“Trace Elements”

http://www.skidmarksontheside.blogspot.com

I blog because I write. It’s the way I process life. It brings me life, and helps me sort through all the ins and outs.

I started blogging in spring of 2006.

I am a mom of 4 and a nurse and a worship leader and a youth pastor and a writer. My elderly parents live with me. I have a passion for creativity in all different forms. I love to cook, paint, and write music. What category does that put me in? My blog currently has excerpts of my novel but I write about all kinds of things - life, kids, relationships, etc. I just want to be real.

too many to list…

blogger.com is completely user friendly and you don’t have to have a degree in computer science to run it!

I love comments!

Almost all of them!

I take my laptop everywhere! I maintain 3 blogs and 2 websites. I check on things daily and try to post on each of my blogs a couple times a week.

maybe 4 - 6 hours / week?

no, mostly I find them on my own or from comments by others on my friends’ blogs.

at a conference and then from my kids.

I don’t remember

Passionate emotion. Real, transparent relationships.

Among the many hats I wear I am also an author who writes fiction (under a pen name) Therefore I have an author’s blog, an author’s website, and a website for my latest novel. I also maintain / moderate a team blog for our youth group.
