Question Time

     Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me get feedback on a number of questions. This week's question - Why did you start a blog?  I started blogging in March of 2011 as part of my healing journey in coping with the loss of my identical twin sister Janine. I saw it as a way of not only expressing my experiences but also focusing on the many interests, hobbies etc. that my twin and I shared. It has further helped me to cope with yet another loss, the death of my brother Sutcliffe in 2011. Through blogging I have learnt to find peace in nature walks, photography and so much more. In other words it is therapeutic.

It's sometimes good to blog to express happiness and heal some memories. I started blogging in 2009 on an other site. I feel it great to talk to other people and friends from all over the world, seeing their culture , tradition and be a part of their happy and sad moments.

I haven't a clue why I started. Curious I guess and then I found friends and we're still friends today. Many I've met in person from around the world. That's why I keep blogging.

Have a terrific day. :)

I started my blog originally to keep family and friends who lived far away abreast of how my children were doing. It is turned into a living scrapbook, a memoir of sorts, that my children look forward to reading each day-- that documents our homeschooling journey together. :-) I enjoy your blog, Judy. I am glad that writing it has brought you some peace.

I's mos happy to find you here, Judy! And for sharing your healing journey with us! I blog because I have so many stories from growing up on a ranch in Southern Alberta and I hope that, by sharing them, I can remind others of happier times. Maybe from their childhood. It's all about sharing what's important. Family!

Yes, interesting opinion, I think you're quite right, it is a way to communicate without conflict and relaxed at the same time it is also a way of escape and distraction.
