The person behind the blog

September 2021

Hi. I’m making my way back to blogging .. or trying. I need to write an update here but for now let me say that some things have changed and some things remain the same. My followers consisted of mostly Christians but I had followers who were atheist and followers of other religions. It made no difference to me as I find value in humanity and what we put forth as individuals for a better world and society. I need to say after 50+ years as a Christian I have dropped my faith belief/s and now call myself a humanist as I identify as an atheist. No sighs. No boos. It’s all good. Just want to put that out there bc it will be one of my topics I blog about. As always..wishing you much health and happiness and .. Happy Gardening!

Update 2017

I find it more difficult to blog lately-not for lack of inspiration but for lack of the type of information I want to share. In the 7 years I have maintained this blog-my main blog, I’ve ventured off in several directions not quite able to quench the thirst that drives me. There has been one constant and that was to give my best as I try to add a positive outlook in the blog community even if no one reads my posts. I felt like I had something to offer but not so much lately.

I miss the camaraderie with like-minded or similar thinking individuals and keeping up with others but I had to step away-I was too invested and I had to concentrate on my personal life. In this time away, I have spent a good deal of it in personal reflection. I have made many changes in my life. One of them was to rid myself of so much of the past that has been holding me down-material items that carried much weight with so many memories. I’m still not where I want to be but I doubt I ever will.

It is my opinion that we should never be too comfortable with ourselves. We should continue to push boundaries and learn new things. When we become complacent and believe we have learned everything that we need to know, that’s when we are really missing out. I’m not sure where I will go with this blog but I will continue with it for as long as I can maintain it. I still have things I want to share with others but not everyone will be happy with what I have to say. Since when has that stopped me? 😀

I will leave the rest of my About Page mainly because I’m not sure what I want to change.

Last little thing:  There is so much ‘awfulness’ in the world today and I hope that we can see to concentrate as much as we can on the good in people and what holds us together as part of humanity-the really good parts. When we focus on the bad, bad is what we will see. So let’s be good to each other. 🙂

Who am I and why do I blog?

There is no one descriptor that I can use to describe myself though my perceptions and views define who I am. I do not fit into a neat little box, round hole, or definitive classification. In fact, I think when we categorize people in this manner we shortchange them refusing to hear what they have to say before passing judgment. I have had to overcome many obstacles in life and am still struggling with some. I do not take “NO” for an answer and am a problem solver by nature. My experiences have shaped who I am and how I see life. They have made me more aware of my surroundings and I appreciate life more because of them.

How I still see myself but this was taken many years ago.

A few years back

I have a background in psychology, education, philosophy, mathematics, computers, business, Biblical studies, and more. I have a variety of artistic talents and have been able to do almost anything I set my mind to. I also have a physical handicap that I never liked to discuss because I did not want it to be seen. I am truly blessed. I have taught school, managed restaurants, served as a caregiver to family members, have been a Sunday school teacher, a mother, a volunteer for Girl Scouts and other groups. Each opportunity has impacted me tremendously giving me insight for the next job ahead. I bring things to the table that are sometimes not considered but the biggest attribute I have is my heart. I have an enormous amount of compassion coupled with empathy for others. I care so much for others and this is the true reason I blog.

Garden2day is a blog name I came up with because I am a gardener of many things and want people to see that healthy seed can render incredible fruits in everything we do whether it is gardening, sewing or quilting, writing, teaching, etc.

So what is growing in your garden2day? I hope it is something WONDERFUL!
