Expanding my horizons

After moving to a new location, which I love, I am expanding my horizons to include information research and technology in general. There are so many things one can do with a MLS other than work in a library.

I have learned that my passion is for information in various forms, not just books. I tend to get more of my information about the world from my online connections and databases than anywhere else and this became very apparent for me when I lost my computer to that dreaded blue screen and did not have access at home.

So, now that I am back online I will be changing my blog, website and other information out here in the online world. I think I am going to go to word press with a different format. To those who follow this blog, sorry I have been gone and I will be working hard in the next few weeks to get up to speed.

Books and Reading

I recently went to a retreat and during the getting to know you part, people were asked their hobbies. I thought to myself "who has time for hobbies?" Then I heard someone say reading. It hadn't occured to me, it was more like "Oh, reading. Well, reading is my life!"

It was funny because I do not think of it as a hobby. It is part of my life, who I am and I can not image my life with out books and the ability to read each and every day. I usually have 3 or 4 books going at a time, sometimes audio too. I try to mix it up and I read a bit of everything. Currently I am listening to Ask and It Is Given, and reading Eat, Pray, Love, and What Color is Your Parachute?.
