Why do you blog?

I blog because it keeps me writing so I don’t get writers block. I have been blogging since 2005 when I first began. I find the outlet of writing very satisfying & blogging is that as well. I don’t feel that blogging is posting crap on Instagram or TikTok it’s about using words not videos.

By writing constantly you get more practice & your

writing becomes better. I have a journal with actual paper that I write in during the week. This has become a passion project & way for me to write both personal & observational & is extremely important to me.

By using my blog I can reach more people. That’s why I don’t always write in the blog because I have other places that I write. My blog is my side space that I’m very proud of. In 2005 when I first began I’d write my blog in Word & then transfer it to my blog. I’d ramble about my life in my thirties & being single.

Why do you write?

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

Everyday I eat veggies & grains & only have 2 cups of coffee! I try to avoid processed foods & sweets unless it’s the weekend. I can’t remember the last time I had alcohol, maybe during Eurovision in the Spring?

I get up early in the morning & intermittently fast before I have breakfast, unless I’m volunteering then I have my breakfast in the morning. I’ve been eating berries & yogurt & oats for a decade now.

Since it’s finally Fall in the air I can begin my walk up the local mountain once a week. Something I look forward to every year. Just gotta wait until the cruise ships stop coming!

I’m grateful for my dog who gets me out of the house everyday. What’s your routine?

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

I discovered that somebody had found some old but very disparaging sound files that I had made when I had a mental breakdown over a decade ago.

It has since been removed, pretty quickly as I realized that someone had done that to hurt my reputation both as a job seeker & a writer.

I know there’s nothing else out there they can use against me in the future. Those old sound files were it! I feel like the internet has become a place of malice & cruelty rather than doing something for the greater good. It’s really sad how much the internet has changed since I started blogging in early 2005!

Now, I feel that I can look for work without being sabotaged online. I don’t believe in revenge Just Karma, what you sow comes back. Always.
