I first started blogging in 2009 during the winter weeks when I rented a cottage by the sea in Maine, an hour and a half from my home. Thus was born <acottagebythesea.net> for those looking for silence, solitude, and simplicity, and who sometimes want to be alone. In early 2011 I started this blog, A Prayer Diary. I wanted to write about prayer, but I wanted to foist my faith life on my blog audience. I was aware that many who might long for the 'the cottage life', might not resonate with my Christian faith and my call to prayer. That decision is still feels like a good one. Each blog has led a separate life, and that will continue.
I've told very few people about A prayer diary. I put it out there on the internet as a free gift offering. In fact, for the most part, that has been true for A Cottage by the Sea. The one difference is they are now noted in the signature at the end of my email. I feel a renewed, or perhaps I should say a new energy to keep blogging, which I can do from my chair in my Angel Room or from Florence, where I'll be next week, praying in churches, visiting museums, enjoying a cappuccino and proving what my mother what's claimed: You can't get a poor meal in Italy.
