Wanted To be in Touch
So, my focus was on my family, and I really didn't want to get pulled into it. Spaces and things like that, which weren't a thing back then, but the reason started a blogspot when I was 17 years old is when. My granddaughter had an emergency C-section.
My first grandchild was born, and I wanted to be in touch with the people in Europe that I had met in Austria.
She made an Austrian and disconnected the world with this preemie micro preemie at 25 weeks that was. She's 16. I just got to hug her last week. They live, they travel all around the world, and you know, life is amazing. I have 8 grandchildren now.
So I did it as a way to connect with the people that I love and actually for the baby's sake, for my grandchildren's sake and then did that first season and then.
You know, and then I did another one, realising I wanted to share the health tips. So it became an online journal for me back then. And then I did, I did get a fake book account, I call it, just to peek at my kids who were active with it, especially after the divorce.
And it was a neat way to just, you know, see them from the sidelines and see what they were doing and cheer them on. 'Cause they don't, you know, they don't want their kids in their space, you know, sometimes. And that's cool, we can watch.
And so then that move to 20. A friend of mine sent me a post that really intrigued me on Twitter. And I thought, hmm. And she kept telling me about Twitter. And that was 12 years ago. When you know. And finally, 10 years ago, this one post that I still have, and I started reposting it a lot, it was the definition of grace, which is my pen name and the website somebody gave to me a year before.
So my pen name became Grace
