Innocently, I checked my email yesterday and was elated to find that an invitation and challenge was sitting there waiting to be opened. The plea was sent from a dear friend whom I have had the honor of working with and getting to know better. I adore her. Inspired, I quickly clicked the link in her email and signed up. Then I sat back and thought, "I do not like the name that I gave my blog."
It has to be just right.
It can't sound....oh the pressure!
Frantically, I searched through thesaurus.com for synonyms that fit the feeling I have about blogging and literature. I settled into Nabors' Nook because finding a hidden nook in a library or bookstore is always my idea of a great day! I rushed to my blog and renamed it from Mrs. Nabors shares to Mrs. Nabors' Nook. AHHHHHHHHHH! Much better!
So, welcome to my nook! (I still have to figure out how to change it on my registration! I hope everyone can find my little space!!) The coffee is brewing and the fire roars a hearty welcome on this cold Texas morning.
You will see earlier posts on this blog where my class and I have tried to begin this journey independently. We haven't made it! Just being honest. We have put a few posts here and there, but we haven't been disciplined enough to post a slice EVERY day! I need my friends to hold me accountable, and I need to find my self-discipline again!
Discipline is my word for the month of March!
So, dear friends, I am tagging along to join you on this journey! I can't wait to share my nook with you and see where this road leads! I know one thing...I am thankful for the invitation!!
I really like the blog name, it does welcome the reader. Coffee & a fire also sound very welcoming. Let's gather as we read everybody's posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea and visual of a nook! Glad to hear the coffee is brewing ;)
ReplyDeleteMarcie, the coffee is always brewing! Have a great day!
DeleteWelcome! Great blog title - you made it very welcoming - especially the fire! I'm sure you'll love the community here - so supportive. Looking forward to your blog posts this month.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverley! I am so excited to be part of this precious community!
DeleteThe journey has to begin somewhere/sometime, so this is your time. Stick with it and you will be amazed at the power your words have to touch others this month. So, welcome and write on!
ReplyDeleteElsie,
DeleteThank you so much! I am excited!
Let me know when you figure out how to change the name! I'm retiring in a few years and figure I'll need to change my blog name then.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the discipline of blogging, just think of every moment as a potential post, and don't worry about length. That's what I'm telling myself!
Glenda, I know how to change it on my blog. I am just not sure how to change it on the sign ups for this challenge!
DeleteI agree! I am looking for the potential! I am not worried about the length!
I am glad I found your "nook" and look forward to "holding you accountable" this month. It is something you will enjoy and look back on and realize what all you learned through the experience. Happy writing!
ReplyDeleteLeigh Anne,
DeleteThank you so much!! What a wonderful journey this is sure to be!!!
Happy Writing to you, too!
I love your blog title, and I think it's perfect. Wasn't it lovely to write by the firelight, sipping hot coffee and pondering life. I am thrilled you've chosen to join in on this journey, and I can't wait to follow your post each day. I love how you embedded graphics and pictures throughout your blog. Your blog site looks super fancy and inviting! Cheers to a great month of writing my friend!
