This week’s Monday Mojo kind of stumped me.  Well, stumped is the wrong word.  It actually overwhelmed me. The prompt was this: Who inspires you to be a better blogger? Has there been someone who’s mentored you and helped you become the blogger you are today? Is there a website out there that you strive [...]

This week Monday Mojo asks – Tell us your Blog’s story!  What made you start blogging? Why did you decide to open up a slice of cyberspace and put your name on it?  Tell us what your purpose was back then – is it the same today or have you changed focus? Many blogs have [...]

My cohort Cheryl did a fun little post today so I’m stealing her idea.   She wrote:   There’s a little thing going around on Facebook. Go check Josh Hosler’s site and find out what the number 1 song was on the day you were born.   So I did, and it was THIS.  Too [...]

I wrote a quick post a while ago about my new venture – I thought I’d elaborate a bit and let you know how you can be a part of it and yes, I really and truly want you to join me on this.  More on that in a sec. I’ve been blogging for a [...]
