I checked the map and you're right - Kingston's much too far for an easy there-and-back. I'm glad you got to participate at Eden Mills, though.

In response to "Stuff About Me "

Miserably Stuck ...

I hate asking for help.

I used to belong to writer's groups here and have fond memories of readings elsewhere; but that was so long ago.

In response to "I Can to It.... yeah, right. "

I don't know if you remember me blogging about this, but Vic's dad had Alzheimer's, and it was 7 years of him just being an empty shell. Vic's mother is in the mid stages where she's violent and combative, Vic ended up placing her in a home because she was hurting the caretakers who were staying in her home with her. I worry about Vic because he is forgetful more and more, his grandparents and his parents all had some form of dementia.

Awesome job, Carly and today's for picking me for your review. I have no idea whether I can complete this today at all because I'm working and my lunch time is at 12pm which is 12am WDC time. I need DST!

Your review is awesome btw.

Inspirational People

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT July 5th
Tell us about someone you find inspirational.

Inspirational. I am not feeling overly inspired these days. So who inspires me. Off the top of my head - Oprah Winfrey. She has introduced me and countless others to many inspiring people. The power of possibility was introduced to me and opened me up. Turned my negative, closed life into one with a positive outlook. For that I will always be grateful. Her interviews, particularly with Super Soul Sundays made me want to explore and challenged me. From Brene Brown and Elizabeth Gilbert to the poetic wonderfulness of Maya Angelou and wisdom of Iyanla Vanzant. I have felt my life become richer with the exposure to these perspectives.
