Awards-A Blast From The Past

December 10, 2025 Looking for the Light7 Comments

There was a time when giving awards to other bloggers was common place and were fun to participate in. Many bloggers may not have seen the old awards so I thought it would be fun to share. This post is not about me, it’s about blogging history.

Are You Having This Issue With WordPress? It’s Strange.

October 2, 2025 Looking for the Light2 Comments

I noticed that some of my post old and new no longer have contect when I reread them. Others have spaces in the paragraphs that give some type of error message. What’s even stranger is when I go to my blog live and search for the post, the content is there.

Some post from 2014 are fine but one from 2020 was not. Is the one the many mysteries of WordPress?

I would love to hear you feedback and if have found a work around. I don’t want to lose my content over time.

Thanks so much.

What are you passionate about?

View all responses

That’s a good question because there are times when my passion changes, like learning something new. My neverending passions are photography, my houseplants, traveling, and our dogs. As I’ve aged my passions are less adventuresome but I have the greatest memories of diving, hiking, and traveling internationally.

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

View all responses

I’m blessed to have luxuries like good candles and a Lambswool throw but one luxury I can’t live without is the fireplace in my office. I use it every day year-round because I’m cold-natured. It can be 90 degrees outside and I’m in front of the fire with a sweatshirt on.

How do you balance work and home life?

View all responses

I’m retired now but I remember how hard it was to have balance in life while working. In the early part of my career it was easy but as I reached closer to the top it was impossible for me, I didn’t have balance. That’s one of the rewards of retirement, ever day is balanced.

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

View all responses

I’m retired, so my days are not as demanding. Stress is a different story. To relax, I go to my office with no noise, social media, phone, and no dogs. I meditate for as long as I can, which clears my mind, and then I go downstairs to eat dinner.
