Week in Review with Azalea

I had a very busy day on Friday (did work for two clients and I cooked), so I didn’t have time to put up my weekly review. So why not put it up on Saturday night? Enjoy.

On My Blog

Social Media Networking at Central NJ Libraries: I did my first presentation to the Edison Public Library on “Twitter, Blogs and Websites” this past week. As I can say I was very nervous beforehand, afterward I admit I had a wonderful time! Part of it was the supportive group of people with whom I was speaking, and part of it was the great responsive audience.

Mom in Israel hosted KCC; I used it as an opportunity to discuss meat consumption. And I wrote up a recipe for Stuffed Squash with Mushrooms.

Upcoming events in Highland Park/Edison: Thursday night I will be speaking at the Highland Park Public Library. On Tuesday night, related to Israel Independence Day, Rick Black will be reading poetry at the Highland Park Public Library. And Wednesday is the annual walk around the block by RPRY in Edison for Yom Ha’atzmaut, so I suspect I will be taking pictures of children wearing blue and white and waving Israeli flags.

You have one of the most diverse blogs going...

Michelle, thanks for saying so. That is actually one of my topics for my talk (which is supposed to be only ten minutes long).

"Does a blog need to be about a specific topic?"
As you can tell from this past week, I would have great difficulty doing so. So instead of fighting my desire for diversity in topics, I make it a feature.

I think that variety is one of the things people enjoy about your blog.

Happy Yom HaAtzma'ut!
