The last two weeks I was fighting a terrible sinus infection and am just now beginning to feel somewhat normal. What is normal for me? That’s debatable, and depends on who you talk too, some I dare say, have me in the ‘she’s really different’ category. Suffice it to say, in my ‘normal’ state it’s challenging enough for me to figure out the technical side of things: in a brain fog trying to get my thoughts organized and in the direction I want to go is excruciating. In fact, I am currently reorganizing some of my menus and categories which will be my main task today. It’s been helpful to me to view other seasoned bloggers and take note how they (or you) are organizing your blog site. Better I try and do this now, and backtrack a bit, than wait til I’m 100 blogs in or more! So, please bear with me as I continue to press in.
One of the changes I am going to incorporate is to change the Menu ‘blog’ (how original, right?) and relabeled it Heart2heart, because that is very much what I am all about; connecting with others. I have a desire to share my family history, but I also have many things on my heart and in my own life that I want to get ‘out there!’ It’s something that has been stirring within me for a long time; sharing my life experiences, my spiritual journey, and in doing so encouraging others along the way.
The label Vander H. Atwell, will host stories or musings and opinions my father has written over the years as a guest columnist for various local newspapers where he has lived, and lives currently. I would like to feature some of his ‘bluegrass’ videos, and blogs relating to this aspect of his life under his label also.
Precious Memories, will be mostly about my family growing up, family history; Atwells (daddy’s side) and Ramey’s (mama’s side), and the last few years after mama and daddy moved back from California to Arkansas. I have thousands of pictures and video’s…but I have to figure out how to do this in an organized way. Pray for me…;)
Well, that’s it in a nutshell, happy blogging everyone, as I can and time will allow me, I do like to come around and read what you have to share, and I have found some great and interesting bloggers. It’s beginning to come together! I’m still trying to figure this blogging thing out, but I’m closer to my goal than I was, and for that I’m grateful. I just keep reminding myself, “You Can DO it!”
Addendum:
Just added a Love Lifted Me menu, which will feature scripture, encouragement, worship (I love to worship, and I have been and am currently a worship leader along with my husband).
Gallery was added also. I most likely will add grandparent pages to that as I go along.
Glad that you found my blogs, and now I follow here……..Always glad to find inspiration and positive blogs to read later on the Reader when I am offline. I will be checking in again soon i hope 🙂

Thank you dear Renard! That is ALL I need, a little encouragement from time to time. I am an ‘old dog’, in a new world of social media, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube (I learned how to edit somewhat around 2011), having had many channels, settled on one or two now. Once I began to my journey (before the age of 60), I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I’ve got the bug. And as far as ‘old’ dogs not learning to do new tricks…I’m still learning (though nothing like the younger crowd), and speaking of ‘old’ dogs…my father is amost 84 and he’s on Facebook! lol 🙂
