Ripple Effects has come of age

Got this from WordPress a couple days ago. How time flies!


RIPPLE EFFECTS
Coming of Age

Ripple Effects has been tracking my life for the past 18 years! The movies I’ve seen, books I’ve read, birds I’ve captured with my camera, places I’ve travelled, film festivals I’ve attended, and through the years with special thoughts every Easter and at Christmas, Reading the Season inspirational book sharing.

Through the years I’ve been featured on WordPress’ Freshly Pressed, and Rotten Tomatoes had reached out inviting me to be their Tomatometer Approved Critic. I’ve gained over 7,600 followers, treasured the friendship made with some of you both virtually via the blogosphere and personally. For this I’m truly grateful.

If I ever write a memoir, this is my manuscript. To browse through these posts is to know me. Thank you all for the pebbles you’ve thrown into the Pond to create your own ripples. Many of you are recent followers, but there are some who have been with me from early on. And I’m sure you’d find it revealing to read your own thoughts way back then.

Who knows what the future holds. As far as I’m given the opportunity, I’ll continue to document my pondering and wandering here at Ripple Effects. Hope this site can be your restful retreat in your journey through life as well.

  3. I remember when we ‘met.’ Curious, I looked up my first post, and found it was in 2017 — both of us have been “slow blogging” since then. I do remember that Madeleine L’Engle was a first shared interest, but there’s been so much more of interest to enjoy in your blog. I cherish having met you in person, and laugh every time something else, late in the mail, reminds me of our Christmas card sagas.

    Here’s to sharing creative endeavors for years to come!

      1. You’re absolutely right. I figured out that I’d been blogging seventeen years, but misspoke in my comment. A friend calls things like that “thinko-s” — like a typo, but mental!

    1. Thanks Jeanie. Yes you’ve been coming for a long time, even though not at the very beginning. We’ve established regular mutual visits all these years which I appreciate greatly. Your Ditch, my Pond. We do have some similar sighting. 😉
