka Girlwa💓 aka Teresa🤗💖🤗
