Wondering where I was.... end of Feb and March?

I'm compelled to tell you guys where I was during this time. After all, this is a journal and just in case you were curious... I've been having problems with my marriage and I also had a death in my family. I guest this sounds like a downer and I understand if you guys don't want to read this but I just wanted to share my feelings and how this blog has helped me through my tough time. I started this blog not really expecting much of anything. Being married to a man that is hardly around due to his work is not a making for a happy marriage. That said, I am not a person that takes any commitment lightly, so I keep myself busy with work, pet projects and pro bono works . When I'm lonely I look through the internet to find things to blog about. As I started blogging I found a new community that was happy to see what I was interested in. I've made new friends in the internet world.

When things got bad for me personally, I felt like being a recluse and I only wanted to sleep and just speak to my sister. Then my mother-in-law passed away which flipped our personal life upside down and I was shipped out to England with no internet. I was surrounded by Grey weather and people to match the weather. I felt as though I couldn't be lower and one day I was taken to town and I was able to check my email. I got a email from one of my blogging friends as to where I was (Uncle Beefy). I felt that somehow someone in the other side of the world was looking forward to seeing my silly postings. In a little way that small gesture made me feel better. Thank you Uncle Beefy. : )

My mother-in-laws death reminded me, even the smallest thing in life that we do effects other in ways we don't realize. Even though we put it out there in the cyber world, someone give back in little ways. Thank you for checking in on my blog and I hope to inspire and bring a little fun and love to all of you.

My husband would be mortified if he knew I was writing this in my blog but I don't really care. : p

A Honorable Mention from a "Absolute" Word In Style

I am ticked pink in knowing I got mention in Anna Spiro's "Absolutely Beautiful Things" blog! She is ever so cool. and has the coolest place for decorating and designing your home. Love, love, love her!

Have a "Lazy Afternoon Chez Lisen"

LAZY AFTERNOON CHEZ LISEN is a site I was introduce via Desire to Inspire. Just thought it was nice how they used the chinese altar table and Foo dog. Another Swedish site I can't read. Hmmmm I guess I'll have to learn another language. Cool site!

Reading list from desire to inspire

it's like taking vitamins every morning, I check on: desire to inspire, absolutely beautiful things, style court, Another Shade of Grey, and Design*Sponge to start my day on my computer. It's nice to see all these sites and now due to "desire to inspire reading list" my morning routine is getting longer. It's just so great that this blog is also promoting other blogs, Thank you!
