Gifts of blogging
My xanga blog is Northern Meanderings, initiated back in 2003 when I started to do some casual social work in Nunavut. The lovely thing about this blog is the links I have had to other northern bloggers ( see the side link ) many of whom I have met in person. It has opened up a different world of friendships, new awareness on Inuit culture, amazement of the vastness and beauty of the Canadian arctic, as well as the political and economic issues in Nunavut, Canada's newest territory.With my cross country ski accident in Pangnirtung in April. I have been literally GROUNDED in Edmonton for the summer and fall, with recovery hope to be back in the north in 2011.
One of my interests in Edmonton is a monthly creative writing circle I share with a number of other women. In light of that interest and my fear that it may be a while before I will head north again, I am experimenting with a new blog site, primarily for some of my writing pieces.New writing blog is titled simply Northern Musings....http://rlypayne.typepad.com But have to admit I do like the options of loading photos on Typepad.
So if you have time drop by and offer a comment.

I went to your another site, Bonnie, and saw the Dandelion , the " sorbier des oiseaux " with its red fruits and the superb dogs . However I didn' t leave comments because this is linked to facebook or twitter and I don' t want to use those sites . I am on facebook and don' t use it at all.
