Getting Started

Hi! I’m Mimi, and this is my blog. As you will soon see, I know nothing about blogging, and very little about any aspect of the internet other than how to search, find, and shop. But since I am pretty good at searching, and I’m interested in a lot of the things many of you are interested in, I figure I may be able to put my searching and information gathering skills to good use and share what I find with others in the process.

My biggest quandary in deciding to start a blog was figuring out what to blog about, since I have a wide range of interests. I finally was able to narrow down those interests to a few broad categories: making things as easy as possible, living a simple life, and living as close to nature as possible. Hence the name of the blog – easysimplenature.

Some of my interests are (in no particular order) organic gardening; cooking, especially vegetarian/vegan cooking; herbal medicines; and all aspects of health and nutrition. These are the topics I plan to highlight (at least to start with) on this blog. If you’re interested in these or similar topics, let me know about it. I’ll share the information I have gathered, and I’ll welcome your sharing too. I have only a few rules for the blog:

• Treat each other with common courtesy and respect.
• No profanity (I have grandchildren reading this!)
• Don’t clog the blog – with comments/discussion threads that have nothing to do with topics on he blog.
• Keep in mind that this blog is not meant to be a comprehensive site for any one topic, but merely a jumping off point to allow for sharing of information. If you want a more intense discussion of any topic, check out the links that will be added as the blog progresses.
• Since it’s my blog, I reserve the right to change the rules as I see fit, and to delete comments, etc that do not fall within the rules (or more importantly, the spirit) of the blog.

I think that’s quite enough for the first posting. I’ll try to add more to the blog weekly, so be patient with me, and please visit often to check my progress and add helpful commentary.

Love to all,
Mimi
