It is my hope that this blog will inform, inspire and enlighten whoever visits. This is the place where I chronicle and curate the things that are important to me. Of course you will see me doing silly things here too, I am a total dork after all. A good blog will show humanity and hopefully peace. Thanks to you for spending time here. Keep on blogging.

Further Tweaking
I have done some further tweaking of my blog. Would you my fellow bloggers check it out to see what you think. Please check it out from the front page and offer any feedback you might have.
A New Look For My Site…What Do You Think?
I have made a significant change to my blog. I have made look more like a personal homepage. When folks visit my page I want them to see my skills with WordPress. On the front page you will see links to my most recent posts and ways to connect to me elsewhere. I also wanted to feature my city of Chattanooga, a place that influences much of my blogging. The Motif theme is a great theme that is easy to read, navigate and customize. I liked my previous theme but I thought there was too much content to see all at once.
So my fellow bloggers, what do you think? Your feedback is welcome.
A Note To My Followers
Thank you for your kindness to me and my city during this tragic time here. My posts have been very focused on this tragedy because it is impacting a place I love very much and its people. One thing this blog is dedicated to being is relevant and timely. Current events are an important thing to chronicle. News and information are valuable parts of our culture and I want to capture. Sharing our lives means the things that happens to us daily. To everyone who is still hanging with me, I appreciate you all.
A Social Ramble
I find that WordPress, Twitter and sometimes Tumblr are better places to be than Facebook. I don’t know what it is but I think Facebook can bring someone down. Sure there are tons of pet videos but that can’t be the only thing keeping someone there. Blogging seems to be a more open social environment for better discussion. I would so love to log out of Facebook but it keeps people coming back because of the connections you have there. Not everyone blogs so that is a problem. Maybe I just need to logout of Facebook for awhile. I would much rather blog, Tweet and Instagram anyway.
Rambling About Changes
Everything changes, it’s a fact of life and technology. We all have things that come along that are different and new. Some of us can handle transitions better than others. Getting used to things that are unfamiliar is a real challenge for many. Being open minded can help us adjust to things that come along in life. Nothing remains the same for too long. An idea, a revolution, a communal desire to see change can make some uncomfortable which presents a whole other set of issues. The one thing we have to do in all of life is to keep our cool and hopefully have an open mind to doing something we aren’t used to doing.
So if you are going through a lot of change, know others have been down the same road as you. It will be alright. Have faith in your own abilities to adapt to the new. We all have changes ahead that we have to cope with. Hang in there good people, things will be alright…have some faith
