To this day I don't know how she found me. But I went to her blog, wondering who in the heck she was, and saw a button that said, "Calling all LDS Women Bloggers!"<br /><br />It has honestly changed my life.<br /><br />And I'm glad I got to be part of your tour!

I'd never even read a blog and suddenly I left feeling terrified that I didn't have one and somehow any future author endeavors were doomed.<br /><br />I dove into the blogging thing for one reason, but like you, it morphed very quickly into something different for me. The friendships I have made through blogging have filled a gap in my life that opened when I left teaching and the close female bonds I'd formed there. I enjoy the women in my ward at a very surface social level, but blogging friends have allowed me to reconnect at that deeper level that I crave.Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-18704775208993296372009-07-25T01:21:18.827-07:002009-07-25T01:21:18.827-07:00Relief Society on Steroids is such a perfect way t...Relief Society on Steroids is such a perfect way to describe it.

I enjoy all of your posts. Also, thanks for your grammar book. I use it all the time I have a freind who is taking English right now and everytime she calls I grab that book. <br /><br />I was at the library on Wednesday and I met a woman that checked out all four of your Temple books. some she was reading again and some she hadn't read yet but loved you as an author.

Some...I so grateful for the blogging community too. Some of the world's finest women I have met through the blogosphere. I found you through Heidi Ashworth. Though I knew your published name (saw it on books all over the place) I never connected it with your blogger profile. For some reason, I was particularly dense. I can't even remember the reason I finally decided to check out your blog (I'd read your comments at Heidi's for ages and ages) but I'll never forget the day I did.<br /><br />You were sharing your "writing journey" and had all the links up at the top. I decided I wanted to hear it all from top to bottom. And something pretty amazing happened. I read something you'd written about the journey (I even remember exactly what it was) and it was like God literally whispered in my ear. I connected. In a huge, profound way. I'd been waiting forever to hear another writer say what you did. I remember tears filling my eyes and an easing in my heart. I'd waiting so long for you--and finally I'd been led to a woman that I truly believe is one of the finest, most upstanding, most genuine women I've ever met. <br /><br />I'm so, so glad you went a-hunting in the blog world. You'll never know what a treasure you've given me and how much I truly respect and admire you. Thank you for your kindness, friendliness, and honesty. You are all that is exemplary and <em> good</em> in womankind.<br /><br />Oh, and the word-nerdiness is gold too! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-56432768514126087762009-07-24T14:27:47.636-07:002009-07-24T14:27:47.636-07:00So glad you found that community otherwise I would...So glad you found that community otherwise I wouldn't have been so lucky as to find you!Kimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-21818474112942469462009-07-24T14:00:27.007-07:002009-07-24T14:00:27.007-07:00I think that some people's guinea pigs even re...I think that some people's guinea pigs even read my blog. <br /><br />And I'm so glad we found each other!
