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 I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’.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.

Mondays with Myrt are Back!

 Photo by DearMyrtle on DearMyrtle Archives I first heard of the news on Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings blog . The details of everything are linked on his blog post. But, I will say the live event will be on YouTube. As opposed to attending live on Zoom and the recording on YouTube afterwards. (And I know it has been live-streamed on YouTube before on occasions but without viewers in the Zoom meeting). Sidenote:  Last year, I noticed her original YouTube channel or account was deleted for some reason, and I couldn’t find a public announcement saying that had occurred. But on her new channel, past recordings are starting to appear, which is great. So she likely archived hundreds of virtual recordings. * Update : I watched a little bit of the replay on Youtube . It was stated by DearMyrtle herself, that she had Daniel Loftus, a panelist, archive her YT videos and deleted her YT channel, it is now slowly re-uploading them again.

Blog Posts That I Am Proud Of

I began blogging five years ago on January 12, 2019. In the last three years, I wanted to write a post about the blog posts I have written that I think are "the best", helpful, thought provoking or just fun. So now I am doing it. Here it is below.
