Ramblings-n-Writings

Note: This post should have automatically posted on 1/5/10 but for some reason auto scheduling didn’t work. The gremlins must be at work again…sigh.

So many things happened in my personal life during 2009, and those events drew me even closer to God and relying on Him for grace, strength, and peace. People seem to think that I should be hurting and a mess after my divorce. So not true. Initially I was for the first few weeks, but I realized that God didn’t want that for me. I was to turn to Him, cast all my cares on Him, and move on. When I reached that point in late July, things slowly began to fall in place and my heart was overflowing with peace.

As I look back at how far I’ve come and how things have changed in the last six months, I know everything happened for a purpose and none of it was a

So, after a few attempts at making some background changes to my blog and it turning into a royal disaster, I think I’m back online. I’m hoping the gremlins stay away this time, and I can worry about what to write and post rather than what isn’t functioning properly.

Quite a bit has happened in the past few weeks, so I’ll post some short updates over the next few days. In the meantime, I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Meshellyn, one of my new bloggy friends at The Attitude of My Heart, tagged me for this meme. Since it’s blog party week, the answers will help you get to know me better. Enjoy!What I was doing 10 years ago: I was finishing up my senior year in college. I was working about 10-15 hours a week at the University switchboard, taking about 15 credit hours in classes, working with the English authors at BJPress about 16 hours a week as part of my internship, and trying to figure out what to do after college. Wow! That makes me tired just reading all of that! 5 Things on my To Do List today:1) Two hours of tutoring. 2) Discuss and plan with my DH our new house location. 3) Do a load or two of laundry. 4) Remember our 2:30 appt with the SSI lady from Social Security (pointless conversation b/c I know we aren’t

I know I have some regular bloggy friends stopping by and wanted to point you in the direction of the Ultimate Blog Party 2008. The party is for women bloggers and the Mr Linky has 1,210 blogs listed!!! Yep, you read that right – 1,210 blogs in Mr. Linky.

I’m not sure how to go about looking at them all but I took a little time today to visit a few of those who visited me. Wow! I came across some great sites – a fellow NaNoWriMo participants, a professional photographer who also shares her grandmother’s diary and more! I can’t wait to visit some other sites but for now some housecleaning is calling my name…Sigh.

And if you get caught up in visiting others at the party, don’t forget to stop back here! Click here to read my party post if you haven’t already.

It’s Friday again and a new week of Know & Tell hosted by To Know Him. Here’s this week’s questions…

Question 1: I have been blogging for a year this month, so my question is what made you start your blog? I originally started blogging because I have friends in various states who were interested in pictures and tidbits from our lives. Then I discovered my niche and began focusing on conglomerate of writing, frugality and organic living.Question 2: Do you speak another language? If so, why or how did you learn it? In elementary school, a teacher offered after-school German classes and in college I took four semesters of German; however, I know I couldn’t carry a conversation now! I wish I would have kept it up because I would love to try translation work. I chose German because I liked the language better than Spanish. I thought Spanish was too easy to learn.
