Or, How I Finally Got Motivated Blog-o-vated!

I discovered a new social website recently called Pinterest. It’s a social photo sharing website where members can collect and manage images they find on the internet of interesting, funny, unusual, unique, scary, whatever (pick any descriptive adjective here)  stuff.  These pictures are ‘pinned’ onto the users’ own theme-based boards and shared with other Pinterest members that like the same stuff.   And, OMG, this can be such a fun time sucker!

So, I found myself gravitating to the gardening, outdoor, food and organizing boards of other users to look at the images they ‘pinned’ on them. I spent hours, that’s a lie, much much longer, literally days perusing pictures, and pinning some on my own boards and then visiting the websites that originally posted the photos and reading the stories that inspired the snapshots. Ergo, I found a bunch of  websites of bloggers after my own heart that love to get their hands in the dirt and live more simply. And, lo and behold, after spending months in a writing funk and blogging lethargy, I am re-inspired to write about the things I love.

So, today I begin a renewed writing journey, about gardens and mushrooms and gourds and birds and pets and food and living simply and family and whatever.

If you’d like an invitation to Pinterest, just ask me. The easiest way is to provide me with the email address you use for Facebook.  In the meantime, please look at Cindy’s Pinterest (that’s me). The button is over there, on your right, the red box with the white loopy ‘P’ inside.

Hooray for inspiration!
