I love moving furniture around in my house. It makes things new. Fresh. (It also shows me where the dust was gathering and what needed tending to!) In similar fashion, I decided it was time to move the furniture around here in my blog home. I’ve had the same look for three years. It’s time…

To Blog or Not to Blog?
Why blog? Many people have asked the purpose of blogging. Some would say that we are a society that will not stop talking. Opinions and comments and advise and rants abound. Guilty.
