I’ve always been drawn to the power of dragons and how they continue to capture the imagination of millions around the globe.
Why Dragons?
I was in my early teens when my mom got me a copy of a drag-and-drop site builder.
“Dragons” was my first-choice subject for my first website.
My career since then has always involved online media. This site is where my interest in blogging and SEO optimization stemmed from. It reminds me to stay focused and disciplined with the things that matter in life.
My aim with continuing to run this site/blog is for nostalgic as well as educational purposes. I am passionate about curating information and hope this site is a solid resource for the dragon content you’re seeking.
I also love hearing from visitors. Learning about your dragon knowledge, stories, or creative projects is always something inspiring and my favorite thing about running the site.
Dragons represent a lot of things to me: Freedom and forever. Power, grace, rebirth, passion, focus, intelligence.
Social Media
I keep things quite low-key on Bluesky, as email correspondence is something that still brings me joy. There’s something special about the chance to reflect, share experiences, and connect in a more relaxed way.
When I’m not chronically online, you’ll likely find me reading or working on something artsy—both of which do wonders for my mental health.
If, like me, you’ve been online for ages, do you ever reminisce about the good old days of the Internet, before the rise of social media? I sure do, and I treasure those simpler times!
