Blogging For Love

I believe I told you how I started to write a blog, but if you don't 

know, here is the story.  I started reading blogs a few years before I

began my own.  My Daddy was suffering the ravages of Alzheimer's

and I worried about him constantly and as a consequence, I developed

insomnia.  It was durning one of those wee hours of the morning that I 

discovered cottage style blogs.  The charm of those blogs and the 

contentment I felt reading them carried me through those long nights.

It was back in the day when blogs were friendlier and not so 

commercial.  Such a nice group of women who allowed the reader

to see glimpses of their homes and their lives.  It was mostly

cheerful and upbeat.  It was a world where we all could dream

for a bit and feel safe.  It was like home.

I joined the world of blogging because I wanted to be like those women.

I wanted to spread some cheer too.  Although the platform of blogging has 

become much more driven and commercial, I like to think that there is

still a place for cottage style blogs and their homey message.  

At least I hope this is so.

When I welcome you into my home, my world, with each blog post,

I am also welcoming you into my heart.

So I hope that when you come to visit me, you leave feeling 

happy, because I blog from a place of love.

The world can be an unsettling place sometimes.  I strive to find the 

goodness and sweep away the bad.  While we cannot bury our heads in 

the sand all the time, we can raise our heads up to see the sun.

I have another talented miniaturist to share with you on my 

mini blog today.  If you would like to see some adorable
