Truth Time, Boys and Girls

First blog photo

I have been thinking about the future and want to get your feedback. After 4 years and 1400 posts, I'm wondering if Island Woman's Culebra should retire. While the sights and stories, to me, are still new and different every day, I'm wondering if, for you, the readers, the same views, the same events, the same fun days and nights might not be becoming too repetitive. It is a small island after all. I have a few faithful blog commenters and a good handful of followers. I hear from a lot more of you via email and on the street; statistics tell me there are readers around the world, so I know you're out there. I'm asking and hoping for thoughts and opinions.

In the BVI's they call New Year's Eve Old Year's Night. Should out with the old and in with the new be something I might think about planning on? If you'd like to see the blog continue or if you think you'd rather not, I'd really like to hear from you!

I know I've been quite frustrated by the lack of a decent camera. Through the generosity of readers via the tip jar, I'm waiting on a new, exciting for me, albeit not sexy, camera. Whether or not I continue the blog, recording daily life won't ever stop for me, and should I continue it, I'd hope to capture photos unavailable to me using the horrible phone camera. But they would still be variations on the continued theme of Culebra and the occasional travels off the rock.

Maybe the events of Friday's horror have just gotten me down. But maybe there is really something to the wondering...like a hostess at a party...are you still having a good time? Should I freshen your drink or should I get your coat?

There was a lot of life going on at the cart! Good days...well, a lot of them were

If I continue the blog, there will be some out with the old. I'll be looking for sponsors. Sponsors who value the things I value and things that hopefully, you, my readers, would value also. Some might not like that. Some might see it for what it is, offering (subtle, not in your face) adverts to people whose products I talk about anyway, use anyway and share already, just in a more formal way...and flat out, a way to increase my income, if they're interested. Crazy idea for one who sits under a palm tree drinking pina coladas day in and night out, but so it goes. Someone's gotta pay for that sunshine.

It's the moments

All quite serious! But please, let me know what you think. I value you, your input, regardless of how it comes in. Humor is welcome. In fact, it would be most welcome indeed!

Yesterday's sunrise...it's all there if we're looking

Have a take it to the top Tuesday! Do something telling.
