Websites can get expensive so today I condensed JellyMom.com and LisaBarker.com into blogs on Blogger. I saved the domain names in case I ever want to or need to have sites again.
People ask when/if I will write Jelly Mom again. I have to say that I have felt zapped when it comes to writing ever since my daughter's death, but today as I was going over the Jelly Mom 'site' I could feel it again, though I don't know how fleeting it is. Maybe in time.
The healing Mass was good. The pain has eased and I can celebrate her life more than mourn it.
I applied to be a writer on Suite101.com and got the job. I know I am one of thousands but I'm happy with it. It's a challenge coming up with something--anything--to write these days, but I'm trying. So far I wrote one parenting article and polished up two Catholic articles I had written but never published. The site has been down on the writer's end, so I've been able to enjoy my Christmas holiday with the kids without guilt. That's good!
The new blog I started, Soul, Speak Softly, is a live link now on this blog. Just keeping track of those thoughts of heaven when they happen, though that writing is stilted, too. I did find a writing nun whose blog I have been following. She was reviewing a book for writers that I want to get my hands on--totally speaks to me.
Only a few hours left of 2010. May 2011 be filled with abundant blessings to all!
Lisa
