One Year in the Circle of Love (online on HubPages)

Updated on January 17, 2012

HubPages My experience


I stumbled into HubPages by accident. It was a happy accident triggered off by boredom. I was there looking through Google for something interesting to do. I have always wanted to write but I had not written anything worth mentioning before, not in all my adult life, and this was a challenge in itself. For some reason HubPages appealed to me more than the others. I jumped into it thinking ’If I get past my first ten hubs, that in itself would be a great achievement’.


The awesome HubPage community


The first thing that I discovered about HubPages was its awesome community. I was fumbling my way through writing for a site online. It was a totally unfamiliar and strange place, and this community embraced me and welcomed me with such warmth that I was encouraged to pursue my interests further. Every day was a new learning process ( and still is ) and every hub was birthed in hard work. Slowly, the unfamiliar became quite familiar and the journey became more exciting with the friends I found online. I discovered something so exquisite and unique about this community – everybody here was so willing to help. Many times, they went out of their way to help me.

Sometimes, there would be a comment on one of my hubs that would leave me touched and encouraged. At other times, it would leave me with a feeling that someone is being touched by
something that I have done. This has been one incredible journey that has really helped me grow personally, put to good use my time and my talents and more than all of this, one that has helped me reach out to people. If you are not a member already join us here at Hubpages

One Year in the Circle of Love


Time flies by and it’s a year,
Since I fumbled around with fear,
I knew not what to do or say,
Or how to chalk out my way.

It seems now, like I know this place,
For I have walked its labyrinthine ways,
Learned some things the hard way here,
Friendly help was always near.

Sharing with you my every thought,
The jealousy of my spouse I bought,
He seemed to envy the attention you got,
And swore that I was truly lost.

My children peered to see my pet,
Mock the funny ideas I did get,
The bug that made me sick and fret,
On me was their every bet! (LOL)

My obsession and my waking thoughts,
Were wired around your wavy paths,
My camera, my pen was all I brought,
To every place and idea I sought!

Happy as I have always been,
I shared my smiles, my every dream,
Truly made this my sweet home,
Where I am so free to always roam!

HubPages has been my school online,
To read and write all things fine,
Friendships strong that may have been naught,
Have of my life now become a part!

Potential that I thought never existed,
Now their branches have persisted,
Expressions that are truly mine,
Now mark my every line:)

Mentors, friends and acquaintances,
Make my everyday as happy as this,
I am truly glad to have fumbled into
HubPages and to have met all of you :)

It’s time to salute the spirit of this place,
That has treated me with style and grace,
Featured my writings on their pages,
Fulfilling my dreams of all the ages.

To everyone who been a part,
Of HubPages and its forums lot,
To all of you who have supported me,
I say from my heart a real big Thank to ye:)
