Revival

A message from Brigid ....

I have been a blogger since 2005. At the height of my blogging busy-ness, I had "a small stable" of blogs on different topics: social and political commentary; desert spirituality; food; waste and ....

A few years ago I called time and ceased blogging altogether - although there was an occasional post. I had called it quits. I am an aged woman these days with a couple of serious illnesses. I am not allowed to drive. I am no longer active in organisations. I think it fair to say that I am housebound. I am active on Facebook, although I am not there as often as once I was. I have decided to embark on a re-entry into the blogging world ... beginning with The Trad Pad and, possibly, a return to my food blog, Oz Tucker. I have always used a lot of photographs on my blogs ... and I miss not being out and about with my camera.

The Trad Pad has been my blog for the lovely things of life. The controversial or political has seldom intruded. Occasionally, the spiritual has found its way in, but I kept spirituality for the blog, Desert. I don't yet know if I will revive that. I will stick pretty much to food and the lovely things of life. If I have some regularity with those two categories, I feel that I will be doing well. I hope that, with this blog new friendships can be formed and old friendships renewed; new lovelies discovered; new reflections can enter into the meaning of modern life. I would love to hear from you - particularly if you have suggestions for new topics to enter into the conversation. So, it is a new year. Let's see what it has in store, what it can bring to us. And I hope that those who share the spirit of The Trad Pad can spread the message of a world of beauty, the creativity of humanity, and the joys of simplicity and tradition. ~~~ February, 2017

The coal miners of Pike River, NZ and their families are in my thoughts

Thinking and praying for those below the ground and those above. 

Peace be to you and may your men come home to where they belong

Gina, thanks for dropping by. I am still around - only I don't get to update here as regularly as I would like. Most of my fading energy goes into The Network which you will find linked at the top of this blog, along with a couple of others.

The thing is, you see, that people who like the beautiful things don't always want to be bothered with the advocacy I do on The Network or the spiritual stuff at Desert or food stuff at Oz Tucker. So I keep these things separate by linking them at the top of each blog.

Glad you are still around to drop by to and I will drop over and pay your blog a visit.

Blessings and bliss
Brigid
