Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Your "Other" Hobbies or Pastimes

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1) What hobbies or pastimes other than "genealogy" do you have now or had in the past as an adult?

4) Write about it in a blog post on your own blog, in a Facebook post, or as a comment on this blog post.

I have a few hobbies, besides genealogy. I like music, writing, crafting, digital media, and reading.

Music - I love the arts, especially music. I play the cello. In the future, I hope to learn how to play many more instruments, but one is good right now.

Writing- This is probably obvious since I write a blog, but writing is something I like to do. I have kept a digital journal on my tablet for two years now - close to three in September - to document day to day life and my feelings about things. Recently, I have gotten interested in poetry. I have watched several videos about beginning poetry and taken a free course on FutureLearn.

Crafting- I have been crafting since I was eight years old. I use to like to make miniature things for my toys, but I stopped because I didn't have an interest for it anymore. Currently, I like paper crafting. Making items like junk journals and photo albums is something I like to do. At times, I use Photoshop to create vintage digital collage sheets to possibly sell on Etsy.

Reading- My favorite genre is historical fiction. I haven't been reading lately, so I need to do D.E.AR.

Thanks for reading,

Intentions & Reflections

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ? Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience, even when inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
