Insights on keeping our balance ⚖️ in an unbalanced world. Even Seagull won't stand up |

This current Blog ( November 1st 2023-?) is being created in Mississippi. It's a journal of my journey . My way of bringing light 🕯️ to dispel the darkness in our world. Everyday 🎵 should be Earth day 🌻. If not now when? Trying to navigate the craziness of our world and raising our 2 rescue kitties 😻! Fine-tuning my skills as a writer! I fight depression almost every day and deal with chronic pain issues. Using my faith, humor and humility. I bring experience from decades of learning spiritual guidance, using teachings from faith systems I've used to cope and learn to move forward. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Enjoy at any rate 😜! To share relevant quotes and welcome feedback as always indeed 😁! If I am not for myself, Who will be for me? If I am not for others, What am I? And if not now when? Rabbi Hillel ( The Elder) 1st century |
| Hi, y'all 🤠! Hope you didn't miss me too much 😘! I started a writing course 2 weeks ago and have been putting most of my writing energy into it. ( When it's finished I can spend more time here with everyone!) 😜 It's very challenging and it's been about 20 years since I took one like this. I got a B on the first test so must be doing better than I thought at first. I won't go into much about it until it's over. It's set to a private group. The teacher Jim has a lot of helpful writing tips and seems like an alright guy! He showed me better ways to Show in a story than tell. Another person in the class ( I'll never show or tell) thought it ok to review my work in public instead of doing it in a forum. I've dealt with it and know can't trust that person. Hope the GPS were worth it. The weather has been cold here ( though nothing compared to our family and friends in Oregon. Bad ice storm's and the city shut down for days. I had to see the dentist twice this week yuk but necessary! My second assignment is due tomorrow but haven't gotten very far. I started it and will be working on it late or not. I'm new to this describing emotions thing. It's good you use less words if the character acts out the emotion. In time I will share what I wrote after fixing the boo-boos! Anyway didn't forget about you ☺️! They have the back looking like a more. Our power and water were off for hours yesterday and today 😞. No fun there but hopefully they will be done ( and not hit the electric power line again) Hope y'all are having a decent New Year! My granddaughter is on the phone gotta go! Hugs 🤗! |
| Wow y'all 😮 it was 20 years ago today! ( Sargent pepper taught the band to play ⏯️!🎹🎸🎻🎼🎶) Now that I've planted that ear memory 🤣... Ok so really I found WDC one cold morning in Georgia 2004. The Internet was getting it's feet on the ground and on our PC with world famous dial up! I was always a ✏️ pencil pen 🖊️ paper 📜 type of lady and wondered what I could find related to writing in this new format. 🤔 I soon was coming up with a username soon I was dddreamcat@writing.com! I remember being glued to the screen and overwhelmed with how many people, things to do and all that was going on at this site! I had checked out 2 other writing sites and joined but compared to WDC paled in format and activities. A nice lady there befriended me and admitted she too missed the whole Newbie experience but found help and guidance from so many people who really cared. In time I learned the take the chance and make items as well as friends. I knew little about what the in and outs of writing for others were about. I had read books but here was a place one could ask a question ⁉️ and get a quick response even several! Through the years moving and family realities took over my life. My granddaughter will be 20 this year! Her mother was pregnant with her in January of 2020. I just go wow thinking about that time. I submitted 2 articles that year to a local college newspaper and made my first $200 and that came in handy for food and diapers 😁 LoL. Today I'm taking a course here on Showing characters emotions. It's been awhile since I tried anything like that challenge! I'm thankful my Muse didn't croak 🐸 as I wondered if I bit off more than I could possibly chew... My mentor Sunny and a few other friends here help me in ways too many to name ❤️... So I wish you all a very blessed New Year, happy whatever your anniversary is ( Sunny 😎 was this week at a super 20 years too!) Sometimes my sister asks me if "I still get something out of being here?" To be honest I can't imagine life without being here 💟! Later 😁 y'all 🙏🌻😻😃 |
