@your comment on my blog- Hahaha. I wasn’t sure myself when I first read it on Daily Post. Well, i’d say do what you can do. What suits best for you. =)
@your blog- I like your blog! =D ^_^
Just wanted to say hi. Followed your link from my site and had a quick see at you All About Enlightenment blog. Gonna have me a better look during some quiet time.
Thought it was interesting you went to Georgia Tech alumn too. I was there from 2003-2004
wow, that’s cool! thank you! took me a minute to find your about page… looking forward to learning more :)
Hello again Leslee,
I see we may be blogging at the same time. And you have been kind enough to allow me to link to you at “All About Enlightenment”. Thank you.
I only now realized that you write from two blogs. May I link to this one as well? Your inspiration has been wonderful for me and I find both of your works to be one in my mind. May I share both please?
Thank you. :)

Haha, yes I think you’re right, it’s like a funny kind of chat! Thank you so much for the linking!
Thank you!!! what an amazing blog, i have so much to soak up!!!Happy u liked the line. Thanks again.
Oh, and thank you, too! That line of your captures so much that we often don’t want to say aloud, and using the acronyms is a very clever way of nudging it into the consciousness ;)
Hello Leslee,
Papa Joe here. I’m new to blogging but found you while following a comment trail starting with a tag search on “Inspiration”. And you do sound inspirational. :)
I’m here because of Random Acts of Kindness Week. A blogging buddy, Classy Rose has suggested going out to meet at least two new bloggers each day this week. And I’m happy to meet you. I always love meeting new friends.
If you’re interested in Rose’s RandomBlog2011 challenge, she’s posted on it at …

Nice meeting you Leslee!

thank you for visiting art rat cafe and ‘liking’ Face, I appreciate your support. When this seasonal madness is over I will be back to explore your site in more depth.
Thanks so much, John! I love connecting with other artists, and your work has a very “familiar” feel to me. Enjoy the seasonal madness! Cheers!
wow..a nun for four and half years. I bet that was quite and experience. I am interested to read about your ideas on Buddhism…so will check it out.
:D
Thank you again!
I should add… becoming a nun was the only way I could figure out how to make sense of where some of my decisions had led me… We have a lot in common, even though the details differ :)
Your blog is awesome!
Wow, thank you, Puneesh! I look forward to some fun exchanges – I love the way you craft everything about yours :D
I love your bio, I think that is so nice that you were a nun at one time and then realized there is so much more to life then that…..be coming buddhist. I applaud you!
You are defintely an amazing soul having one beautiful human experience. \
My blessings to you my friend,
Tara

Very nice to “meet” you! You’ve got a lovely blog here (and such a great eye!) Always such a pleasure to come upon a slice of nice online. Thank you!
