Hmm. Scratch that.
Oy! Can someone say pretentious?
Yeah. Cause after all this time there are sooooo many people stopping by to read the scribbles that I write.
*sigh*
How about this ... a simple introduction, or rather, a re-introduction after a lengthy absence.
Yeah. That I can do.
Hi! My name is CindyRose. I'm a single woman with a Chester who lives in The Dollhouse. I like to read, drink tea, and play with my pupper. My hobbies include stamping and scrapbooking and going through my collection of pictures, reveling in the memories they bring to my mind. I have a precious girl who may be married with a child but will live forever in my mind as a toddler who answers the question "why?" with the simple response of "for drins and driggles, Cinny". I have 3 nieces and 3 girlies who remind me each time I am with them that beauty, strength, grace, integrity, inspiration, and hope are not just words.
My name is CindyRose and I am a writer.
Well. I used to be. Not famous or published, but I was a writer of a blog and people would actually read my words and, on occasion they found them interesting. However, it's been a while ... a looooong while. Somewhere along the last year, and counting, I lost my writing mojo. The thoughts were there but when I would sit down and face this daunting blank white screen, they would flee faster than a four hobbits, two humans, an elf and a dwarf could exit the Mines of Moria as Gandalf was lost in the battle with the Balrog.
Did I mention I was also a bit of a geek? hmmm. Could have possibly tried to keep that undercover for a bit longer, but ... *sighs* ... oh well. Deal or "smile & nod" and back away slowly. It's up to you.
Anyhow ... six months ago real life took a blessedly drastic turn. It's remarkable how something so simple, everyday and, in today's society, honestly unremarkable, can change a person ... can return them to those things that they didn't know they missed, showing them the small blessings that can keep darkness at bay, and remind them that happiness can be found in the most unlikely of places. A simple change in life, while scary at times, introducing us to new and different ideas and activities, can also re-introduce us to beloved interests that had seemed to have died, leaving what seemed to be an empty hole inside, were not really gone but just resting and waiting.
Evidently my writing mojo had been waiting ... quietly gathering energy, waiting for the spark to set it free.
Waiting for the right time.
Waiting for the right inspiration.
This weekend, that final bit of inspiration was located in a very unlikely spot and the writing mojo seemed to flood my mind with thoughts, ideas, and desire to face the blank white screen.
To share something hopefully funny, something hopefully thought provoking, something hopefully worthy of taking the time to read.
What was that final bit? A tag from a website issuing an April challenge of taking a photo a day. The list was intriguing. Thiry ideas for thirty days of April. I couldn't get it out of my head, yet in my mind it was posting a photo a day in this little blog spot of mine and writing about it. I could do that. I could take the mojo that I missed and combine it with the photography that I enjoy, not in a professional way but in a "that caught my eye and I had to take a picture" kind of way.
So ... here I am ... returning to the blogosphere ... writing ... with pictures! Woo hoo!
The challenge was issued and I responded. The pictures, and their subsequent words, will be all mine.
My thoughts.
My rambles.
My way of creating in a medium I have missed. I hope that along the way there will be someone who will find them interesting enough to take a moment of their time and read.
If you do ... thank you. :-)
Oh ... and for those who like to look ahead ... here's the list that gets me started (courtesy of "FatMumSlim", an Australian blogger who loves photography):
