When I penned the first post on this topic a month ago, I did not think or suspect that it might turn into an ongoing series. I guess when you're in survival mode, it's hard to see that one day, all these new processes that seem difficult or unusual or unintuitive will one day become … Continue reading What I Learnt When I Moved From Blogger to WP – Part 2 #Bloggingtips
One month ago I made the decision to move from Blogger to WordPress. In some ways it was a spontaneous, reactionary move after losing my third post in as many months, thanks to changes being rolled out in the editing area. But in other ways, it was a long thought about, much mulled over decision. … Continue reading What I learnt when I moved from Blogger to WordPress #bloggingtips

Some days the word won't flow. I have several posts half-written, but over the past few days I haven't been able to find the inspiration or energy to complete any of them.

Up until now I've had a lovely time, free-reading as the time and mood takes me. Which is actually how I read most of … Continue reading Stories & Shout Outs #18

It has occurred to me that my recent blogging/reading malaise was actually part of a bigger problem. It slowly dawned on me that my life had got out of whack. A growing disconnect existed between what I thought, what I felt and my actions.At the beginning of the year I took some time to reflect … Continue reading Bookish Personality Tag

It has been quite some time since I wrote a housekeeping post and I feel the need, the need to read...and to chat about it some. During the week Melissa @Avid Reader Musings put me onto a new book app called Litsy. I know, I know! We all need a new app like a hole in the … Continue reading Stories & Shout Outs #9
