Wow. As of right now, (10:50 PM) there have been 1,001 visits to this site. About fifteen percent of those visits occurred in the last 48 hours. (Thanks again to Crunchy and her friends.)

There’s not really much to say about the occasion other than I am pleased, encouraged, and grateful. I […]

What a great couple of days! It all started on Friday when I was visiting with my friend, Crunchy. We’re both photographers, so we tend to gravitate toward that subject. So, I was very surprised when after more than a year of knowing one another, the subject somehow turned to blogging - and […]

We had great fun running around and trying to catch the stuff on our tongues. My three-year-old remained interested until about the time […]

Well, I’ve been busy, busy, busy getting this blog up to snuff, and I crossed a major milestone today. If you look to the right at the sidebar, you’ll now find direct links to The Joy Immersion Project and all of its released assignments. That list will grow as I add new assignments […]

I got word today that there may be some new visitors to the site, so I wanted to extend my hand in welcome right away. If you are just joining us, please note that this site is a work in progress. The links to the right will give you some insight, but even those are […]
