As an Old Timer who was dragged into the 21st Century by the G-Kids and introduced to the World of Blog I found that I broke many apparent cardinal Blog 'Rules' by 'going long' and having my Blog be True to Self... because it's as I AM. I was surprised to see how many embraced that novelty of the newsy Blog where it was an actual Conversation just put out there in the Blogasphere. I wanted folks who did choose to come to feel as though we were there, face to face and personal, rather than it being superficial. Mostly because the Blog began just for me as a Personal Journal and Journey since nobody writes letters anymore and so I found myself with a void since I had always been an avid letter writer to those who moved away and I wanted to keep in touch with regularly. I find obligatory contact to be pointless, but meaningful conversation and the ability to communicate is something I truly Hope and Pray never completely dies out.<br /><br />Loving your Blog and glad I discovered it this Evening. I have a Love Affair with Herbs and have a small Herb Garden, but am certainly no expert, but wish to Learn more.<br /><br />Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn...

Strangely, the hurricane brought people together in an incredible way, because we had to work harder to communicate. We had to listed to each other. I am hopeful that this essential human need - to be heard and to HEAR - will always be a part of us. Thank you for your blog. You always inspire me! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869115435245845190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219968.post-24487526872437242812012-12-28T12:51:49.147-08:002012-12-28T12:51:49.147-08:00That would be great - and of course we're alwa...That would be great - and of course we're always looking for content, too. That's a good way to advertise as well. I have a vague recollection (especially because of the way you spell your name). It has been a while!

Everything I do online now is done under my pen name but I once contributed a recipe here years ago under my real name of Roxann. I think I've been on a sabbatical of sorts, getting my life together, getting my purpose aligned, etc. I never quit my interest and love for nature and herbalism but I just dropped out of conversations. Finding your blog was like running into an old friend! I've recently begun reorganizing my herbal business and will be contacting you for advertising in the near future :)Madison Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343664256084936967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219968.post-74627224618958347792012-12-26T22:00:42.681-08:002012-12-26T22:00:42.681-08:00Very well said.Very well said.Rachaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219968.post-596176106462007222012-12-26T19:04:13.150-08:002012-12-26T19:04:13.150-08:00I remember back before Yahoo groups there were &qu...I remember back before Yahoo groups there were "Bulletin Boards" and "Fidonet Echo Mail"... where you could type screensful...and send the messages out...and system operators would carry them across country, and around the world...to friends you'd not met yet. Long thoughtful conversations. Sometimes one liners and humor, and sometimes trolls who wanted only to cause trouble. But friendships were made back then that still exist today. And many of us agree, we miss the "echoes"...none of the other, quicker forms of communication seem to have matched them. And Twitter just seems inane. Of course, I've never been known for brevity! ;)<br />Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673509267085990921noreply@blogger.com
