So it seems my biggest issue with blogging right now is that I don't know HTML and cannot make this blog mine. Voice for the Voiceless will primarily be a blog about animals, sheltering and occasionally some personal stores such as the Thanksgiving performance. But I have no idea how to make it look like that as I never took web design. Any suggestions?
My other blogging issue is that when I blogged before, I put A LOT of pressure on myself to blog regularly so it became more of a job than a hobby, so I am going to try to avoid that stress this time around. If I have a story to tell, I want to tell it. If I don't have a story, I don't want to blog to say "Hey, nothing happened today!"
This blog has changed names and substance off and on for years (apparently I can only have one passion at a time). It started out as knitting, moved to church, progressed to weight loss (I probably need a new one on weight gain) and now we move to animals.
The thing of it is that animals have always been my passion. As a young child, I was annoyed by Barbie and her friends of preppy, skinny perfection. I did, however, collect stuffed animals. Dogs were my favorite, but I also had cats, a beaver, an otter, dolphins and orcas, a large horse, and others too numerous to mention. When we had to create a journal in the 6th grade, I traced a dog on the cover of mine and it was all about our Cocker Spaniel, Cindy. I collected the Beyer horses and had the stable. My favorite books of choice were dog stories, The Black Stallion series and other animal related stories.
In 2003, I enrolled in the Veterinary Assistant course at the local college and finished with a B. Finally, I am in a dream job at an animal shelter and hope to never have to work in any other field again. I will never get rich in money working there, but it has made me rich in so many other ways. I love working with fearful dogs to help them gain confidence and eventually go home. I love connecting with other animal people in my community because I feel we are all in this together. I love going to work and when I am off work, I am checking our Facebook page, networking or something.
So, in a nutshell, that is where this is all heading, Hopefully, I will continue but if someone can help me feel more at home here, that would be very appreciated!
