Reaching For The Top

Posted on June 6, 2012 by russtowne

I’d like to introduce you to a very special 16 year old girl and her blog, and I’m doing so via re-blogging this small post with a big message from her blog. I find Sheila’s posts refreshing and encouraging. I enjoy getting to experience glimpses of the world from a young person’s perspective.

Oh my Russ! I found Sheila Marie’s blog when I first started out blogging and right from the start this young girl blew me away with her sweet spirit and love for life. I nominated her when I got my first Award and said that all young people should be like her! I’m glad you found her space too! Much love to you Sheila Marie! Sharon

I agree, Sharon. “sweet spirit and love for life”: What a wonderful phrase! I believe it is an apt description for what and how both you and Sheila are..I love surrounding myself with sweet spirits and life-lovers, so you both are likely to get many more visits to your blogs from me. I want to immerse myself and revel in your kindness and views of the world.

Russ
