Lisa's Collection is my spare-time project aimed at organizing my other spare-time projects.
I do quite a bit of online writing in my spare time, and over time I found I had quite a bit of material that wasn't organized very well. So, I decided to start Lisa's Collection. Because I write on a variety of subjects, however, I realized that posting it all one one blog would mean it would still not be well organized. For that reason, I decided to make this site a "hub" site, from which material focusing on specific subject areas can be found at the links provided. This site is my "miscellaneous writing" site because most efforts at organizing tend to require one "miscellaneous" group for whatever it is one is organizing.
This site is still relatively new (at least in terms of content); so feel free to browse, but I my feelings won't be hurt if you click away to find something more interesting. My aim, in starting this site, has been to first post articles, essays, and opinions - and later post less formal material
In the meantime, welcome. I appreciate your visiting and hope each and every guest here finds at least a little something of interest.
Other spare-time projects include:
On Adoption - Love, Lisa
No Senior Coffee - A blog for "Boomers"
Lisa Light - Humor, Fluff and General Foolishness
(The lighter, brighter, side of being a woman)
Lisa's Children's Corner (Parents, Kids, and Education)
Drunk Driving - An abbreviated blog with a message
Dabblings in Verse - (Not Quite Poetry, But I Try)
Poverty Theory - (Addressing the causes of, and issues associated with, poverty and fixed-income living)
Lisa's Exploding Head - Aggravating Small Stuff of Life
Blogging on Blogging and Writing Online - My Ever Expanding Journey into Online Writing
The Sins of Massachusetts - Lisa's Story
I often say that writing isn't always about just getting the words down, or out, or even read. It is about pulling from the universe just the right number and combination of words and allowing them to join hands to come to life.
It is my hope that I have, in some small way, managed to make at least a few words come to life - and if not, then I hope, at least, I've managed to capture a little of life in the words and other material I've posted on this site and on its "sister sites".

Just A Note About Blog Titles
Not long ago I was reading advice about naming blogs. The individual, who clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to blogs, mentioned that people shouldn't give their blogs and "ego title" (which includes the person's name, rather than a less personal, more-to-point-about-the-theme, title). Of course, this advice was directed at anyone who hopes to earn money with his blog.
I cringed a little, though, because some of my blogs have "ego" titles. The thing is, though, it was not my ego at the root of my choice for some of the "Lisa" blogs I have.
When I started putting together blogs as way of finding a home for a lot of the writing I'd already done (with the plans of further developing them later), I wasn't particularly thinking of earning money from them. I was thinking of finding some way to organize my writing in what I hoped was an attractive "environment" that gave me the freedom to later add whatever I wanted to add.
Names like, "No Senior Coffee" and "Storm Clouds and Wind Chimes" just kind of came naturally. Then, though, I had some writing that only loosely fit into "categories", and I realized I had to come up with some cohesive name for each of those "categories". I was thinking almost in terms of names for file folders when I created the names, although, because blogs have a public nature, I thought I'd try to add something "catchy" to titles that were essentially "file folder titles".
So, along with the titles mentioned above, and along with "Blogging on Blogging" and "Dabblings in Verse", I have a whole lot of "Lisa" titles - "Lisa's Collection", "Lisa Light", "Lisa's Christmas Card", and on and on and on. I knew when I created the titles they wouldn't particularly be searched for by the public. My aim, though, wasn't really to have people search for them (in view of the fact that I wasn't try to make money with them). The plan was to direct readers to the blogs from other writing sites where my name is associated with my writing. In other words, all I wanted to do was categorize and make available my writing. I wasn't looking to become a famous Internet "presence" with it.
When I saw someone refer to personal-name titles as "ego titles" I did cringe because it occurred to me that anyone who sees some of my blogs may assume it was ego at the root of some of the titles. It wasn't, and I don't want anyone thinking it was. The "Lisa line" of titles is only a matter of "file-folder" thinking, as well as my disregard for whether or not anyone finds the sites without being directed to them by me.
I know that addressing this can come across as "defensive" of me, and that nobody really cares how or why I came up with any particular title. It isn't intended to. It's just that I'm "so-at-the- opposite-end-of-egotistical" it does kind of bother me to think that anyone - even a stranger - would believe it was ego at the root of some of the titles.
