If you are a writer, or would be writer, you must read this post. I share it with you because I identify with it strongly. I identify with it because it eloquently states my reason for writing. In my case, I began this personal journey blog as a form of self-expression and without any illusions that I would attract the masses. I wanted a platform to write and nothing more. I hasten to add that I appreciate and am blessed by each person who honors me by following this blog. However, as a born and raised New Orleanian would say, that’s lagniappe (For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it means ‘an extra bonus.’). The bottom line is that I love to write, and if you do too, this post is for you.
Dear Lydia,
What a beautiful blog you have created! I am so intrigued by the concept of “seeking querencia” ~ I had never heard of this before, however, I have absolutely been on the journey wholeheartedly over the past year.
Life is such a gift! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring words to add richness to the journey.
Peace,
Allison

I could tell by your posts that you have been on a similar journey and ‘querencia’ describes it more beautifully than I ever could. May your journey be filled with peace, love and laughter. i look forward to your posts. Blessings, lydia
