Dollars and cents are important but so are fundamental human rights. One without the other makes life difficult. With everything there should be balance. It’s also important to realize that the economy is fluid and can challenge us but not at the expense of life and liberty for all. We must adapt and move forward. It’s the best way to go.

Election Day 2022, Get Out And Vote #VOTE #VOTE2022
It’s election day in the United States and its implications are huge. Races on every level will be on the ballot. Not to put it lightly we are voting for democracy, real individual rights and continuing to move the country forward. I’m voting today for those who want bodily autonomy, the freedom to love who they choose and to help those less fortunate. If you are registered get to your polling station and make your voice heard. It’s easy. Do it early today and get it done.
This Is Monday Good People
Coffee in your cup and a song on your heart might help us get through Monday. Have a great day everyone!
Thinking About Leaving Tumblr
I blogged at Tumblr for years but now I am contemplating leaving it. Some of the people there I have made connections with in other places. One blogging platform should do the trick. I have enough people to keep up with in other places. Just something to ponder.
Something About Tumblr
A friend of mine deleted her Tumblr blog after being harassed by some who had issues with the fandom they feel passionate about. I thought Tumblr was a cool and safe place for everyone. It seems it isn’t. I’m sorry she did that but it seems Tumblr has a way to go to become that place of open mindedness and true freedom of expression. Fandoms are highly personal things so when one is attacked because of uninformed people saying ignorant things then perhaps it’s time to run along. I’m glad to be on WordPress.
Something About What Makes A Blogger, Numbers Don’t Tell The Whole Story #wordpressdotcom
Blogging is a noun and a verb. It is something you do and is something you are. Your number of followers do not determine your value as a blogger because I think the quality of your connections is what matters most. Some bloggers have a large following while others have a few friends and neighbors tagging along. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have thousands of people visiting daily. A blog that comes from the heart will tell a great story and will bring people along organically. Don’t worry about your stats especially if you are an amateur. It’s good to celebrate milestones of people following but don’t get hung up on that. Every blog has a place in cyberspace.
No two bloggers are exactly alike. Their mission and purpose are determined by the writer and curator. I think individuality matters. Be yourself within your blog and create posts in your own way. Be sure your blog looks alive and tells the reader something about yourself.
As a person who runs a personal blog I am not out to be wildly popular but to share my message with all who will hear it and will connect with me. Being happy with what you have and be proud of your blog.
The one thing I always say is keep on blogging!
