Thanks, Laura! I had a lot of fun finding the photos and love sharing especially beautiful ones ! –Lori
The pictures are always good in blog posts, but I never thought of doing one with just pictures. This is really cute. I like the ducks. I was on Val’s blog earlier and I couldn’t remember what her post was about but I remembered the candles it reminded me, burn, and then I remembered, desire and having a why. The picture helped me remember, so I wont’ forget the ducks on yours and finding some friends heading in the same direction.

Thanks Nicole – I’ve been noticing how much nicer posts look that have pictures associated with them and have been wanting to start using them. Guess I got a little carried away LOL!!! It was fun, though, which it is supposed to be
Thanks for your comments! Deeply appreciated! –Lori
Lori,
Your thinking outside the box and providing such a fun way to imagine this process will have an effect on all who read your post. You may have started a trend! Why only a 5-Coolness, why not a 10-Coolness Award? You deserve it for this enjoyable post.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so you’ve created a manuscript. I’d vote for 10-Coolness!

Thanks so much for such a creative and visual post. It definitely is a challenge to be your own boss, at least for me, so I appreciate the encouragement. Especially love the “take the high road”

What a wonderfully creative blog post and words of encouragement and motivation! I loved it!
Thanks for your comments, Steve – I am glad you enjoyed it ! –Lori
Lori you’re so creative. I bet you had fun selecting the images and stringing the storyline together! What rang true for me was the matter of being misunderstood by others in my quest to run my own show as an online entrepreneur. Nobody ever said it was an easy road, did they?

Hi Lori,
love the way you say what you want to say mainly with pictures.
Great pictures, wow. Love them. Some of them are so cute.
I like the have a rest one “to tired to run”.
Awesome way to make a point.
If a picture is worth a 1000 words then you have a lot of words here.
Thank You!
