A Requiem for Lets Blog Off

                                             

I am sadden to learn of the death of LetsBlogOff.  Born of Veronika Miller, Rufus Dogg, Rich Holschuh, and Paul Anater in June of 2010 to answer the question "what is design?"  With four parents it is no wonder the question inspired four different answers.  That, to me, is what has made LetsBlogOff so unique: a lively spirit full of varying thoughts willing to invoke discussion.   


I coo'd over all the LetsBlogOff participants for a few months but wasn't willing to personally join because the writing was so eloquent.  At least until November 2010 when the subject was too perfect. I had to high jack my BFF blog to write my very first blog post.   I am not a writer but that post was easy.  It was due to my own insecurities that it took another 5 months before the attraction became too much and my own blog was born just in order to participate in LetsBlogOff.    


The subjects have been varied.  From the serious Truth vs. Fact and Privacy Today to the funny Thumbtacks.  I believe that subject was picked on a dare :)  I have learned a lot too.  About writing.  About grace. About fun. About travel. About food.  About integrity.  Being fearless.  I also learned a lot about myself.  


I will never be a prolific writer but LetsBlogOff provided me a place to start.  I want to thank Paul, Rufus, Veronika and Rich for their inspiration, time, and generosity. I look forward to see what they conceive next!

Let’s Blog Off – Things that make me go hmmm?

Every two weeks Bloggers unite for a day to write about a communal topic.  This week the title is where do you get your ideas?

That’s the real answer, whatever makes me go hmmm.  Unloading the dishwasher last night I had an hmmm moment.  It was a thought that gave me pause and then a laugh.  It will probably become a blog post. 

It is more introspective for me than an aha moment simply because I ponder the hmmm until I can write or think it out.  It may graduate to an aha moment or dive back into my subconscious until I am ready to face it.   I love when it is a laugh out loud moment!

That tilt of the head, for me, is a great feeling.  It means I am in the moment and not thinking ahead or behind.  Which happens far too often is this busy world.   

My excessive use of a calculator tells me I am not a left brain person.  Do right brain people hmmm more often than left brain?  I don’t know though I would tend to think so. 

What makes you go hmmm?
