Welcome to Lightening's Blogworld! A place where I blog about all things blogging, including blog reviews! I am a BLOG ADDICT. I'm happy to admit that. I'm also something of a blogging "newbie" and not really technical at all. LOL. But I am learning a few things as I go and I might just share them here. I figure if I can do them anyone can. Plus, it could be a helpful place for me to return when I can't remember how I did something and want to do it again! LOL.

Being a blogging addict, I have more than 1 blog. In fact this is only 1 of 3 blogs.My main blog can be found at
Lightening Online . This is where I blog about all things "me". In fact "me" is the only common theme really. You'll find a variety of thoughts ranging from life as a mum, frugality, simple living, gardening, craft projects and who knows what else.

I also write another blog called
For I Know The Plans I Have For You which is a more intimate blog detailing the spiritual side of my life.

Why keep them all separate? Apart from the fact that I may send my readers nutty if I continually post multiple posts on my main blog? I respect people's right to choose what they spend their time reading. I hope some of my readers will read all 3 blogs. But others may choose to only read 1 or 2. I hope by separating them like this, it makes that easier to do so.

I hope you enjoy this blog and come again soon!

Help a Complete Stranger

Veronica over at Sleepless Nights has set up a fund to help a 13 year old friend of hers go on a school trip to Japan. Not just any trip, but one where the students had to earn a place to go. Only 10 students from her year level are able to go and she is one of them. What an honour and what an opportunity for her.

If you'd like to do something for someone you haven't met without expecting any return, this is a great opportunity. The trip is costing her $1600 plus spending money. All it would take is 1600 bloggers to donate $1 each. Or 320 bloggers (or blog readers) to donate $5 each. What's $5 these days? It won't even buy you coffee and cake (some places it won't even buy you one OR the other).

Let's show this young girl the power of the blogging world. Let's do this for no other reason than that we can! :-) Go on, make someone smile today!

Oh, and anyone that donates can place this lovely picture on their own blog:
