It's called Blogger now, but I was there when it was Blogspot. My web address still reflects that.
So much has changed in my life since then. My life has certainly not followed the trajectory I had planned, but that's ok. I couldn't have imagined where my life is now.
My husband left, but I found a life partner in Ivy. The kids have all grown and mostly moved out, and now the grandkids come to visit. I am not a teacher or professional artist, but I do have a job with people I love to support, occasionally get to teach an artistic class, and I create art I love making instead of feeling I need to hustle it. While I don't own a multi-story Victorian with a gazillon rooms, I do own the property I live on, and am slowing making it the home of my heart.
And today, as my blogger turns 20, I turn 56. As I said on my Patreon, "Mostly it doesn't feel like I could be over 50. But sometimes I catch myself in the mirror and am surprised." But I have a had a blog for over 20 years -- this blog, I wrote on other platforms before this one -- of course I'm old. And it beats the alternative! ^o^
