Lessons Learned

Rachel’s blog Lessons Learned is a delightful mixture of humor and profound thoughts. Her mission is to expand her awareness of the world by recording the lessons learned from her daily life. Her uncanny ability to take a simple act and see the beauty that lies within is nothing short of brilliant. In her beautifully written post of October 17, 2007, How Autumn Comes (to Me)… she writes “But come August, weeks after the Solstice, the velvet lifts, the blue grows thin, perhaps transparent. It pales to a weaker, whiter blue, like cerulean. The soft velvety thickness of the color is gone, replaced by a thin gauze: wispy and fluttering in the breeze–the blushing veil of Winter’s Bride…” Congratulations Rachel! You have written The Rising Blogger’s Post of the Day!

1 Rachel October 23, 2007 at 4:10 pm: Wow. I don’t know what to say. I’m both flattered and humbled to be nominated for this, not to mention, completely floored. My blog, like most journals, is simply meant to share my thoughts on what I’ve experienced and learned about my life and myself. To think that other people would find any meaning in what I say is enormously gratifying.

Thanks to Judd for including me in such august company. I spent most of today reading some of the blogs listed here, and I’m so glad to have found a wonderful resource of profound writers and thinkers.

Thanks Judd, and whomever nominated me, thanks!
