A Contest

I wrote my "Where I’m From" poem yesterday and this morning I discovered that there is a whole contest going on about this poem!  Cool.  Write your own "Where I’m From" poem, enter it and see if you win.  And make sure you say I sent you!

Say Anything

I have noticed that many bloggers have their entries go without comments.  What’s up with that?  Everyone likes to be validated and in this medium, getting a comment on your blog is the only way to do so.  I have gone for days and days not even having one comment. I feel like I should be tapping the microphone saying, "Is thing on?"   

I am just as guilty as anyone of drive-by blog reading: reading and enjoying but not commenting. So what prevents us from commenting?  For me, it can be a matter of time. I enjoy reading my friends’ blogs with a cup of hot chai in the morning.  But all too soon, the demands of the day are calling me and I have to get off the computer.  But really, how long does it take to type, "what a great idea," "good luck," or "great pictures!"  Sometimes, though, someone has written something that is truly thought provoking and I’d like to comment, but need some time to formulate my thoughts.  In these cases, maybe it would be nice to write, "Very thought provoking.  I’ll comment again when I have given it more thought."  So I have decided to try and leave a comment on any entry I read.  I challenge you to do the same!  Just let someone know you were there and enjoyed what they wrote.  Offer a note of encouragement, tell them they made you laugh or just thank them for sharing their insight.  Just say anything!  (And start with me!)

A Journey in Blogging

Ok, so I’m a blogger. Who knew? I’m a homeschooling mother of 4, the oldest 2 are my current students. We’re a military family, right now serving in our nation’s capital. We’ve been here since September and prior to this we were in Korea. It’s lunch time now and dh is home, so I’ll be back later…
