So my laptop is now working, more or less (thank you AVG PC TuneUp, even if I had to uninstall it afterwards to prevent it sludging up everything it had cleaned!). Now that I've lost that excuse, it's time to give some serious thought to my blogging schedule. Blogging schedule, you cry? You had such … Continue reading 3 Real-Life Reasons to Use an Editorial Calendar

The Evolution of My Virtual Communities
The heart of being a Professional Enabler is to have a community to enable. I've been thinking about how my online community has evolved over the years, as my interests and enthusiasms have waxed and waned. Some people have stuck even though my participation in the community where I met them has become sporadic at … Continue reading The Evolution of My Virtual Communities
Explaining Shabbat
So my friend Anna, who is an indefatigable organiser and promoter, keeps sending me kind invitations to wonderful events that I would just love to attend. Unfortunately, I keep turning her down because I have this thing about this one day of the week. I don't drive, work or use electronics or money on Shabbat, … Continue reading Explaining Shabbat
In the Beginning …
In the beginning, there was Blogger. Blogger was very, very good to a nervous newbie. Everything was provided, the themes were pretty, the interface was reasonably quick and easy to learn. But as time went on, the little blogger grew up and got impatient with the limitations of the sandbox. So, because I'd been listening … Continue reading In the Beginning …
Announcing: The WordPress Project
I'm about to start a new set of posts, chronicling my journey to learn WordPress. I'm going to be following this book (affiliate link). It's quite a few notches above a Dummies book, but I do have some background in programming, HTML and CSS. If you don't, don't despair - I'm happy to explain anything … Continue reading Announcing: The WordPress Project
Paying It Forward in 2013

I'm not as good as she is in making things, so she told me that there were other small ways to make people happy. She's right - there are. I'm going to try and pay attention to those opportunities. It made … Continue reading Paying It Forward in 2013
My Three Words for 2013
So I've been following a guy called Chris Brogan for quite a few years now, on Twitter and FaceBook and now listening to his podcast. A few years ago he started something called his Three Words, to help focus his goals and vision for the year. Chris always reveals his words on January 1st. For … Continue reading My Three Words for 2013
Entering 2013
Happy New Year to all my friends and readers! This is my first blog post from WordPress, and I am very excited about it. This past year has been a tumultuous one for my family. My husband's employment, stable for almost 20 years, has become tenuous. The stress and uncertainty involved have been very difficult … Continue reading Entering 2013
What I’ve Been Doing
So, I asked everyone to like my FB page, and I had a wonderful response that warmed the cockles of my heart. Then I went quiet. So, what's going on? There are several things on the go. First of all, my little tutoring/editing/web support business has been dormant for a while, and I need to … Continue reading What I’ve Been Doing
May I Help You?
I wrote a huge long post about things that make me happy, and it made me realise that aside from the obvious such as hanging out with my family, there really are two main things that make me light up. So I deleted everything else and I'm just going to concentrate on those two. One … Continue reading May I Help You?
