The people of WordPress have meant so much to me this past year: so many of you…I’ve never met…but through my writing, you have seen parts of me that my “real life” friends rarely see — it makes you all very important to me, it gives us a special connection that I truly treasure.
I want to thank you all for being part of my life, for letting me in your world, for sharing thoughts, ideas, words and feelings. I also want to wish all of you a very Happy New Year — I hope it’s full of creativity, inspiration, and mainly, full of love. Because where there’s no love, there’s nothing.
❤️ See you on the other side of 2015 ❤️
Nathalie
Ps: Why Dita? Because I love her, because she’s a girl after my own heart, because those are my kind of ‘festive’ photos and because I’ll probably, somehow, end up in a giant Champagne glass myself tonight at some point — joke! (maybe) 😉

This is true. I feel more connected to the folks here than some of my own flesh and blood. Happy New Year!

I’ve got cousins and aunts and uncles (all on my mother’s side for some reason) who decided when I was 5 years-old that I was a weirdo because I always walked around with my face in a book. They thought it wasn’t normal and that it showed I was going to be a deviant type! Lol
Needless to say, my life choices since then have proved their original diagnostic right. I have nothing in common with those people and never mind the fact that I’m related to them by blood!

I was thinking the same thing today about WordPress connections. The opportunity and willingness to express yourself in real life are far less than it is with blogging. Often many thoughts only exist through our writing.

It drove Francis Ford Copolla into bankruptcy, but it was a visually stunning film, with a Tom Waits and Crystal Gale soundtrack. A very nice film for a quiet night and a bottle of Cabernet.
