Believing Soul

This blogging community has again revealed itself as a place where we can go straight to the heart, share ourselves without make-up, designer clothes, or any of the other society wraps that usual tag us before a word comes out of our mouths. The blog allows us to read feelings, thoughts and ideas that often are not shared on a day to day base. The blogging community has many amazing avenues, like veins of life giving blood for the soul. It shows the interior life first; going from the inside-out of a person, enabling us to see the creative pulse of the spiritual being verses the exterior shell that protects it.

….and when I am fortunate to meet one of you, it seems like I have known you forever! The connection, soul to soul, made evident by our embrace and laughter. The voice of the person echos in my ears and floods me with a certainty that the Internet is a spiritual reality that transcends the physical world.

You are special and your story is worthy to tell, share yourself you have everything to gain!

Amber is a believing soul, and a rare gem!

    As I wrote on Amber’s blog, I’m so pleased that two of my favourite people got to meet in person! I love the photo of you two laughing. This blogging community certainly has its benefits, most notably wonderful friendships. Lovely post, Corey!

  5. *Sigh* What a beautiful post again Corey! I’m looking forward to the day that we can meet in person!

    So true that we can open up to each other often more in the blogging community than we could with others striped of the shell and masks. So wonderful to know you more each day. Today’s song: Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades; Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame. And the cry of my heart Is to bring You praise. FROM THE INSIDE OUT. Lord my soul cries out…

  8. Blessings and here’s a toast to sweet wonderful you.
    Embrace your bliss.
    Love Jeanne

  9. I was very happy to “find” you! I come to see you eeeeeeeeeveryday! and love these posts!
    You are right, this blog thing is a new world. I had the opportunity to meet “one of blog girls” here in France and it was amazing! the degree of confidence and sympathy for each other that we had since the beginning! I will be away for holidays so i will be not writting here for some days but having you always with me

  10. So much of our lives are lived ‘on the surface’ — to be able to communicate, share and open up our souls to each other is a special gift. The sharing that blogs create can change the way we look at people we don’t know – for each person has a soul and spirit that lives deep within them — we only have to delve to find it.

  11. I’ve never experienced anywhere else the kind of loving, supportive community I’ve found in the blogosphere. And it never ceases to amaze me.

    You say everthing so beautifully! You put into words what I have had tucked back in my mind for along time:-D) Yes, yes, yes, that is so true! What a wonderful place to be ourselves……

  13. Corey! Once again you said it so beautifully and simply, going straight to the heart of it! It was wonderful to meet you, to see your face, and hear your voice in person. It was about the only fun thing to come out of the last few weeks for me, and helped me forget that my face hurt! What a blessing. ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. how beautiful to spend the time with the blogging friends and to enjoy each other’s company on vacance!
    enjoy!

  15. As usual I find my head nodding in agreement to what you have written so beautifully. I’m just beginning to believe in the support this community extends, sight unseen, and look forward to becoming a fulling functioning member. Thanks for putting it into words.

  16. What a dream of an afternoon. The picture of the two of you on Amber’s site is is so full of happy life.

    Corey, the FABULOUS photo of you in such beautifully shared happiness on amber’s blog brings me great joy. i feel as though i’ve known you forever too. xxxooo- snowsparkle

  18. I feel this too! Love the photo of you two girls whooping it up! See these net friendships are every bit as real! xo

  19. ditto what everyone has said corey!
    this blogging community makes me think of the song, “we are family”…
    & that rocks!

  20. Yes this blog thing has certainly opened up a whole new world of friends for me and all the more real for being virtual. I agree with you that the spiritual essence comes through more easily by writing. I’m only sad to be on the other side of the world and be unlikely to have the chance to meet you face to face- but who knows – maybe one day we’ll get back to Europe on a visit and do a grand tour. Hope so!

    I used to say to my friend who blogged when I didn’t, or even know what she was talking about, that they are not your friends, youy don’t really know them, they just make it all up. But now I blog and we don’t make it all up, who would want to, this is who we are, and we are all friends, good friends. I love bloggibg and I love your blog.

  22. How wonderful that you got to meet! You have had some perfectly amazing times, Corey! I envy you!
    This community is really incredible, I couldn’t agree more. And, it’s really amazing how you can ‘know’ someone without having met them!

  23. Just beautiful when souls unite!

  24. Hi Corey,
    So true, I love my blogging connections with everyone… I can’t believe it took me so long to cotton on to it! I’ve never meet any of my wonderful blogging chums in person however as you mentioned in your posting, it offers a place to share yourself openly without the usual trappings.
    take care, grache
    (P.S. and thanks for your kind words and thoughts in your email too. It was so well timed and made me smile on a routine grey morning…)

  25. I’m absolutely in love with this blogging community. I had no idea something like this existed, or that it would be so satisfying and affirming. Each one of your posts makes me think more deeply. Even if I don’t comment it stays with me all day.

    ‘….our souls tap out messages across the icy miles.’ ( Maura Dooley).
    She said far better than I ever could.

  27. “…the Internet is a spiritual reality that transcends the physical world.”
    Yes!!!… wish that those who haven’t discovered it yet would hold their jokes and judgements until they discover the reality themselves!
    Loved the pic on Amber’s blog ๐Ÿ™‚

  28. Love your blog!

  29. Kristen Robinson

    How very true Corey. I absolutely love the idea of blogging and the glimpse it allows each of us into others lives we may not normally have found.
    My Best-
    Kristen

    what a fabulous experience! and i agree with everything you’ve said about this amazing community. i try to explain to non-bloggers what it’s like and i just can’t. there are no words…

  31. Pilgrim souls…amen.

  32. So wonderful, the people you meet and the things you learn.

    Hmmm…perhaps not such an angelic picture after all. The pink bow on the mandolin is strategically hiding certain private parts, while Madame is touching her bazungas. (From Urban Dictionary, That girl’s got some nice bazungas on her! )

    I like that statement about not put on any designer clothes. Just be heard

  35. My goodness! What charming place is this that I have stumbled onto by chance? Here am I, eating Nicoise Salad (how appropriate!)from the Willy St. Co-Op in Madison, WI, thinking that this is a wonderfilled, wonderful community that would be enchanting to explore! I’m not sure of where I am, or how I arrived here, or how to return, but I have certainly enjoyed the journey!

  36. Bonjour Corey,
    Apologies for not getting here sooner. Thank you for info on antiques and painting, will be in touch.
    The pictures here are so AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL! quite breathtaking. I feel this site is so much like another here in England, we have made a wonderful circle of friends on it, and all thanks to a most wonderful lady who lives in Scotland with her photographer husband. Some bloggers have already met each other, so too like you have here. Best Wishes to you Corey.
