Yesterday took a tough turn. I hit a bump I know exists but usually avoid. But my e-course homework had me placing my step stool next to that inevitable bump cum mountain. I stepped up, took a look, agreed it was the same mountain I have assumed I can not climb, stepped down and walked…
The world of blogging is integrally tied into the “social media thing”. I started my blog as a dare to myself and then found out my deeper fear. Every social platform I went to join, people were friending and following. What the heck did it mean? What did this really mean? What did they want…
After blogging for over a year, I took a recent opportunity to take part in an e-course called Blogging Your Way. Led by established blogger, teacher, designer, and public speaker Holly Becker of Decor8, I felt privileged to learn from her. The course and the timing were right. The fact that I’m blogging at all…
Seems it’s understood. As a blogger, I am supposed to be a social networking pro, right? One computer skill begets another. If I’m talking, this must mean I’m social media adept. Fact is, I am rotten lousy at this realm of social. Ironic since I was a media major. 20 years ago, I knew something…
As promised on my facebook intro to my very serious last post, this next one is all about butterflies and cupcakes. Ironically, while waiting for the bus this morning in the driveway, a monarch butterfly mistook Eamon for a flower and scared him. I laughed really hard. Vintage fashion brooch butterflies.

We had a “meeting” set up for 10am. And we met. Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Alberta or Ramona or Jill. But what we really did was to sit in that coffee shop and tell our stories. Each of us has one or two thousand of these. Tales of our locations or our health…
When I began my blog, I was not really a blog follower. I didn’t know, and to a certain extent still don’t know, what kind of blog I will end up being. No big Big picture but I’m working on it. I have many interests. I love to write and ponder and I love decorating…
This moment is the first one I can claim as being alone at home this summer. Sure the husband and I enjoyed a needed break last Friday when the boy went to Grammy and Pop Pop’s. We watched a movie before 9pm. Usually that’s post book-reading and saying goodnight time. Decadent. The movie was kinda…
My dear and near people understand the irony of my endeavor here on this contraption. I swore off computers. I was exasperated by their promissory ease being ruined by their complicated actuality. And then a year ago, I started a blog. Everyone was impressed. My terror of screwing up was most impressive as well. I…
My head has been near explosion point since this past Tuesday. Not that I wasn’t already confused. No, it wasn’t Valentines Day or my kid that put me in this state, although my kid took some of my sanity that day. It was the blogging seminar I attended. I have been in this blog creation…
