Estrogeneration

One of the ways I procrastinate writing discover new blogs, is by mining Technorati for writers with similar themes to mine. Last week a search on "menopause" brought me to this blog, written by a woman who is currently doing the same saliva test thang I did a few months ago. Susan's writing is smart and funny, so I figured I'd check out the blogs she reads, beginning with this one. I was not disappointed. And as if I hadn't already exhauasted my laugh supply for the day, who could resist a blog titled, Granny Gets A Vibrator?  Not me.

I left Granny's place to visit her link to Twisty, where I spent no less than an hour reading through the archives of one bad-assed woman on a mission to expose patriarchy. Her writing cuts through the bullshit straight to the bone. I would not want to be on the dark side of this woman's moon, folks. Thank goodness she's on our team.

I can't remember where I went after that, because I ended up following one blog to another, like a lovely bridge leading through a forest of fresh stories. I not only lost track of my path, but also my original thought--on which this post was meant to wax prolific. Guess you'll have to settle instead for a little blog-meandering of your own. Trust me, it's worth the trip.

Aren't you a peach! 'Smart and funny'...I love it and I'll take it.

Now, do you think I can make a living at this?

I often do the same sort of blog wandering, but I have bookmarked and make sure i make REGULAR visits to Granny Gets a Vibrator, because it ALWAYS makes me laugh and it always gives me hope that strong women do have happy stories.

Thanks for the additional links. I will peek around.

I managed to land here for the first time today, and my route was so meandering as to be untraceable. I am delighted to find you are the author of a book I've had on my bookshelf for quite a while. - I buy anything I see on Amazon with Journal in it, so have had Journalling from the Heart here, and find it a wonderfully inspiring and creative resource. Thank you. .... And your blog! - So many topics that resonate for me. Thank you again, again!

El,

Thanks for the links. I have had some trouble reaching the Twisty one (damn computers), but certainly enjoyed the others and will try again. As many blogs as there are out there, it is not a simple thing to find one that grabs and keeps my attention and touches my heart so that I want to revisit it. So I appreciate yours as well as your directions to others you've found worth reading.
