New Site. New Look. Welcome to Blatherings with Terry


Hello friends! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve blathered. Time for a quick update and a little blogging biz.

Some of you reading this post may be loyal subscribers + followers of ColorMeLyme and/or The Blathering Housewife. Others are perhaps newbies. To all — welcome to my new blogging digs!

I shared a teaser on social media recently about a shuffling + website “construction” project happening within my blathering-sphere. To help bring everyone up to speed and fill in any gaps, let me share a pithy-ish “what’s up”.

A little over a year ago I added The Blathering Housewife into my blogging mix, with sincere intentions of interjecting an occasional non-illness + fun-ness vibe. I truly enjoyed playing around with these blathering snippets. Unfortunately, upbeat “fun” thoughts didn’t pop out of my brain as often as hoped. Reality is such that illness + healing + setbacks remain front and center — “temporarily”, even though we’ve been idling in “temporary” status for quite a while. Hoping to re-kickstart this body’s healing process, yet again — soon. (I’m such a constant work in progress! But, aren’t we all.) Will share more on illness + healing + new treatment plans in a future post.

Anywho…

Creativity + free flowing thought can be minimal when feeling poopified. (yep, non-technical medical speak: still an added bonus. You’re welcome!) Spare energy to share even the occasional puff piece has been nonexistent. Simply a minor bump, in blogging and in life! (… and, such a first-world “problem”, yes?!)

To help nudge my creative juices along + lessen the (self-induced) pressure to maintain two separate blogs (… and, because I’m a “very stable genius”… 😂🤣), melding ColorMeLyme and The Blathering Housewife together under one cyber-land roof seemed like the prudent thing to do.

Thus, a new blog baby has been born: Blatherings with Terry — (www.terrymmayfield.com).

(In a non-creepy way) think of Blatherings with Terry (BwT) as the love child of ColorMeLyme and The Blathering Housewife — illness + healing + Lyme disease resources + observational opinions + sassy sarcasm. All things life from the perspective of this blathering-Lymie-housewife. Basically, more of the same with a splash of newness.

BwT is definitely in the infantile stages, with much tweaking to happen over time. That’s part of the fun: creating + tweaking. Unless I overthink + obsessively tweak, which is a slight (okay, probable) possibility! Good news is I’ve got a guy (hubby) who’s got a guy (thanks Brian!) to help with the “heavy lifting”. I blather. I don’t do computer speak.


So kids, it’s now official. ColorMeLyme.net and BlatheringHousewife.com blogs say farewell — only in theory and physical web-land locale. Blatherings with Terry picks up right where both sites left off without skipping a beat, with a new look, flare and flavor. (fingers crossed, added fun-ness too!)

I’m out-of-this-world grateful for continued support and interest in what this sickly-to-sassy chick has to share. Hope you will stay tuned as the blathering adventures continue. If you’re not already a subscriber, it only takes a quick moment to do so. Please and thank you! (I’m not too proud to beg. Obviously!)



New Blatherings coming soon. Until then…

Whatever brings you joy, do that.

On Repeat.

Many blessings, positive vibes, and heaps of happiness — always!

—Terry xo


P.S. Hopefully, this will be the one and only time I use the word(s) blathering(s) 14 15 times in a single post! (lol!!!)


Over here reflecting about life, illness + healing. Offering encouragement + empathy + support. Sharing smatterings of sarcasm + sass. Oozing with opinion. Speaking my truth. —tmm
