Well, I can add “earthquake” to my list of experiences — and I don’t even live in California!
I was taking my nap in my lazy boy and thought a pet was moving under my chair. Then, I heard my husband and daughter shouting that their desks were moving. After a call to 911, we learned that Hampton Roads, as well as the rest of Virginia, North Carolina, Washington, D.C. and New York had an earthquake on the scale of 5.8!

One of the no-nos of blogging is to not blog. It leaves your site stall and discourages viewers from returning. Obviously, I haven’t followed this advice, having not blogged for several months.
The truth is, I want to revamp my site and find its niche, but I have no idea what that is. The site started out a few years ago as a writing site but evolved into a blog of whatever’s on my mind. Then, I decided it would be a “liberal” site to combat the rise of conservatism out there. Now I feel as if I am spinning my wheels, with no direction or focus or idea of what I want this site to be.
I have also discovered that it is hard to blog on a continuous basis when work gets in the way. Last year, I wrote a 65,000 word book on pruning trees and bushes in a four month span, after not having any work for a while. This year, I completed 12 astrology calendars for 2012, and am currently working on another 65,000 word book about interpreting dreams, as well as astrology calendars for 2013. I have also been compiling information on how to make a web site sing — only I haven’t yet been able to find the time to go through the mountains of reading and time involved in order to make it happen.
I intend to revamp this site over the next few months — that is, if I can figure out what I want to do!
