There she is!....

....Miss Blog-Her Dot Com!

There she is!...

....Featured in FOOD!

(sung to the tune of There She Is, Miss America!)

Talking and telling is what I do best...

Oh Happy Day! What FUN!

What FUN to wake up and see one of my posts is featured on BlogHer!

In the FOOD section...

What a match made in heaven! There is nothing I like better than food and there is NOTHING I like better than to see something I've done in print. I could look at it for hours while savoring each noteworthy detail of my brilliance. And to find a resource like BlogHer.com is nothing sort of a miracle for this author, turned blogger, turned into Featured Food blog-gair...

Oh! Be still my heart...

In the past, commercially available post cards were handy to
show women the proper way to behave and "wear their face."

As a woman, sometimes little affirmation seems to come from anybody. I'm afraid to say much, though, as it's yet to be determined whether the lack of affirmation is a result of lack luster performance or truly gender related. But, I do know how it is to work hard and have little affirmation, going maybe days and weeks without so much as an "atta boy."  Then, to find a welcoming group of accomplished women of all ages and experiences ready, willing and able to write, talk, tell, affirm and get along is a dream come true. And what fun and delight I have experienced since signing up on BlogHer.com in November, 2011, over Thanksgiving weekend.

When women share support for each other,
great things can be accomplished.

I have found BlogHer.com to be the slumber party that never sleeps; the quarterback run to the goal with the crowds in hysterical support that replays without pushing the play button; the Miss America walk down the runway where the roses are always budding, the crown forever sparkly and the swimsuit, eternally the correct size. BlogHer.com is an author's dream come true: a receptive reading audience where the reviews are immediate, the rewards unending and the numbers always spiraling upwards....as long as one posts and comments, giving to get.

Women of any age blossom with love and support.

BlogHer.com is a remarkable group of blogging authors, and I am very proud to be represented on these Internet pages. So, thank you, BlogHer.com, for this recognition and for being there. Whether it is first thing in the morning when I wake to face the day or late at night when I just can't sleep, BlogHer is always there. It is my pleasure to be there for BlogHer as well. I am delighted to be featured on the FOOD page and I thank you!

Much Love, Fondly, Robin

So lovely to read first thing in the morning with my coffee, Sunbonnet. The best thing about BlogHer? Women like you who make it their home and haven. And totally fantastic postcards---the girdle one is the best. xx

Stacy Morrison Hello there, Stacy! Ha-Ha! So glad you "cleared your head" with coffee and me! To me morning coffee time is sacred, so I'll take what you said as a GREAT compliment. Yes! Isn't the girdle card funny? Can you imagine buying it to send? I've been saving it for just the right moment....you all inspire me with all of the love you spread around so freely. What a nurturing environment for so many women. We all need it! Much Love, Fondly, Robin

Wonderful post-- love the postcards. You've expressed so many of my own thoughts, so thank you!

Appreciation can sometimes seem in short supply-- did the world decide to ration it and forget to tell me? We all need it, or we'll shrivel up like an un-watered sunflower.

But not here at BlogHer. We water each other daily! What an awesome group of women!

isthisthemiddle Hello there, Melanie! You have been busy this morning! I can't thank you enough for visiting my web site and for the nice comments. Just love the attention. Makes my day. AND I am glad to see you. I thought you would be away and we would be without you much longer. I am glad to see your smiling face! Now, if we could just find Virginia.... :) Yes! Watered flowers...THAT's truly what we are...and yes! It seems to be in short supply...in OTHER places...Much Love, Fondly, Robin
