Ten years ago, I started this blog.
Ten years ago, I started this blog to join in the March Challenge on Two Writing Teachers.
I completed eight years of the March Challenge plus many, many weekly Slice of Life entries.
Ten years ago, I did not know that I would compose and publish 625 posts.
Ten years ago, I did not know that blogging would bring me friends all around this globe.
What will the next ten years bring?
Probably the title won’t change, I will still try writing. Stay tuned. . .

Thank you, your comment means a lot to me.
I still remember my first All Write conference when I recognized you at the hotel and followed you until I got up the nerve to introduce myself. What delightful memories come from our years of writing together! And how happy I was to meet you in person. Yes, keep writing and showing up. Your words have encouraged me and inspired me. Happy Anniversary, dear friend!
I remember that day too. It was a happy day for me to meet you. One of these days I will get to Seattle and we can chat again. š
Congratulations, Elsie! It’s an incredible achievement. I personally have been blessed by your words, from the energetic wit and storytelling to taco-hunting (yum) in your posts to your bright, encouraging comments. As hard as it sometimes is to maintain, the dedicated writing enriches ones life in ways never expected, as you mention. It connects us. Here’s to writing on. š
Thank you Fran! Your comment means warms my heart.
