Who's reading CreativeWoman (613):
I'm sort of an old timer at SC and I haven't been as active as I used to be.   I've been noticing that there are a lot of new bloggers on the featured page.  I thought it might be nice to introduce ourselves...new and old.

I'll go first.

I'm CW.  I'm a woman in my 40's and I live on a farm.  I came here to SC to blog well over two years ago.  In the beginning I blogged a lot about my relationship. It's been one of the great disappointments of my life.  In the time I've been here, I think I've grown as a person.  I've found a bit of confidence that wasn't there before, or maybe it was but it was hidden. 

I've blogged about my grief over losing an 8 year old niece in an accident and my younger brother to cancer. Then I've also blogged a lot about my own health.  Last year I was diagnosed with diabetes after an 11 day hospital stay that included a toe amputation.  It was a very dark time in my life.  My friends here at SC helped to pull me through that more than any of them realize.

These days I don't blog here quite as regularly as I used to and I miss it.  I've also got two other blogs going on other sites that are income sources for me.  So they've been getting most of my attention. 

I have never claimed to be perfect here.  I have blogged with raw emotion many times.  I find myself holding back a little these days and I'm not too sure why that is.  Part of me probably feels a little exposed and I fear being judged.  I'm human.

My blog has always been about the real me.

And as you can tell, I tend to ramble when I get started writing.  :-)

Would you like to introduce yourself?

    Good evening CW,and ..............Paper - I am glad that you are BOTH back.
    I think the both of you know me,and I am in the process of trying to put a few posts together at the moment about my life's little journey - so I dont know if I should say too much.
    I came here cos I was looking for somewhere where i could just say what I wanted to say,and if anyone wanted to listen then that was great.
    But now I realise that this is a place where one can come and be themselves and not risk being judged by others.I think I let it get to me in the beginining - but now I am not really worried who said or thought what about me.I have made some real friends on this site.(incl yourselves) I would go on an name them,.but they know who they are.Most of them,if not all of them,have changed my life in some way - for the better.I was born 38 years ago with a debilitating back condition.I have lived with it and its consequences all my life.In Jan next year - I am going for an op to have it fixed,and it will change my life forever.
    But,that being said.I look at my own case and look at others - yourself included CW and mine look small in comparison.I realise that your other two blogs are important to you - but please dont stray too far away...

  • magicwishes said on Oct 16, 2008....
    Hi, I am new here, and new to blogging altogether.  I am a 51 year old woman, who has lived the past 8 years secluded in my room. Depression, anxiety, all affects from living with alcoholics all my life. I am finally medication free, and ready to start living again. Just unsure how to go about it. Hope to meet some of you on here.
  • MissMimi said on Oct 17, 2008....
    Welcome, magicwishes and FableJ.  :)
     
    My name is MissMimi or mimi or meems or sex godess of the known universe (okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration); I'll answer to most anything.
     
    I have no idea what to write.  I'm in my fifties, but I refuse to say mid-fifties.  There's humor to be found everywhere, and I don't mind being the butt of my own jokes.
     
    I've been married since God was a kid, and I live with a relatively housebroken husband and the crabbiest cat in the world.
     
    Nice to meetcha, CDub.  ;)

    greetings to all, I am Mamie...I am quiet these days but whatev....happily strolling through and busy doing my thing... welcome to newbies, you will have fun here!
  • queenparanoia said on Oct 17, 2008....

    this is a great idea cw!!!

    my name is queenparanoia or queenie or queenp or qpdoll for trav or kewpie fom missmimi.. hehehhe i got a lot of nicknames from fellow soulcasters...

    i'm 22 years old (one of the youngest ) but i blog in soulcast for almost two years now. i'm from the philippines living in manila.

    i blog a lot on soulcast. i mainly joined because i was depressed over the death of my friend three years ago. and writing it out in here helped me move on. over the years in soulcast, soulcasters saw me grow, cry, rant, be stupid, quit school, give up, move on, let go, love, be loved, dream, everything... and i'm happy  that soulcast is part of my life. this is a community of people that help each other out, critisize, sometimes fight.. but in the end we all share a part of ourselves here...

    i blog about everything... love, sex, being a virgin, crazy rants, funny dances, my country, my culture, everything.. this is a blogging site where you could learn from each other...

    and yes there is no holding back (although sometime i hold myself back cuz i tend to get scared when i am judged) but i showed myself here more than in real life...

    i'm warning to newbies... soulcast is addicting... i'm one of th soulcast addicts...

    but you know what... it's all damn worth it... ;-)

    keep on blogging!!!

  • Saturnalia said on Oct 17, 2008....
    What I can say is this - don't be afraid to show your raw emotion. I have found that my best blogs are the ones where I bear all in the most vulnerable position I can have. Those posts tend to be the ones that draw the most attention and have the best responses. Don't be afraid to show yourself - it seems that SoulCast and Blogging has been your vehicle of expression for so long, so keep it going. You'd be surprised how cathartic it can be to face your fears and actually expose yourself to a room full of strangers.

  • starchini said on Oct 17, 2008....
    Hi,  Im starchini!  Been here over a year now.  My life has done a complete turn around in so many ways.  I am so not the person i was when i came here.  I love all you guys and in many ways are the closest friends ive ever had.  Uve helped me through some wicked hard times and i appreciate you all.  Every one is so gosh darn special!  : P  Oh and for newbies who are curious, im 21, newly engaged and newly pregnant.  Welcome to my rollercoaster ride.  3 months ago I was flying by the seat of my pants partying as much as i could and taking nothing seriously, pretty much grabbing life by the balls...now look at me...lmfao!!!  ITS CRAZY!!!  Hopefully i still have plenty of ball grabbing left in me. 
  • Psych-ed said on Oct 17, 2008....

    Hi CW, I'm a 26 year old elementary school teacher from Napa, CA (that should explain some of rants, a little too much wine lol) and new to SC. I have been married for two years now but still consider mysel a newly wed, just because everything about this is new to me.

     I stumbled upon SC by accident when I was looking for a place to blog. I've journeled since I was 10 but a good friend of mine suggested that I blog so I'm giving it a try.

    So far I love SC and look forward to the times when I can sneak away to it :-). Thank you CW for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself! 

  • pusscat said on Oct 17, 2008....
    What a brilliant idea for a post CW :-))

    I am a 41 year old female submissive in the UK.  I am the team secretary for a Mental Health Team, and absolutely love my job with a passion.  I joined SC July 07 when it was pointed out to me by my former Dominant. That relationship did have to end but we are still the best of friends.  I am currently owned by my Dominant (and for the record theeeeeeee One :-) and am constantly growing under his care, love and guidance (and shit loads of patience LOL!)

    I have made what I consider to be some real friends here.  I have cried at and with many.  I have supported and been supported by many.  I have laughed at and with many.  This is such a great place to bare ones soul.  My best friend of over 27 years, lioness, is also here.

    To all the Newbies - WELCOME :-))
