Heavenly Thoughts

Peg Haustetter

What is blog to me? A blog is an organic, interactive, communication tool that lives on the Internet. A blog is the extension of our thoughts, hopes and dreams. A blog helps us get our work done. A blog is: diverse, interactive, relationship-based, addicting, organic, fun!!!!, educational, entertaining, a destination, self-serving, technical, pictorial, communication, creative, informational, an event, public forum, helpful, and much, much more....

I started blogging several years ago with a few of my friends. We blogged about the cool hot spots to hang out in the city, the fashions people were wearing, great restaurants we visited, and our non-existent love-life. We blogged about our careers - interactive marketing project managers, experts in SEO, online advertising, demographic analysis, marketing do's and don't's and website usability. We even blogged about blogging!!

About a year and half ago, I moved from my lifelong home in the Midwest to the west coast to be with the love of my life. My blogging became more of a personal journal of my life's journey. It evolved into a place to share pictures, adventures and experiences with my friends back home. Plus, blogging has satisfied my secret dream of being a writer. I have always wanted to write a novel. I always say "one of these days". So, blogging satisfies that part of my soul. Maybe I will be able to take my blog entries and use them as the basis of a book, who knows.

IF blogs really are all of the things that I listed above, first and foremost they are communication tools. And the key ingredient in blogging "it is powered by PEOPLE"!! We can read each others opinions, expertise, heartaches, accomplishments and we can learn, laugh and experience from each other. It's great!! It's a bridge to each other in a world where we would have NEVER met in person. I love it!! Everyone can be a blogger, everyone can reach out and influence someone else. It's a wonderful world!!
Keep on blogging!
