hello
just lately, i’ve been wondering how much i share and how distant i should be (in terms of avoiding the specific). i found out my brother & sister in law have been reading my blog, but hadn’t said a word and that made me feel kind of odd. this week, i’ve shared only a recipe on my food blog and spent the rest of the time pretty much avoiding it all… i watched the last of your warrior classes last night though, & i know that in some form or another i want to stay online.
your blog is a constant inspiration for me ~ thank you.

I blog for me. It is my art journal, story book, photo album, and networking tool. No theme, no plan, no structure. I have met so many lovely friends thru my blog. I am very open, random and free. I love my blog. and the bonus is that so many others enjoy it also! Blogging has opened up a new venue for like minded mermaids to swim in the same waters! ~ wink~

I most definitely include the everyday moments in my blog – maybe even too many every day moments!

I’m beginning to realize that my blog is like a self portrait, or a journal that lets me keep track of my creative growth. And connectiing with other bloggers makes me feel like our world is much friendlier and more personal.

I keep thinking about having daily themes, but as time goes on I realize that the daily theme thing just isn’t for me right now (but maybe it will be somewhere down the line)! So much of what I share in my blog is just a release of creative energy – I’m pretty sure it’s more for my benefit, though having readers is always an added bonus.

And you are so right….we all sure do have a lot more in common than we think!

Have a wonderful Tuesday, Mermaid Friend!

I tend to blog the way I talk. If I think it, it comes out my mouth or keyboard. lol But I love blogs that do that. Some days I don’t want to read anything profound. I just want to see the ordinary that happened in someone else’s life and it somehow makes me appreciate the ordinary in my own just a little bit more.

I get to do an art journal party with kids at a Survivor Art Festival!!! I’m so excited. I knew it was important for me to take your class but wasn’t sure how I was going to utilize it and then the Universe said, “here, do this with it!” Thank you, thank you, thank you McCabe!

The everyday stuff is our real lives, and as much as I want to be profound… well… today I wrote about pie.

I love this! For me, I am finding the deeper I go within myself…the less I have to say…which is strange because I feel more open. Does that make any sense at all?

girlfriend, if i waited to post when i only had something profound to say, all you would hear over at my blog would be the sound of silence and the occasional crickets chirping… it would be a ghost town.

YES. I think there is somewhat of a Collective Consciousness going on in this blogging world. It’s pretty amazing, when you get right down to it. It seems lots of people are experiencing much of the same thing.

Anyway, I understand how it is to question where you’re going and who you are and what this whole blogging thing is for. But, I suppose the end of the path is to share yourself, to immerse yourself in your own humanity, and hope that you can make that connection, that magic spark that ignites someone else to live with more freedom, happiness, and with more truth.

Your truth is powerful, and I am glad and grateful for that. Thanks for the inspiration, and for the look into the beauty that is your life. I hope to take some of that with me into mine! xo

like most, i think it’s best to write unedited. Say what you feel that moment, that day and don’t think twice. when i have tried to perfect a post or keep it focused on what issue, it is never as good as one where i just say what i feel and go with it. people who read your blog do it because of all the wonderful, uplifting, silly, joyful and random things that are shared. i know it’s hard not to, but don’t think too hard about it. just write…and post a pic or two, love those!
