Hey, there, everyone. Welcome to Finding Wonderland! As always, I’m so glad to have you drop by and if this is your first visit, hi. Thanks for hanging out. Instead of the usual monthly wrap up, I’ve been doing a two-month mingle of things, which leads to today’s July and August 2021 blogging rewind.
LIST | SOME FAVORITE PERIOD DRAMAS FROM THE LAST TEN YEARS
Here we are, bidding adieu to eight months of 2021! Cannot believe this, but regardless, let’s do this thing.
»NEW DISCOVERIES AND SUCH«
1: Cancel Culture. So. I said some things on Instagram about Cancel Culture and I just want to say, thanks to everyone who had kind things to say.
2: Music. Last time I mentioned how much I was enjoy the song ‘My God is Still the Same.’ I’m certainly on a Christian music kick again (I used to listen to it exclusively), and want to know: what tunes in that genre or artists do YOU recommend?
3: Ten Years. August tenth marked ten years for this space. I’m grateful, sad and unsure about this all in the same weird bundle of nerves or questions, or something. But while I don’t know what this will mean for the future, we have been celebrating these ten years here (a lot!) all through August. I didn’t intend to take it all the way through August, but I “had” to for the fun of it.
What I do want to say is this; thank you to everyone who left a kind comment about the ten years. I appreciate this. Thank you to anyone who has been with me for most of those ten years, and if you’re a newbie, hello and welcome. Please, do comment and introduce yourself, or join the conversation. I’m glad you’re here.
