Welcome to the home of my fictional journal, The Diary of Madie Beartri<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n This blog first began in 2004 and grew into a collection of more than 350 journal and diary entries, following Madie’s life and adventures as they unfolded over the years.<\/p>\r\n Although the original blog disappeared many years ago, I was fortunate enough to recover every written entry. I’m now bringing them back to life here so the story can be enjoyed once again. Sadly, many of the original podcast recordings were lost along the way.<\/p>\r\n As I rebuild the blog, I’ll be re-recording the missing podcasts. They may not sound exactly like the originals, but they’ll share the same stories, memories, and adventures that readers have enjoyed from the beginning.<\/p>\r\n Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know Madie and following her journey as much as I enjoyed writing it.<\/p>\r\n Happy reading,<\/p>\r\n Marsha Loftis<\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to the home of my fictional journal, The Diary of Madie Beartri.
