I can't believe how long it has been since I checked into my blog. It is so easy to let the months roll by since time is a limited commodity. I find myself stretched thin during the school year as a homeschool mom even with only one child left under my tutelage. Since the computer can easily distract me from my top priorities, so I try to relegate blogging to the bottom of the to-do list.
Today, however, I'm back to recommit to the "Blog Blitz 2.0."
In March 2013 DL Hammons started the blog blitz as "a tool for focusing blogosphere energy for fun" and encouraging bloggers. It is fun. It's a simple way to meet other bloggers, to expose oneself to new blogs, and to be part of that positive blogosphere energy.
I haven't been blitzed yet, and honestly, I hope I am not anytime soon, because I am not spending the time on my blog that I would like to at the moment, so I don't really deserve or desire a blitz. However I like to hop aboard the blitz of others whenever I can, keeping my hand and head in the blogosphere a little bit. Though I can't do it every time, it is a little pleasure for me to be a blessing to a fellow blogger in this small way when I can.
I
do hope when I am more regularly blogging to one day wake up and have
some extra visitors who might like what they see but for now, I'll be a
blitzer. If you are a blogger or if you aren't, this is a fun and worthwhile blog hop to be a part of. So hop on over to DL Hammons blog and sign on to the blog blitz 2.0. You'll be glad you did.
Have a delight filled day! God bless, Maria
Whew! I can't believe it's been already 15 days since the April A to Z challenge ended. I joined the A to Z road trip, visiting those A to Z blogs and posts I didn't get a chance to visit during April.
No rules, just ride through as many and as often as you can. It's a lot of fun, and you can sign up by adding your name to the linky here. I have been going at a slow pace because, alas, as soon as I signed up, I got sick. I'm still recovering, but have enough in me to at least invite you all along for the ride. If you didn't participate in the challenge this year, check out the challenge website to see the ongoing story of the challenge as posts continue. You may be intrigued enough to consider it next time around in April 2015.
At the top of the website, you can find the links for those who signed up for the challenge or for the those who wrote reflections on the challenge. The link for the road trip was not at the top of the website at the time of this posting, but I hope they add that as well since this is the fourth annual road trip, after all.
I've already discovered some great blogs while on the road trip, traveling through various reflections on the challenge. One was the website of The Slightly Eccentric Diary of Rob Z Tobor. His reflection was a parody of Jack in the Beanstalk that he titled Fee Fi Fo Fum. It's a hoot. Check it out here.
There are lots of wonderful blogs in the blogosphere, no doubt. There are also a plethora of writing challenges, parties, linkys, etc. It can take over your life. The A to Z challenge is a place to expose oneself to a wide assortment of different writers, styles, topics, people from all over the world, and yet, as more than one member of this diverse group has put it, still feel a sense of community. It's quite incredible really. I'm very glad someone invited me to check it out and join in. Now I am inviting you.
God bless, Maria
