Family Diaries and Documents
Recently I've heard from several people who have diaries, journals, poetry and other documents from ancestors. Let's share what treasures we have, what they teach us about ourselves, and how we can use them as the basis for our own writing.

After spending August establishing my new habit of writing for an hour in the morning before going online, I spent some time yesterday thinking about what I want to do for September. I'm grateful to a couple of authors whose books have guided me in this area.

And the green freedom of a cockatoo
Upon a rug mingle to dissipate
The holy hush of ancient sacrifice.

Cara Lopez Lee said… - I'm flattered to receive a friend request from someone so accomplished, Lisa. I was fascinated by your blog on "Everyday Intensity." I mentioned it to my husband, and it gave him a laugh, since many people would call me "intense." However, I didn't quite fit the list of requirements. Phew. They WERE intense. :) Looking forward to connecting with someone so keyed into intellectual pursuits. I will warn you however, my writing might be a shock to someone with one-time aspirations to get herself to a nunnery!

- Lisa,
been meaning to give my vote on web/blog layout--thought I'd do it here at last! I prefer the layout of your current site--I tend to like a layout with images, etc, so the calendar snippet posting is less appealing to me, though I can understand it gives someone a better idea of a greater number of posts at a glance. Hope that helps....

I grew up in central Illinois, but my grandparents and four aunts and uncles lived in South Dakota. Every other year we'd spend a week on the family farm 30 miles west of Faith, but I haven't been back since my grandmother died in 1987. I feel much closer to South Dakota through my Dad's diaries and memoirs than I did by visiting.
