When I started blogging in 2007, I did it for fun. My first few months were filled with posts on silly stories regarding my Kidlet, celebrity mishaps (that was the same time that Britney Spears was having her meltdown and willingly lost all of her hair), my "not so detailed" stories of being newly divorced and living in Arizona and I would also feed off of my friends blogs for content.
After several months of being bored with those topics, I began to write a bit about me. I wrote about friendships, past loves, my family, etc. I learned quickly that if you wanted to blast someone on a public blog that you better be ready to get a phone call or two and be able to defend yourself. That was a lesson that I learned in, "if you want to blog, be ready for people to read it and when they do, they tell others and it will ALWAYS get back to your mother". Yes, it happened.
I still thought that I had some life experiences that I could share. I would change names to protect the innocent or unknowing. I still had fun with the blog as ex hubs and I have managed to produce one of the most comical children in the world. She fed me lots of topics but occasionally if I had a problem or felt like I wanted to share, I could and I did. Not so long later, I had a nice base of followers. Some of which have become very good friends. These people became a solid support for me and not all of them agreed with my topics or my opinion but they were open and honest and they kept coming back for more.
So, here it is ... These are the happy, sad, funny, emotional, proud thoughts that are running through my head. I am not a writer. I write like I think, very fast. I will not ever say anything on this blog to harm or embarrass my Kidlet, my mother, family, friends, acquaintances or even the cashier at the gas station. This blog is for me.
That is why.

As well it should be for YOU. There's something I've always known (in reality we ALL know it, but usually make excuses for not applying it)...simply put, don't judge how others deal with struggles in their lives. And while we KNOW this, people still feel the 'need' to question us, give unsolicited opinions and yes...judge.
These last couple years have drilled something in my brain and heart...Before you judge another, be overly diligent in reviewing yourself.
I'm so proud of you for taking care of you and Miss Kidlet. You are phenomenal. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...:).
Thank you TLP. Your comment made me smile and I needed that today.
I'm so glad that you are doing this. Consider me a devoted reader!!!
There you have it!
LOL...I loved the Vox days!
If it wasn't for Vox
- we would never have met
- we would never have kept the wine industry afloat
- and "tinkerbell" would be just an ordinary name
C'mon! The cashier at the gas station is always good for a few laughs. hee hee. I'll wait until your blog evolves to remind you of this..
I have to say, I love the anonymity of blogging, even though you do end up making friends from far away. I give you props for putting the link on your Facebook page. I want to start blogging again, but we'll see. It's quicker to type than write.

Peachy, you know that I find entertainment most anywhere that I go :) It is so good to hear from you. Get your blog going lady, I love your stories.
Natural herbs have cured so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of Herpes, HPV HIV/AIDS & STDs, Diabetics , Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, Arthritis, Chronic pains. etc. by herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past years but Dr Chike cured me with his natural herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know it is hard to believe but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying natural herbs. Contact Dr on Whats-App . +233502715551. text/call via: +1 (719) 629 0982 , or you can also contact through his Facebook Page @ Dr Chike Herbal Remedy.
