Thinking about the upcoming Orble Con reminded me of the challenges of blogging.....finding your "voice." Remember the first time you saw yourself on camera? There can sometimes be a disconnect between what we think of ourselves and how we are seen by others. Bloggers have a computer between themselves and their readers. Because we are "hidden", it’s easy to give in to the temptation to create a character that we aspire to be. But is that the real you? I have noticed that some bloggers write in their real voice, while others I am sure are faking it. Maybe they create a "character" because of a role he or she perceives their audience expects from their blog.
In addition, readers often create a "composite" of what their favorite blogger might look like, how he or she moves through their lives, or respond to others in daily interactions. Blogs give readers very little to go on. even when bloggers are totally genuine, we are all more than we appear in the little glimpses of ourselves we give in our posts
I Will Never Grow So Old AgainMay 14th 2008 20:12
When my son was a little boy, I would look at the absolutely precious person he was and could see how much he already knew. He seemed to be a soul in search of intelligence. As a kindergarten teacher I began to notice this in the other 5 years who were under my care. It reminded me that although adults seem to know so much more than children do, it is the children who can see the beauty of their world, the children who can tune into glorious fantasy at a second's notice, the children who express their absolute dependence and pure will, and the children who are always conscious of death, God, angels, and the necessity of loving others.
Knowledge is not always the adding on of information and skill; sometimes it involves the loss of both. Knowledge is not always a matter of becoming smart and intelligent; it could be the discovery of one's foolishness and ignorance. Knowledge may have little or nothing to do with IQ; there's an intelligence in touch, smell, movement, play, and feeling. All of us, and I place myself at the top of the list, might be well advised to exchange all that we think we know for what we don't know and begin to discover that the world is in the words of Keats, the the soul's school

Today is my dad's 77th birthday. I am so pleased that I was able to spend it with him
Happy Mother's Day: Kicking it Dugger StyleMay 9th 2008 20:03
Good Lord they are at it again! Get the catcher's mitt....Michelle Duggar is pregnant . This will be child number 18. Link to MSN article. Last year I reported on the impending birth of child number 17 Link to post. She gave birth last September to the newest J named child (Jennifer). It is May and she is due in 7 months. I am surprised that the Duggar children all let out a collective "Oh f#*k! Not another one for us to raise!"

I was feeling a bit Proust and I came across this
The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Hold My Hand and Say AAH!May 4th 2008 04:47
In childhood, there are a few things more innocent than a child grabbing the hand of a parent for protection and direction or an adult child steadying their elderly parent as an act of love. Hand holding is a public demonstration of connection and commitment. To hold someone’s hand is to offer them affection, protection, or comfort. People do it during vigils, marches, funerals, weddings, and reunions.
My entire life has been spent hand holding. From the moment, I learned to walk; I navigated the world around me with clasped hands. My dad, who is reluctant to articulate his feelings would his show us how much he cared by this intimate gesture. In turn, as I grew older, I held hands of friends, partners, and other family members during times of uncertainty, exhilaration, and during the mundane minutia of living
