Wow! II

There has been much success from this blog, in the short amount of time I've had it. However, The Wizard of Oz was not the only inspiration for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Journey of a Catholic Poster Girl, a blog that you can link to from mine, did and still does inspire me. I am a catholic, myself, and are always looking for ways to spread the word of God. What better way to do so then start a blog?
I encourage everyone to please visit the blog, Journey of a Catholic Poster Girl, it inspired me and I guarantee it will inspire you, too!

Wow!

What my blog has become in just six months is more then I could've ever imagined. What started out to be a simple journal has turned into a place for poems, a home for humor, and a blog we can all call, Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

I also changed the template since I'm going with this "brand new" theme. I really do believe in my heart that this blog has come a long way, it not being up for a year yet, and still having so many posts and so many surprises on the sidebar.

My original purpose of this blog was to use the Wizard of Oz along with some of it's morals, and build from there, and I have; but I've also realized that even though books will start and end, it doesn't mean after you've finished them you should forget them. Creating this blog helped me to not forget The Wizard of Oz, even if I not actually going to read the story or watch the movie anytime soon.

So, as a writer and a reader I challenge you to never forget the books you read, even if you don't remember all the details.

Jitterbugs

Just thought you might want to know...

Jitterbugs are dancing bugs that were in the original screen play of The Wizard of Oz, but were later taken out. They meet Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man and Lion after they have visited the Wizard of Oz, and he tells them that they need to get the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West, and right before the flying monkeys come swooping down to capture Dorothy. They are important to the story line because their dancing causes Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man, and Lion to start dancing until they have danced so much, and are so tired, that they fall to the ground in exhaustion, making it very easy for the flying monkeys to scoop Dorothy off of the ground and fly her to the Witch's castle.
