It was great to see so many people come out and it was a lovely surprise to meet for the first time fellow blogger Hilary from Positive letters, Inspirational Stories We have been connecting online through our blogs and it was great to meet her in person. I have really enjoyed her blog and it is also very informative.
The relationships that can develop from connecting on line is something quite special, and my journey as a blogger has been made richer by the many friendships I have been able to make.

challenge, it's not everyone whose blog starts with the letter R, but a
few of them for you to start with....
How lovely to meet Hilary she is a very down to earth lady, I haven.t met her but have read her post for some time.
ReplyDeleteI have however met Arlee Bird when in LA last year,
Your blog is very good and look forward to visiting each day,
Yvonne.
It was a lovely evening, and great to meet a fellow blogger as well. I too have been enjoying Hilary's posts! Many thanks for stopping by.

Visiting from AtoZ
Rhonda, yes I took the photo with my phone, appreciate the visit, enjoyed coming to your site.
DeleteThis is the first post about Relationship I've seen on this R day. Great post and I love that painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you Talya for stopping by.
DeleteWhat a great service you are performing Amanda. I love the vibrancy of your painting. I have a real visceral response to colour, whenever I see a bunch of coloured balloons together, I want to bite them! Thanks for the mention. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteRossandra, bless you, I too just love colour and being able to play with the paints and other mediums, especially in a journal is the cherry on the cake:)
DeleteThank you so much for the blog love, and for stopping by! I love art and yours is beautiful. It is so nice to meet you! :)
ReplyDeleteYour art is very beautiful, Amanda! I love this painting.

Hi Amanda, thanks for the mention today! Love the relationship post and how exciting to be exhibiting your work. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is so beautiful! Relations are very important too.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I haven't been here in a while. Your art is still impressive. glad you're meeting new people too, and Hilary seems to be a good friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda - it was a fortuitous meeting wasn't it - I thought your Art and Healing Exhibition would be on a different day - but it so tied in with my decision to be in London to visit a few exhibitions, I couldn't help but want to take advantage of the opportunity of meeting up.
ReplyDeleteWe just got on straight away .. it seemed almost odd to start asking each other questions ... as we sort of knew who we were - more obviously so as our mothers have suffered/ are suffering elderly illness.
I'm sure we'll stay in touch and meet up more often, when I can get up to London ... or you and the family can get down here.
The art works on display in the street gallery of University College Hospital (where my mother was first admitted after her strokes) were of very high quality - and I'm sure you made some very valuable new contacts in the Art4Therapy world ...
Relationships are so important - especially when a relation is ill ... as we need to give them the best possible, regardless of their situation ... and I know you are doing your utmost for your mother ..
Hope to see you very soon ... big hugs - Hilary
