Happy Sunday! Today I am celebrating my new look, here on the blog. The blog I started on Blogger years ago (2010), featuring my two granddaughters in the snow, shown above…and connections, which formed the expanded version here on Word Press.
When I moved to Word Press, I kept the idea of “connections” going, and changed the name of the blog to Snow Sparks.
Family and social connections are still the heart of this site, so finding a new way to feature those precious granddaughters, while also celebrating all kinds of connections…and snow (a play on my name), kept me trying.
Those two girls are now almost 21. Their birthdays, only days apart, are in February.
Aubrey spent her last college semester in Prague (and surrounding areas), sharing many wonderful photos on Facebook. Here is one of my favorites, “Overlooking Zurich”:

Meanwhile, back in the states, Fiona attended a training program for a year and worked in Yosemite during the summer. Now she has a job in the city, but she is still searching for her true passion. She loves music and writing about music. In this photo, I think she is dreaming about new lyrics:

I know that it took me a few years to find my true passion, and even when I settled into a career that would span thirty years, I didn’t find my true passion until after retirement. Writing and blogging now literally consume my days. Check my website for the books I have written and published. Books I-III; and Books IV-VI.
My blogs page will show the six where I regularly create about my bookish love…and my family connections.

At the beginning of the year, as with two previous years, I chose a One Word (check what I wrote about my 2018 word):

Since CONNECT is my One Word for 2018, it seems appropriate to spotlight it here.
Do you enjoy sharing your connections? Do you share them on a blog, or on Facebook?
