The Other Side of the Dashboard

I enjoyed handing the mic to Cindy last week. She enjoyed writing her words and then reading your responses.

The last several days has seen one of those stretches where time seemed to fall from the sky with only slightly more abundance than snow in Southern California. Yet despite the chaos of our schedule, Cindy did read every comment and every email. Alas, she has not yet had the time to answer more than a few and requested one more day here to say good-bye.

Of course, my love. She’s all yours…

Keeping together is progress;
Working together is success.”

I didn’t know what Sean had in mind, but I was glad when he handed me the keyboard as I wasn’t really looking forward to my video interview… at least not yet. For the last seven months I’ve sat beside him as he’s read every post to me out loud before it went to publish.

It felt wonderful to be on the other side of the dashboard.

The virtual world is new to me. After observing it from an arm’s length over the last half year or so, I can confidently say it is teeming with life, constancy and an infinite number of possibilities and potential. I love the simple canvas that Sean has created to take day to day communication and turn it into a time capsule of who we are and how we grow at this moment in our lives.

As we look inward, and work outward in a unified direction, we create a forum woven with words in space and time to fill our life with substance and purpose. I am grateful for the inspiration, good cheer, and constructive thoughts that everyone has shared so willingly.

I mostly just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to send me their thoughts. I truly, truly appreciate them. I will answer all your wonderful comments and emails by the end of this weekend.

Cindy

    Happy to get to know y0u all a little better and know you are enjoying the best and most fun parts of the virtual world. You will weave an exciting story in the upcoming months as you and Sean venture more deeply into Blogopolis.
  • It was a pleasure to read your words, Cindy! No rush on emails/ comments - the bloggers among us are fully aware of the workload. :)
  • I just adore when happily married people write about each other. You can just FEEL the love!

    Thanks for spending the week with us. :)
  • Great posts last week, Cindy. You and Sean are truly rising stars in the blog galaxy. In addition to being gifted writers, you both are an inspiration to others in how you support and enjoy each other and in how you are raising your beautiful children, Mia and Max. Thank you for sharing your lives with us through your enlightening blog posts.
  • We had a marvellous week getting to know you, the final flower in Sean's bouquet! The virtual world is relatively new to me too, but because of the blogs and bloggers I deliberately chose to enjoy and get to know first, it's been a wonderful learning experience. You are going to be a star blogger, Cindy, in whatever projects you and Sean work on. Your heart longs to connect, empower and support and it comes across in everything you write.
