I am a prolific blogger in my mind only. (My keyboard knows the truth.) PS I hope genealogy doesn't cause marital discord! But last night as I was about to sit down at the computer, I heard your words in my ear and I spent the time with Husband instead. So thank you! :-)Rennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617626526633867494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757387388608137930.post-37810477505834695042014-04-24T01:43:38.353-04:002014-04-24T01:43:38.353-04:00Yay Renn!

Wonderful to read this and to discover new things about you - like your love of genealogy :-) i love what you wrote about falling through the cracks - that's such a powerful image. Thanks for taking the part in the blog on tour - it's been fun hasn't it?Marie Ennis https://www.blogger.com/profile/10977130661613864057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757387388608137930.post-26191726035967651782014-04-23T23:35:13.789-04:002014-04-23T23:35:13.789-04:00dear Renn,
as I read through your marvelous blog ...dear Renn,<br /><br />as I read through your marvelous blog tour post, I was galvanized by your answers to the questions posed. and I thought of all the energy, really good, strengthening and nurturing energy and realized that the voice you found wasn't just for others to know that they are not alone, but for you, your sweet and kind self to truly know that you, too, are not alone either. I think this is what makes you a fabulous advocate, I think it is what showcases your genuine, heartfelt concerns for others and allows the alchemy of the Blog Soup to bubble over with compassion, empathy, gratitude and love. and lots of good humor! I am so grateful that you post when you do - it's always something so germaine and with words fixed onto the page that are always just right, and I am impressed that those 3 little words you chose, Discard, Energize, and Create have been the perfect guideposts for this new year (as well as adding Edit, as needs be!) you've done a lovely job giving us insight into your unique writing process, so interesting and so YOU! I am excited to see the baton handed over to Josie and Yvonne.<br /><br />with much appreciation and congratulations,<br /><br />Karen xoxoxotccomments2013https://www.blogger.com/profile/00446394638074551345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757387388608137930.post-77144543729661289422014-04-23T16:37:11.914-04:002014-04-23T16:37:11.914-04:00Renn, what an engaging post!

I can relate to your writing block and do really wonder how some bloggers can post so frequently. But that's what makes us all interesting. I do dabble in genealogy as well, and perhaps that helped lead to the demise of my marriage. Too much time on the computer writing and researching. But finding ancestors and piecing together bits and pieces with the help of distant relatives is so intriguing and addicting. So I understand. I look forward to reading the posts from those to whom you passed the baton. I know Yvonne, another wonderful writer, but don't know Josie. xoxJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859603179029359430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757387388608137930.post-28045909001323704922014-04-23T16:20:32.523-04:002014-04-23T16:20:32.523-04:00Thanks Catherine!

I blogged everyday (I am not sure how I did that) Now I only post once per week... sometimes twice ;-)<br /><br />I'll answer a few questions:<br /><br />I'm working on forgiving right now... I feel if I can let some things go, I can heal quicker emotionally.<br /><br />I don't know that I'm that different but I guess we all are as we have our own unique stories. I talk about my struggles with weight, self worth, depression and I try to look for the good.<br /><br />I started to write a year after my ex raped me, I found my voice through blogging. I became stronger through writing. I'm glad I did.. not sure where I would be today.<br /><br />It takes me hours to write a post now.. sometimes days depending on what I want or need to say... I enjoy the process though, it almost always helps me deal with the challenges I have dealt with.<br /><br />Have a great day..
