Why Bookbloom?

For years I have wanted to write as a creative outlet, but never put that desire into action. Then, like many things I do, in the spring of 2009, I plunged in, without the first clue about blogging. I've learned a lot over the years and I'm still learning as I go. But why the name?

By combining two of my favorite things, books and flowers, with my affinity for alliteration and internal rhyme, mixed with the encouragement of dear supportive friends who kept insisting I write, and knowing that writing breathes life into me, My Bookbloom was born. This space reflect bits and pieces of my story — opening and flourishing like a blossom. It is a collection of writings about books, music, food, travel, wisdom, and favorite things.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you'll return often.
