Erin, from Reading My Tea Leaves, is a wonderful writer and photographer, and I was pleasantly surprised when I found an email from her in my inbox this morning letting me know she was posting this little picture I sent her, from the neighborhood where I live:
Blogging is proving to be more difficult than I had expected - there is so much out there already..! I want to post so many things, and then I get lost in all of the beautiful images and words others are posting. So, editing is certainly more overwhelming than I thought it would be.
I also find that I am having a little bit of a hard time navigating the two worlds that blogging encompasses. Interestingly (and somewhat uncomfortably for me), blogging is a private endeavor that really does not take its first breath until it steps into the public domain; it's a sort of communal journal writing that depends on others to continue to develop. I don't think I anticipated how strange a space that would be for me.
In that spirit, then, I wanted to take a moment to thank Erin for helping me take one of the many steps toward achieving this elusive balance between the privacy from which I type these words and the web of people that might read them... In essence, thank you, Erin, for inviting me into your community.

Maria, I just found your blog today via I can't remember! She posted several links and this one just grabbed me. I love the way you express yourself. Your house is beautiful and inspires me to get started on my own house. When we moved in we decided to wait a year before doing anything and in that year I've discovered the wonderful world of interior design blogs. Thank you for sharing your journey. I can't wait for your next post and I can't wait to get started on my own house!
