My First Cyber Exploration

Sincerity in blogging (i.e.,  the willingness to commit time and effort in sharing something online without necessarily expecting something monetary in return) is one of the many insights I gathered  from the first session of the On-line Writing workshop I attended. 


I started this new venture armed with the sincerity and openness to express ( and hopefully exchange!) ideas, emotions, insights and anything under the "clouds." This is my first time EVER to post and publish something online (except for comments in facebook)  not only as a venue for sharing life experiences and reflections but as a possible way of polishing my writing skills. 

Now, why choose the name Wandering Clouds? Hmmm, let me count the "whys" ....

Whenever I get the chance to travel by plane,  I would always prefer to sit by the window so I can see the clouds at close range. It makes me smile to imagine that heaven (and possibly God!) is seemingly a few inches away from me. Most of the insights I get are influenced by my spiritual beliefs, some of which I will be sharing in this blog.

I remember collecting stickers and pictures of my favorite Sanrio characters, Little Twin Stars when I was a child.  The cute  twins were usually seen lying or riding soft, fluffy clouds showing a sense of comfort and pleasure.  With this blog, I hope to share the same positive feelings out of my posts.

As I go through adulthood, I became more aware of the varied roles I play as a daughter, sister, friend and colleague. These can be likened to the many shapes clouds virtually form into.

Now that I 'm going through the early stages of midlife, I've become more sensitive to my emotions which dictate my moods.  Just like clouds, my days can either be dark or sunny. 

I believe that it is in sharing life lessons that growth and maturity is achieved. Would you like to wander with me?
