Hello World! I Love My Flag Counter Widget!

Hello World! I Love My Flag Counter Widget!

One of my ideas when I started this blog was that I wanted to create an international community.  I envisioned a community of moms, humanitarians, travelers, and thinkers who could help each other to understand our world, and each other better through our variety of experiences.  When I had set out to become a documentary filmmaker long ago, before becoming a mother myself,  my desire had been to share images between cultures through film. In travel I was always amazed to be able to communicate with people with whom I did not have a common spoken language. In some instances we did not even share cultural references, yet were able to convey stories and information through gestures in a way I am unable to fully articulate.  I love hearing other peoples stories, everyone has a story, and my hope is to hear other people’s stories through this blog.   I was so excited when I came across the flag counter widget, and that it would show me where my visitors were coming from. Viewing the countries around the world from which people have visited my site makes me feel like I am traveling in a sense.  If you scroll down the right side of my home page you can see too.  How many flags do you recognize?

HELLO Bangladesh! HELLO China! HELLO, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Russia, and India! WELCOME Germany, United Kingdom, and Canada! I hope to see you all again soon, invite your friends!  I would love to see our global community grow, and hear from you!  You’ve gotten to know a bit about me on my blog….now tell me about you, I’m so curious!  What do you do in your country?  If you are a mom like me, what is motherhood like where you are raising your kids? What were you doing before you had kids? I would truly love to know!

The Flag Counter Widget is easy to install, just go to the site, grab the code, and see who from around the world is visiting YOU!
