Welcome to Ozark Attitude
http://ozarkattitude.com

This is the official site of Carol Henrichs,
an Ozarks writer, blogger, photographer, gardener, quilter, and cat lover.

Enamored with the internet since my first log-on, my technological journey began with a first home computer in the 1980's.I am proud to call OzarkAttitude my online home. Maintaining a website is like rearranging furniture;it is the only way to clean under the couch. I just happened to have finished a little spring cleaning here at OzarkAttitude, where the beauty of the Arkansas Ozarks remains my muse.

Thanks for visiting...Carol Henrichs

I have been a writer for 20 years

It was writing that allowed me to meet Barack Obama

Most of my work has been published in newspapers in Illinois, Indiana, and Arkansas. I have enjoyed various other kinds of writing activities as well, such as opinion columns, ghost-writing, editing, and proofreading. I have often used photography to accentuate a story, and built a few websites, designed fliers, presentations, newsletters and other business-related activities.

Not only do I love writing because it has allowed me to learn new things and meet new people, but in the early 1990's, I had the pleasure of meeting a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Illinois--Barack Obama--who just a few short years later was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.

Online writing has been satisfying for me because it keeps me writing on a fairly regular basis. I agree with the English poet Robert Southey who once said, "By writing much, one learns to write well." Therein lies the goal I continue to strive for.

I have enjoyed writing for most of my adult life. I find it to be both a learning and teaching tool--one that I just can't seem to live without.

Why I blog...

Not only do I love to write, but I love to take pictures too. Some of the pictures on my Blogs & Social Networking page illustrate why I named this site "Ozark Attitude." It is beautiful here--in the natural state. I love to capture the sights and scenes with my camera.

Someone once said that you know you're a writer if you feel compelled to write every day. I guess I fit the bill because one of the first things I do every morning is turn on the computer. While I don't write a blog post every day, I try to maintain one of my three blogs at least weekly. My three blogs cover a wide variety of topics and interests.

CHBlog highlights a 20-year effort to halt the construction of an unnecessary new airport in the green fields south of Chicago, Illinois, where I once lived. The fight remains, but is much less active, so CHBlog has begun to take on more current topics, such as gun violence, politics and even religion.

CHMusings covers personal interests such as my love of quilting, gardening, photography, as well as a little political and social commentary.

CHonTrack is all about my favorite Sunday afternoon pastime--NASCAR--with an admitted partiality for Ryan Newman, driver of the #39 car.

Additional information, including highlighted posts, is available at the Blogging and Social Media page.
