What’s with that title?

Many of you are probably wondering where on earth did she get a title like A Little Bit o’ Everything! But, for those of you who know me, especially for those of you who know me well, there’s nothing strange about that title at all. That’s because, when you consider the range of my interests, from art, photography and writing to furniture making and cabinetry, from science and technology to history and biographies, A Little Bit o’ Everything! seems like an appropriate title indeed. In fact, one young man, a student at Tufts University, recently labeled my interests eclectic. I couldn’t agree with him more. How appropriate then, for me to keep a blog for blogs, too, have been labeled eclectic. But, while I admit that my interests are varied, most center on nature, conservation and my concern for the environment.

Okay then, if my interests center around nature or natural history, then shouldn’t the title of my blog reflect those interests alone? Well, that’s probably true because, for the most part, my blog will be about taking a walk in the woods and listening to the sweet sound of a babbling brook. It’ll be about standing on a beach watching the sun rise. It’ll be about the role of art and photography in conservation. And, it’ll include my two cents worth on global warming and climate change. Still, I cannot resist the temptation to digress, and to do so often!

Admittedly, blogging is new to me and my blog is a work in progress! For the time being at least, I plan to include some samples of my woodworking skills. I love medical and science art and I plan to show some samples of that too. I’m also intensely proud of my community and I’d like to mention some of its history and other goings on. Over time though, I’m certain that my blog will become more focused on one or two themes. But, for right now, my blog is an open book!

The real beauty of a blog

The real beauty of a blog, however, is that readers need not be passive. You can make comments that will appear in just a few moments. So, while it may be nice if you agreed with all that I write, certainly, that is no way to achieve growth. I certainly hope that you will be kind, however, even if and when you disagree with my comments or my blogs content. I really look forward to the chance to hear what you think, to learn from your critique. Or, whether you’ve had similar experiences. Or, have the same interests. Whatever comments you’d like to make, I sincerely hope that you will join me on my newest endeavor!
