beloved, big girl pants, bloggers, journey, Kyla Roma, MBlog, skating, starting

spent the morning at MBlog 2016 with a room full of bloggers wanting to grow… many great tips on organizing and content creation… a blog is a conversation advised Kyla Roma… we spent time looking at our own blog and working through our brand and who we wanted to be having the conversation with…

  
as the speaker, Kyla kept us moving forward so that by the end we had lots of content to work with for the coming year… 

I spent time remembering that the reason I started to blog was to share some of my experiences following my husband’s death and my desire to share as I move forward in my life’s journey…

it was energizing to hear the sound of wisdom being shared and see the animated faces of the bloggers as everyone soaked up knowledge…

  
left the event filled with ideas floating around in my head…

once home I watched figure skating on tv and had a nap… hadn’t slept well last night… snow started just after I arrived home… 

  dreamt of my beloved coming in after shovelling and when I woke up thought he was in the basement watching tv… took a few moments to realize that he wasn’t… 

maybe a combination of thinking of his loss, snow falling, and the skating, brought on the dream… my neighbour and I would call one another whenever skating was on to be sure the other didn’t miss any programs… I would watch upstairs while George would watch his programs in the basement… shook me up a little…

450 posts, bookshelves, Cynthia Sanchez, emptying closet, MBlog, Olympics, Pinterest

yesterday was my 450th blog post… quite amazing really…

I wrote about divesting books and got a few likes and a couple of new followers…

following the MBlog 2014 conference we went out for dinner and I got to spend some quality time with Cynthia Sanchez (Oh So Pinteresting) who gave me some great tips on how to grow my blog using Pinterest… things have been busy since then and I haven’t been able to look into her suggestions further, but hope to make some time in the next few weeks to test out her suggestions…

 

empty closet...

empty closet…

 

today I spent quite a bit of time emptying my closet so that my contractor can work in it tomorrow… in the process I have injured my back…

sadly I haven’t finished getting all the books off the shelves, and have had to let go of the plan that they would come off the wall and it would be freshly painted, sigh…

 

not yet empty bookshelves...

blogging, MBlog, reception

tonight I was at the reception for MBlog 2014…helped everyone find their nametags and then listened and took a few pictures as people networked.. then we listened to a panel talk about blogging and other forms of social media…

it was great to see speakers and participants whom I had seen at our first MBlog event in 2012… and there were lots of new people to meet as well…

had a conversation with a woman who is setting up a website for the over 50 crowd… she is interested in connecting with my blog… will be interesting to see if that goes anywhere…

do love the serving staff at The Fort Garry… it is one of the few places around that makes sure they offer the goodies to everyone, including those who are looking after registration… tonight the young man who was serving the hors d’oeuvres made sure to come out and offer us goodies as well… they were delicious… got a photo of the dried apple slice with cheese and nuts on it… yum…

met a fellow who is looking to find his inspiration or the fun he used to have when he started blogging…

had quite the giggle on the ride home as we remembered the last conference and how there had been snow plows everywhere on the roads and the number of places where we got stuck behind them… which really slowed down our ability to get home…

no plows tonight…
