why i started blogging
my first post
my first feature
my first feature at another blog was of bear’s big boy transportation room. though i’m sad that i can’t remember what site it was
my favorite post about me
back in july, i posted about a letter to the editors at parent’s magazine that was published. it was a very scary post for me to write, but educating others on bipolar disorder is something that i’m passionate about. i wrote the post knowing that i might put some people off from my blog. bringing it back up again, i’m aware of that risk again. but this is me…
the post i learned the most from
my son, like many children, is wise beyond his years… during our conversation of the death of our favorite pet butterfly, i realized more about my views on life and the aftermath. what an amazing teacher he is. if you read only one of these posts, read this one… the flutter of wings
