Blogging--as active engagement

Engagement--my new watch word. As you can see I haven’t posted for sometime. Although I haven’t posted here I have been very busy posting on other interesting blogs. I’ve wrestled with how to manage my time and still be involved while not comprising my own need for creativity. I’ll devoted my focus here first. One Woman’s Voice will be the eternal well from which I draw.

When I first became interested in blogging, about two years ago, I quickly set about to create all these elaborate blogs; each focused on a different area of interest. According to all the blog-cology, this was the way to go. Was I doing it for fun or profit? Well it depended on which day I was blogging.

Let’s face it. The human being is a wonderfully complexed creature. Add a bit of creativity and trials of life to the mix and you’ve got one interestingly whacky unpredictable character. That’s me--Interesting, whacky and unpredictable. So what kind of blog(s) should a whacky chick like me create? Where do my passion and interests lie?


Creativity--I love making things. As a veteran coming from a large family of veterans I am politically impassioned. I like to say, I was patriotic before patriotism was cool. As a member of a very large loving southern family with a small family of my own, I continue to share in and experience the joys and sorrows of daily living in this tribe. I oten attempt to capture these moments through photography. Being equally moved by the joys and sorrows, drives me to activitism. So what's a whacky unpredictable chick to do?

One woman’s voice is the heartfelt expressions of engagement. I am engaged with life. It leads me in many different directions. This is simply the place where I record my impressions along the way. It is with this singleness of purpose this blog exist. It is one woman's engaged prespective on the business of living. Doing it My Way!

Anything’s Possible

I decided to blog as a way of sharing, writing, creating, interacting with the world via what ever avenue or subject matter I choose. How cool is that?
This is my soapbox, my day in the sun so to speak. Here, I can speak my truth about the things that matter to me. Perhaps there’s someone else out there that is also thinking the same way or maybe not…hey this person could be introduced to a totally new idea or concept--by me. That could be a new radical good thing. Anything’s possible.

I like to read, create things with my hands and words. I enjoy solitude but I’m also a very social being--another reason for blogging. I have always secretly dreamed of becoming a published writer someday… well here I am all published and everything…Look at me now Ma! Top of the World Ma! Anything’s possible!

My passions are photography, landscape and nature. I dabble in alchemy, making soaps, candles and other bath and body products from scratch using my own recipes. I also love to design and make jewelry. I currently work in the medical field but dream of making a living doing what I love. So by day I work for a surgeon in a sports medicine clinic. But by night I read and toil to create magical designs and recipes. My design studio website is currently under construction. You can check the progress at

Why did you decide to blog?
