I am Lucky…

I enjoyed how Tami discussed her passion of crocheting and tied it all together by mentioning Teresa Barker’s in the moment. The poem was the icing for me because I’m a huge poetry fan so kudos for creating an inspiring read today.PS. Thanks for the reminder I have a litter box waiting too.

Butterfly Memories

I was reading Theresa Barker’s blog today and was reminded of an experience from 2013 with my husband Vic in Niagara Falls, Canada. I had my camera with me and took tons of pictures but I soon found myself immersed in the sheer joy of the experience. There was the sound of water trickling from the waterfalls I found very relaxing. The butterflies fluttered around us made me wonder who was really the observer. These are a few pictures from the Butterfly Conservatory. I was impressed with how many different varieties and how social they are with each other and with us.

There’s strength in numbers, why can’t we come together? 

Co-existence matters because the reality is this planet isn’t going to survive if we don’t work together for the common goal.

When will we stop tearing one another down
There’s strength in numbers weakness in division
Certain groups didn’t really feel the recession
Why can’t we empower one another
Why can’t we love our brothers
Why wont we help our sisters
Different minority groups hating within
Think about it.. who really wins?

Are you a newbie writer? Try to avoid these three commonly made mistakes

Mistakes are part of our growing process, overcoming them to reach our potential is the key to success.

Mistake. Not very popular word in our vocabulary and it is something you usually don’t want to hear about. But guess what, we are all just humans. And it means we all do make mistakes. It’s a natural part of learning curve and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve been in research and writing for about twenty years and after 50+ published papers, numerous research projects, two dissertations, 3 books and year and a half of blogging, I still do make mistakes. And I don’t mean like grammar and typos. Sometimes I don’t manage to express myself as clearly as I wanted or at times I’m not assertive  enough to share my work… but that all doesn’t matter.

I’m not talking about these kind of mistakes. I’m referring to behavioral attitudes that many young or new writers somehow acquire that can slow down or even hinder their success…
