Bloggers~

Jun12

This post, of photos taken in and around Greece, is dedicated to you. Opa!

Creativity is one of the most personally helpful gifts a person can possess.


It gets you through all sorts of negative situations, because it pulls you out of yourself, and your individual worries and concerns.

I think the willingness of bloggers to put their creativity out in the universe, consistently, in a blog, is a huge act of individual human courage.

This individual blogging courage and creativity results in a blogsphere replete with fascinating, absorbing and intriguing blog posts, that offer an improved reading and viewing experience, that is a refreshing alternative to mass media.

Being part of a worldwide community of talented and supportive bloggers broadens our horizons and perspectives, and enhances our lives.

It enables bloggers to form genuine friendships with like-minded people from all over the world.

I wanted to take time to let you know how much I admire and respect you, and how grateful I am to be part of your community.

You make my life, and the lives of so many others, much richer!

So here’s to you, and to the enjoyment you provide to those who look at your blogs!

Cheers to you from The Holler (and Opa to you from Greece!)

  13. Cindy!!!!!! Are you ever at home? Or you are constantly moving is my guess. By the way you did say something about blogging being courageous, I agree….. What am I gonna say that I don’t agree and make you mad, no mam.
    Also another by the way, since through your blog I have visited pretty much every country in the world what is next? You’re gonna have to take me with you, and yes I will take the pictures no worries.

    • You are awesome Charly and you are wonderful to travel with too! We never argue! 😉 😉 I have actually been home at The Holler for two months now. These photos are from my last trip. If all goes according to plan, we leave next to travel far up into the northern arctic on a small ice breaker looking for polar bears and other critters. We will be traveling around Iceland, Greenland and Norway.

  33. Cindy, I agree: I think the willingness of bloggers to put their creativity out in the universe, consistently, in a blog, is a huge act of individual human courage.
    And we meet all sorts of people, who may be like-minded in that they value communication and respect for others, but still have very different experiences, perspectives, and talents.
    I’ve heard blogging is dying but it’s the most vibrant part of the internet for me.

  40. I loved this Greek post with so many interesting features! I have a Greek restaurant across the street from me, the melted cheese slowly warming into a flame using the liquor to enhance the flames and flavor. They say, “Opa!” When the cheese spread is caught on fire! It is really a treat when you dip pita bread cut into triangles.
    The whole set of pictures is impressive! My favorites are the diner in the alley and the arch displaying a golden wall with decorated in color church. xo
    Cindy, have a beautiful summer, dear one! xo 🌞💮
