Highlighting Newbie BioBlocks This Newsletter I found these Bio-Blocks that impressed me. I wanted to share them with you so that you might also get to know the people in our community better. I am so happy that more and more of you are filling out this portion of your portfoilio to share with others. If you have not please take the time to write a few sentences that will give your readers some hints about your work or the focus of your work. Remember that you can always change your Bio-Block as the mood suits you, as long as it is kept G-rated. Here are some Newbie Bio-blocks I found interesting and/or entertaining. Please give them a read and consider posting your own "welcome mat." ~~Say hello to~~~ ch1o Introduces us to a thought or two. spidersweb This Newbie author is asking us a question. Perhaps we can answer it. shondawriter A pleasant introduction, giving us clue's into this author's life and love's keyz   I loved that this author included her reason's for writing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, May is a month of celebration for many. By the time this Newsletter is presented to you, we will have celebrated and remembers the many female influences in our lives. Perhaps remembering the love and caring support of our growing up years, or perhaps not. What ever your focus was on this special day, I hope that you enjoyed yourself as well as that special person. And while on the subject... as a mom myself, I would like to lecture lovingly if I may so indulge myself. A parents job is multi-tasked. We are doctor, health monitor's, dietician's, and mulititude of other occupations. For all of this most parents ask for only one thing, or two if you count turning off the lights after you leave a room, and that is respect. Most of you would have assumed that I would say love, but you know what? Love without respect is meaningless. Respect is not bringing home flowers, or saying I am sorry, or other, although important gestures, not a show of respect. Respect is hard work. It is a twenty-four hour a day job, as is being a parent. It involves a compex set of actions showing prudence, understanding, patience, and a willingness to listen to someone who means the best and is still learning new roles themselves. It can be a confusing time for everyone. We parents are by no means perfect, believe me. I am told everyday that I am "clueless".  So in closing let me present a beautiful poem I found by starkystalz "Invalid Item"  .Please don't forget to enter the next contest: "Invalid Item" . Congratulation to the winners of our last contest. This proves to be an exciting one. Give it a try.Wind beneath your wings all,  amawitch    Its May and even the middle of month already!!!
