About five years ago or more, that is a century or two ago, in blogging years, I met Shayna, former blogger of My Music Highway, who is now  at Ordinary Miracle

Blogging was different then.  It was more fun, at least for me.  We were making it up as we went along.  No rules meant no structure that had to be followed. There were a large group of us, each different in style and subject, who commented and encouraged one another.  There were times it felt revolutionary.  Other times like college or first jobs right after.

I don’t remember exactly how I met Shayna but I remember she introduced me to worlds I hadn’t known before–soldiers who were actually in Iraq, for one.

What it was like to grow up musical in Nashville.  I always did love the worlds of the South.

You could call Shayna a mommy blogger as she had one baby son then and later had another. You can’t help but love Shayna’s boys.  Her son Will turned six the same day my niece turned sixteen, 9/19. and both have grown up a bit too fast.  Shayna involves you in her family but in the sweetest and most protective of ways.

But to call Shayna a mommy blogger would be to do a disservice to an incredible person who can’t be categorized.

She’s compassionate, bright, beautiful, a musical talent and a wonderful writer who puts you in the moment of her stories.

I had a blogging accident today and contacted Shayna and ended up with the template of my dreams.

Welcome to the new and way improved, Courting Destiny.

We thank you Shayna and hope you’re coming back to the blogging world but so understand if life keeps you too busy.

And we love you
