Staring at my blog page for a few minutes this evening, I decided that I wanted to change the look and tailor it more to fit who I am. I went through the choices wordpress offers and frankly I was disappointed. I tried each one and none of them felt like they were making a statement except for the one that is my current background. The only problem that I have with it is that is it green. Now as anyone who knows me, knows that green is one of my favourite colours but it does however contradict with my user name…purplehaze. I would have loved to be able to have changed the green to purple or at least have a choice in background colours. Too bad!

So I would love to hear your thoughts on the ‘new look’ and if you like it.

Until next time,

For the last little while I have been busy studying for an exam that I wrote tonight. I have been filling my brain with information that I not only hoped was going to be on the exam but also be useful information that I may call upon in the future if I need to. I didn’t do overly well on the last exam so the pressure was on to do better this time. I feel that I did do better on this one but I’m still worried so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have always wondered when I study for an exam or test if the method(s) I chose to use are the best ones possible. Thus far, it seems my methods have assisted me well so I am going to continue to use them. I have spoken to numerous people over the years and each person has a different way to study and different techniques that they use, I guess we all have our own little ways.

Anyways, I am just glad the exam is over and I can relax a bit and start focusing on the next one in April.

Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement, I really appreciate it

I am exhausted!!!

Until next time,

I was listening to my music collection last night and I heard a song for the first time and I was amazed as to how well this song captures what I have dealt with and gone through in my life in regards to love. I thought that I would post the song. Although very close to what I have experienced, I am going to edit a few parts of the song to personalize it. I have used brackets [ and ] around words that I have changed or inserted in order to do this.

The song is called “What Is This Love” by Blue Rodeo. I would highly recommend you listen to this song…it is beautiful.

What is this love
That I have [left] behind
How can I turn
From the tears in [my] eyes

What is this world
Where [I] always [believe]

That it is [all] worth it
Worth it in the end

What is this life we share[d]
That I [have] throw[n] away
[Why] is [it] love
That causes so much pain

What is the promise
That I leave behind
Why can’t I
Just lie beside you again

Chorus:
What’s goin’ on
How’d it get so wrong

What is this dream
[I don't think] I’ll ever find
What is this prayer
That’s [still on] my mind
What is this deal
That I’ve just made with fate

And I wonder [to myself]
If I [can continue to wait]

I am very interested in hearing your thoughts on this and your interpretation(s) of what I have just posted.

Until next time,

Hello to all fellow blog writers and to all readers…

I bid you all a happy read and hope you will come back and visit me often Now it’s just finding the time and the material to post to keep you coming back.

So here I go…

Welcome!!!

Every person that decides to begin writing a blog has a reason behind doing so. Here is mine…

I received a text message late last week from a very close friend of mine who indicated that I apparently have a lack of ‘online presence’. Online presence? What is that? To my surprise this friend had googled me to see how often my name came up and he messaged me telling me that there was only one hit. The reason behind him googleing me is a whole other story, one that I may get to in time. However, his comment was quite interesting to me and after a discussion with him I decided to start posting again.

Now you may have thought “again” what does she mean by “again.” Well, many years ago this friend of mine (same as above) and I decided that we wanted to post our thoughts for each other and for others to read and comment on if they wished to do so. We constructed, or should I say he constructed a website where both he and I could separately post comments, stories and internal thoughts that showed up side by side on a website…it was titled “He Said/She Said,” his comments on one side of the screen and mine on the other. It was quite intriguing at the time but unfortunately did not last very long. The reasons behind that? I am trying to remember…

Anyways, the discussion of resurrecting the site was brought up but it became obvious to me that it would be better if I just post on my own and allow for people to read and comment. Managing a website can be very time consuming, so by posting this way neither one of us has to devote much time to managing. Works for me

I now hope that with this venture it will create my second hit when I’m googled and that my ‘online presence’ has now increased…

So here I post again.

Until next time,
