I am taking myself out of my self exile just to say that 2 years ago today I started this blog! The reason why I started it was because I had a growing file of fan photos that I had gotten from various places over the past 10-15 years of Beatles photo collecting. I felt like they really showed a different side of the Beatles than the always seen posed photographs. These photos were so much more intimate and I wanted to share them with the online Beatles community in the way that Beatles pen pals swapped these type of photographs through the mail in the 1960's-1980's. So on March 9, 2009, I started my very first blog. I didn't think many people would ever notice it. Tammy's Beatles photo blog was (and remains to be) the best for Beatles photos.
When I started the blog I had just finished being in the play, To Kill a Mockingbird, at my local community theatre. I needed to find something to fill my time. I had been divorced for just 6 months and was still feeling lonely by myself in my house. This blog filled that void a little bit. And while there has been issues lately, overall the feedback I have received has been so wonderful. It shocks me that so many people have found enjoyment in a blog that is ran by me, Sara, the overweight reading teacher in Illinois. I am just a 2nd generation fan. It is humbling for me to be able to give back to the Beatles fan community.
Thank you again for all who have shown concern about my health issues. This break won't be for very long. I have been very busy scanning and saving more photos that I am itching to share. But I think a break is just what I need to clear my head and get my health back on track.
Love always, Sara S aka Starshyne
Quite selfishly, I miss your frequent updates; now to step away from my selfish-self... I completely understand the need to step back and recharge your batteries. Take care of yourself, and we'll all be here when you come back! :)
