Hmm...

Blogging is totally new to me, I have no idea how to blog. I'm taking this course to help me to develop better writing and communication skills. Once I learn and hopefully master this skill, I hope to use it to blog about my daily adventures in life.

My blogging! Past, present,an future.. (No spell check, so sorry!)

I'm a forty year old single woman with alot of free time on my hands, I guess you can say that im a "Total blog virgin".
When it come's to blogging, I no nothing about it , the term's used, or how, when, & why, I would write one.
That is until 2 days ago.
While looking for a "work from home" job online, which is a total crock of stuff.
I came across a job opening for a "Blogger" (i dont even no if thats the correct term, but oh well.)
After reading the add, I thought, WOW! This is something I do everyday for the fun of it, when I write in my journal.
So, I looked up an online blogging coarse, and after weeding out all the fake site's and warding off the forcefully sadistic people trying to take over my computer, or sell me a bunch of stuff I don't need, I found myself here,& writing my first blog with in the first 24 hour's of finding it.
I am, by no means, saying or suggesting that it's a good blog, but, it's a blog either way!

Nam Myoho Buddha Girl!

Hello! This is my first blog post. Until this morning when I began my research I knew almost nothing about blogging. It is amazing how quickly you can learn something new with a few clicks and a little time.
Right now I am chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo a million times with specific goals for my life. I'm about to go into my 25th year of chanting Nam myoho Renge Kyo and I've had incredible results so far.
This campaign of chanting (called a "Million Daimoku Campaign") will create incredible lasting benefits in my life. I wish to share these with everyone and help people learn about the incredible Buddhist practice of chanting.

A new way to keep in touch with old friends

Within a week or two, my children, my pets, and I will be hopping on a plane and flying out of the United States. My husband is anxiously awaiting our arrival in a western European country where we will begin the adventure of a lifetime. I look with longing toward the day that we are reunited. I have some trepidation in leaving what is familiar. I think of those around me that I have grown to love and cherish and know that none of us is guaranteed even a single day more. I have shed tears- of joy at moving forward, of sorrow at leaving loved ones behind, of remembrance for the special moments that I have shared with family and friends, of fear of leaving all that I know.
A friend from church today suggested that I blog as a way to share our lives over the miles with those we leave behind. I feel so truly blessed that I have touched him and that he cares what will happen in our lives. I feel truly blessed that I live in this time of computers, internet, and web logs. I think back often on women of the pioneer days whose husbands would have gone off into the wilderness. If they and their husbands were literate-they may have exchanged letters. These letters might have taken weeks, months, or even years to travel the distance. There would surely not have been room for the little everyday memories. How blessed we are to be able to communicate in an instant if we desire to do so.
God alone knows what is in the future for our family. With a new blog, my friends and family will know where He leads us and how we go about living out this new adventure. Again I say-I am blessed.
