Ethics of strangers

Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people. --Bill Moyers 


This was the thought for the day when I opened my mailbox 5 minutes ago. 
What a coincidence that it should arrive for me today when I had just committed a blogging faux pas.

I had forgotten to ask a fellow blogger's approval before I used her photo in my last blogpost.
 I quickly sent an email to ask her permission and I was so happy that within a couple of hours Solveig had written back saying she was happy to be included.  What relief - I would have been so sad to remove her gorgeous label bag.

Now I am wondering how many strangers are reading this post of mine ...
and how much I would like to connect with everyone who drops by here. 

Thanks so much for being here at this moment 
and hope our paths will cross -
 if you drop me a comment,
 then we will connect more easily :)

But just being here is great too. 
Thanks for joining me on this journey.

  3. Absolutely...isn't that why we blog? To build connections? Haven't been by in a while (such is the busy life of summer), but it's nice to drop in again as I work my way through the dark hours of a sleepless night!

  7. Hi! Just came here through Astrid's post on RedRedCompletelyRed (love her!). Just wanted to say hi as one of those strangers who read this post, and I agree with this idea of connection.
