A few weeks ago my blog subscription service was interrupted without my knowledge. A few kind readers emailed to let me know that although I had posted a new entry, they had not received it in their inbox.
This meant that when a post did not appear for many days, someone noticed.
This means a lot to a gal who just started publishing her Hands Free journey three short months ago and thought her parents might be the only ones who would ever read it.
When I received the emails from readers who noticed there was a problem, it was like being back in elementary school on the days when you stayed home due to illness. It felt so good when your teacher or a friend called to say, “Where were you? We missed you today.”
I never fathomed I would have readers who actually looked forward to my posts.
I never imagined in my wildest dreams I would have readers all over the United States, let alone Germany, Canada, Japan, Moldova, Cayman Islands, Great Britain, and Indonesia.
I never expected to be completely and indescribably supported, encouraged, and inspired to continue this Hands Free journey I am on.
I never expected that I would need to let my readers know there would be a lull in publication so they wouldn’t wonder where I’d gone.
I never expected these things, but as I have learned on this incredible journey, the most meaningful moments come when they are not planned; the most extraordinary gifts come when you least expect them.
Thank you for the meaningful moments and unexpected gifts you have given me.
By now you may have guessed where this is going…I am taking a week off to grasp what really matters by fully enjoying my family while my children are on their spring break from school.
And I know you understand because you are with me on this.
In the meantime, I have provided a few links to some of my earliest publications that you may have missed…
I also thought it might be appropriate to provide the link to my most shared publication to date, “The Angel Impact.” Many readers have told me that they go back to this post. And every time they read it, they think of a new angel with whom to share it.
I will be back soon with plenty of new Hands Free experiences to share with you, my loyal partners who so thoughtfully notice when I am gone.
With a grateful heart,
Rachel
It’s amazing, isn’t it, this blogging world? 🙂
Yes, Jill. It is amazing and wonderful! Maybe someday I will have the experience and insight that you so generously share with your readers! Thank you!
