JulieLeung.com: a life told in tidepools

This weekend at Gnomedex I officially met the talented Steve Garfield. He described to me how his mom, Thoroughly Modern Millie, one of the Internet’s oldest bloggers, had given a presentation on the power of blogging and sharing stories in her life.

Soaking Rhet [found again via Technorati “Bainbridge island” feed] is a new anonymous blog. written by Bainbridge of My Existence describing our community through the eyes of someone who recently moved here from California.

Depending on where you sit on the boat, there are ways you do things.



Local and nationally-recognized poet Kelli Russell Agodon linked to physician and poet Peter Pereira . I noticed his poetry when it appeared in the Seattle Times in 2003 and I look forward to reading his blog. Already I like Let’s Try It On the Dog.

Read the blog for One: the Campaign to Make Poverty History to keep up with Live8 news.

My friend Katherine posted that her mother, also a friend of mine, has started Listening Heart at Home: Life unfolding, working, learning, playing, as I discover who I am today. I’ll be listening to the Listening Heart!
