Meeting of the Minds

Well, after several years of maintaining two different blogs, I’ve decided to merge them together. I have found myself cross-posting things to both blogs more and more of late, so I decided it just made sense to combine them. It will definitely mean less work for me in the long run since I’ll only have a single blog to maintain now. Hopefully this will equate to more frequent updates since it was always a bit daunting trying to update both of them daily in the past.

It will also be nice to just have anything and everything about my life in one place. I had some readers who frequented both of my previous blogs, yet there were many who read only one and knew nothing of the other. Some knew I stitched, but didn’t know about my quest for weight loss/fitness and vice versa.

I started thinking a lot about combining them into a single blog after my dear friend Terri did that last year. Her new blog title (This is Who I Am) really struck a cord with me. With combining my own blogs, hopefully my blog life will feel more cohesive and not quite so segmented.

If you are interested in anything from my previous blogs, it’s all been imported into this new blog. Additionally, the old blogs will still be in place for a while since the domain names are registered through next summer. I will place a redirect post on each of them that point to the new domain.

For navigational purposes, I have put all of my stitching related links, goals, etc. into the sidebar on the left-hand side of the blog. I have listed all of my weight loss links, goals, etc. into the sidebar on the right-hand side of the blog. The right-hand side also contains the drop-down lists of categories and the archives. If you want to search for anything in my blog, there is a search feature at the very top right-hand side of the blog. In addition to the main page, there are several other pages of interest as well. These can be found in the menu bar across the top of the center column above the most recent blog entry.

I guess that’s everything for now, so welcome to my new blog. This will be the online repository of my hobbies, my weight loss, my random thoughts, and my life. I hope you continue to enjoy it as much as you enjoyed the previous separated versions.
