  I was so happy to be blogging about my anniversary this morning that I forgot all about the other special event of today! A year ago, right here in Taos, I started my blog! I moved over here to Blogger in September, so there's a bit of a split in time. And I swore that I would finish transfering over the archive before this day came, but time does what it will. I can't say how grateful I am for this little social development called blogging. One friend shared with me recently how blogging changed her life. She said she never would have had the courage to leave her abuser husband if it weren't for blogging and she probably would have been so desperate and alone that she would have committed suicide.
I'm fortunate to not be facing such dire living conditions, but I will say that the isolation of being a modern work-at-home mom makes Feminest Mistique look like a nursery rhyme. If I watch one more soap opera or talk show to fill that desperate void, I think I'll scream! Aside from rescuing my sanity, blogging has done wonders for my writing. I think it clears the pipes. Like drano, only not all toxic. Like a coat hanger. Since beginning my blog(s), my writing in every genre has prolifferated. I feel so fluid with my thought-to-keyboard connection. I have to go before I can fully appreciate this day, but know how happy I am for today!
