I have been mainly blogging on my other blogs these days. I have taken my health blog http://mamakendras-journeytohealth.blogspot.com/ to a new level, since I feel that this is something quite serious. It is a journey I am working through on so many levels- too many really, but in the end it is all up to me and how I think & handle it, in order to "put off the end". Life has a cruddy irony sometimes, sometimes I think it is really personally attacking me, but it is just a joke (from life itself!).
I am making some new choices, what I put in my body, what I do w/ my body, how I relate to Mark & the kids, how close I get to others around me, what is important materially.
I need to live like I only have one day to live with my family, but plan for the future like I am going to live to be 95 (because I AM going to live to be 95+!!!).

My First Post!
This is my very first blog post! Up until recently, I really never could see myself going the blog route. I just couldn't figure out why anyone would want to waste their time reading someone else's personal web log journals, when there is "so much to do and so little time" in a day already!
It all started with getting a myspace account, and found that it was more complicated than I personally could handle. So I ventured to facebook, but still felt the same about it, not what I was looking for (what was I looking for, and did I know I was looking for anything?). I always wanted my own "website" for years now, but lacked the know how (although I am pretty darn savy on navigating the internet for communication, shopping, research, etc).
Recently, as in the past few months, I found myself searching the internet for specific topics regarding unschooling, homeschooling, personal health issues I am going through, different ways to make some extra cash online, money & chores, etc. I found myself really enjoying reading a very personal experience & relatability in the blogs. It wasn't just reading a published article, which are great too, but it was more raw and true to what I was/am going through. I was sold! The deal was sealed when a group of homeschooling Mamas' that I communicated with here locally (except G in Colorado) used their blogs to express themselves & to eachother in a whole new way...different than the usual yahoogroups way that I have been using for almost 10 years now!
So here I am.
It will be rough for a while as I learn this new medium, the netiquette of blogging, how much/little to share, and of course, staying true to my title...the 15 minute blogger. That title is pretty much a new mantra of mine I got from Flylady since I tend to take HOURS to perfect what I am doing (bit obsessive am I). So, now that I have been sitting here for over an hour (getting the um, glitches out, yeah), I gotta bid a farewell- merry meet, merry part and merry meet again!
