If you will kindly indulge me, I want to point out a couple
of features in the side bar. First
of all, if you scroll down and click on the world map, you can see where all the IRL readers
live: 139 different countries (if I counted correctly), and all 50 states plus
the District of Columbia, Armed forces of the Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and
Canada.
This is more fun than collecting states on license plates in
a National Park. I am humbled and
honored that so many of you actually read what I write. I have to agree with
the gal who left me a comment declaring that I have "The Coolest ClustrMap
in Blogosphere!”
Thanks, y’all, for putting dots all over the map.
Secondly, do you see how many different topics I have
discussed over the past couple of years?
Those labels are almost embarrassing; I’m all over the map from A to
Z. Man! (Can you find the new letter I added today?)
Each week I ask myself what on earth I can possibly share
with such a diverse group of readers who literally live all over the
world. Usually an idea pops into
my head, but sometimes not. Those
are the posts I dutifully and apologetically send to the WOTH editor, and then
you amaze me with your comments that are better than what I wrote myself.
This month I am grieving the absence of my dear friend,
Cindy, who has stepped down from her position as the editor at Women of the
Harvest. She was the brain behind
this blog, my motivator, and creative genius behind all the fun graphics and
titles. Now I am on my own with
Cindy on the sidelines providing a dot in Colorado for my ClustrMap.
(In case you missed it, click here
to read Cindy’s last “Letter from the Editor.” You can leave her a note of appreciation there, too, if you
like.)
Because this blog takes a bit more time and effort when I
can’t fall back on Cindy’s creative juices to pull it together for me and find
any grammatical errors, I’d like to appeal to you to provide my occasional blog
fodder. Please? Is there anything you would like to
hear about? Questions you’d like
to pose to this global audience?
I would love to hear from you. Either leave me a comment below, or feel free to send an
email to me at IRL@lokerfam.com with your
“Ask Jamie Jo” type questions.
IRL: Usually
seeing red is an indication of an anger issue, but here “seeing red” brings me
great joy. Thanks again!

Jamie Jo, I love your posts, and how you manage to come up with a great topic every week that we can all relate to is beyond me! You do such a great job with your topics, I hardly know what to suggest.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that comes to mind is that I would enjoy reading some about your real, day to day life? How you handle homeschool, ministry, etc. What a day in the life (or week in the life) of Jamie Jo looks like.
Thanks for your writing!
You are welcome! Thanks for your regular encouragement. I'll consider your request for a "daily life" post sometime in the next few weeks.
DeleteJust so y'all know, I'm shutting off the computer until early next week; it's nothing personal if I don't respond to any comments you might add. :)
