Welcome Y'all ðĪ . I'm into animal rescue and rights. Positive vibes and activism! ðŧð It's been interesting for the past 20 years. Good folks on here and a great ð writing community. It's time for rethinking my writing and growing as a person . Sharing how to help others and ourselves ð has always been my motivation! Hugs ðĪ to new and old peeps!

| Hi y'all, I used to have fun Blogging. Last year I did the Blomo thing for the first time. It was posting every day for a month and it was a new thing to me. Last year I was connected to more people and it was a great experience. This year things are different, not as connected ðŠŧ and that's life. I'm thinking of getting rid of this blog and not starting another. Maybe can find community somewhere else. I'm really going through stuff and even though I've been there for others, it's hard to ask for the same thing back. Praying things will get better. Blessing's. |
| Well hi y'all, I know you've been busy getting your writing ðĶ duck's in a row! I've been checking out some of my peeps and around the realm of WDCðŊïļð. It's been down time for me dealing with what's going on with North Carolina and people who are bringing help to the mountain ðïļ folks, the ones that Fema has yet to reach... I've been ignoring most of the political news and nonsense. Wondering if the ðŠ circus will come down to a situation like the vote in 2000. Al Gore vs George Bush and it came down to 537 votes and ole Bush took office. My first review of a blog fuzzed out so far. Don't know if they even knew they got one and not sure people want their blogs reviewed anyway. I thought WS idea ðĄ was great and maybe we could start a new trend. Time will tell. As for me tomorrow is my monthly pain Dr appointment. Found out he didn't know the difference between Xanax and trazidine ( a muscle relaxer) I never took a Xanax in my life and had been on the other ( because of my falling spine) for a few years. Until last month I realized why he told me to stop taking the medicine last year. It caused me a year of extreme discomfort. Thank God G-d or someone Finally can have it from my NP. Not even a "sorry" just a laugh. What an a s s h a t. Ah life in these USA, yeah I wish I could move to Italy, where people know their neighbors and look out for each other. There's good folks here but too bad don't know any around here. The power just went out but came back on, it's been doing that this week. So tomorrow is the Hunter Super full ð moon,hope it's good for us all! My writing projects went down the toilet ðŠ so to speak but got a flash ðļ of inspiration after someone said something real dumb and hurtful. Sometimes even smart people can be so dense. Joke's about people being in pain aren't that funny,most of the time. Besides that I am taking an old article/book ð I started,wow I think about 2013. I added to it a couple of times but was so busy raising our darling grandkids with very special needs at the time, I didn't have much free time and sometimes spoke into my phone, while walking our German Shepherd Solomon. In Oregon. I made some YouTube videos on my channel but never got further. So The devil doesn't always wear horns ð is about how people get to know us by being nice and sometimes later use what they learn to hurt us, and make us doubt ðĪĻ ourselves. That's a very short breakdown but it's a very complex and complicated subject. This Christmas âð I will be 70 and know I'm not going to live forever, so if my writing is going to happen and be able to help others and myself, well I have to push away the darkness that covers me daily. It brings light ðŊïļðđ to know some folks are good souls and can be trusted ð. They aren't pretending to care, because they really do. The ones that walked away probably because of lies they believed at face value, and never asked me if they were even true. I can only imagine what they said behind my back, because I know what they said about others when I thought we were friends. When I called that person on any of it , I got spit on (metaphorically) and realized the devil doesn't always wear horns meant her as well. That's the last on that subject and I'm thankful that this year is coming to an end. Next year I pray will be better. ðâŊïļðŠŧðđððâšïļðŧð Blessings till next time I'm tired ðī!! |
| Hi y'all ð, I had planned to work on my list of Blogs to review this week. Instead the events of Helene and all the folks whose lives changed because of it, I prayed and shared post's on Facebook instead. People looking for loved ones, sharing news on one's they sadly lost. Friends who were driving to bring supplies like water, food and diapers from miles away. People from a mule farm using mules to transport life-saving supplies. Jewish people from Chabad in South Carolina drove to Asheville North Carolina bringing help. Christians and other faiths black, white didn't matter. It was people helping wherever it was needed. No questions asked. In the middle of so much tragedy, so much hope is growing and manifesting into good for so many each day. I hope this trend will continue of people working together for the common good. On a personal note,my Grandson Justin lives in Georgia and I had some frantic moments, texting and calling until I heard back from him. He was safe thankfully in his area. Today is his birthday ð âĪïļð I shared about The Greater Good site greaterGood.org  and if course they are helping there for people and animals! Along with The Humane society and many more. Support them if you can. Hope the link works first try ð You can click for free and be donating ð right away! I'm going into my article Help is just a click away and remove the old links. Each page ( IE The animal rescue site now links to the greater good site ð). So I hope you all have a blessed weekend.    |
| Hi y'all ððĪ ! Wow, it's Thursday and I'm exhausted whew! Monday I started to post weekly goals again. After stopping for a month or so. It took me a few tries to copy and paste ( Thank goodness I have spell check or I can imagine how many typos this post ð might have LoL! Wrote this Monday Glad ð to be back! My goal is to pace myself and get some things done here again! The struggle is real with my Ole body,yet my spirit is strong ðŠ! Since I took a break doing this, spent time on how to prioritize my projects ð. Without getting too unfocused. I'm going back to my mini notebook ð and stick with a plan. Doing reviews and connecting back with folks here are # 1! Relearning how to do links is 2. It used to be easy but has become more tricky. I'm reworking my portfolio. There's good stuff and a lot of things that can be removed. Condense is the key for # ð 3! Let's see how ðĪ this goes by Friday! Have a blessed week ð and good luck Tomorrow is Friday and had some unexpected things coming into my sphere to figure out. Also did ð fall cleaning and I pushed myself to get things done like Washing the baseboards and doors in the living room. My sister said "Stop!" As I was about to start up the stairs baseboards! That can wait until the weekend! We both are clean ðŦ§ nuts! And with 2 indoor kitties ðŧ we have to! Someone requested a review from me this morning ð and it was nice to be asked and brought me back to the world of writing. People tagging me ðđðšð and daily reminders of being connected ðŠŧâŊïļ here and having like minded friends. I'm behind with my new groups of buddies and keep telling myself, next week is another week! I don't cook much but after this, going to start the potato's for Knishes! I miss them. Have a great ð weekend and hope to see you soon ððđ. |
| Greetings ðĪ and welcome back y'all ð! After the eclipse/ super moon ðð was hoping people would take advantage of something positive happening. Below is an opinion and below that, ta da ! What is the greater good site?! Making positive changes! Most of the news is awful and besides trying to find something positive ( like someone helping a homeless pet) I've been avoiding it more. I can't wait till the election is done with. My granddaughter called and asked me " what do you think about people eating cats in Ohio? Is it true? I told her" No sweetie it's not true. It's made up and meant to get more people to hate each other. It's just more stupid election stories to get elected. Ever since Politics started it was like that. Your other grandma looked it up and we saw people used to come to debate and fight in the street. Mug slinging! The crowd would have picnics and the kids played, as the politicians hit, and cursed at each other. Not much has changed! So enough about that! My main concern is sharing about the Greater Good site ! Who they are and why it matters! In 1999 people started this site to benefit Animals like fur babies, cat's,dogs, horses and wildlife. (I found them in 2004 and wrote an article for the Flagpole newspaper in Athens GA. It's posted here and will add the link after I post! I've been supporting them since. It's called Help is just a click away. Time for part 2!) Over the years they added Page's so you can click for free to help: Homeless Veterans and their pet kids, provide free books to kids to give literacy tools, provide food for hungry Americans through agencies like Feeding America, help for Cancer patients, Autism and more. This is my passion to help others and they do more than most. I buy shoes from their store and watches! I mostly click for free. They also have a daily list of animals world wide in need of medical care and provide a picture and chance to donate to any. Each has a story and I pray for each as I go along ððđð. I pray people will look into this and save the page. They have emails to remind us to click and when sales are on for the store! I was able to pick out an awesome pair of kitty's on the moon earrings free for helping with my clicks! They have clothes and kitchen stuff ETC! Anyway this post has a contrast of two different subjects. I choose doing good for others and know I'm not alone in this! Whatever you do get involved with something that helps others! You can make a difference in this world ððð The journey of 10,000 miles Begins with one step ðš Lao Tzu {Link:https://www.theanimal rescuesite.com} I will check after post to make sure it works! Have a blessed weekend ðð |
| Hi, y'all ðĪ ! It's early but I felt pulled into writing this. Yesterday people were giving encouraging feedback and energy to my post about the supermoon ð and my take on it. That being said, after I shared it, I started reading a post about 911 and it was heavy. It asked if people were still affected by that day. It shared others articles about their experience about it. One was comparing the time's of When John Kennedy was shot and also when we dealt with Covid 19 back in 2020. This morning I woke up thinking about the collective consciousness and how we are all interrelated and interconnected. Today and tonight we can come together, wherever we are and channel the Moon and the eclipse energy in a positive way. We have 2 bottles of spring water on the window sill to " catch" the energy. We will write down our intentions and what we would like to see for ourselves and others. Whatever works for you ððđ don't miss it. We are connected and can make positive changes. In our lives and for the good of the whole. There's time to change and grow ðŠīðđð. I'll be back later. With more links Blessings ð |
| Hi, y'all ððŠ I wanted to share some insights on tomorrow's partial Eclipse and Super Moon ð. It is a time for people to align with the rare spiritual energy building to be shared with humanity and to improve ourselves. A time to think of our goals and how to bring harmony to others. What do we want for our lives? With so much chaos and division in the world ðð, would we prefer more diversity and understanding in the world? Are there things I would like to improve in myself? This is a good time for soul-searching and thinking about what the future could be if others and ourselves consider what is most important. Some are concerned with the lastest car or new iPad. Others are concerned about nature ðâðŦ and the quality of life on this planet. Wanting to do the right things and treat others kindly. Some are wrapped up in the " Ego show" and showing off. We only have one planet that must be shared. There are many ways to look at how that should be done. We may not control much of it but we can control how we live every day. How we relate to each other. How we treat each other ð. We have an invitation from the universe to meditate,pray and use this rare energy to take stock of ourselves and see beyond the Vail . To imagine what could be and do our best to create that reality. I'm working on another post to share about the Greater Good site ( and get the necessary tags in place LoL!) It will become an article too so people can be a part of this as well! There's been a lag on my part of writing. This has been a time of indecision for me and for others. In part because of the Super moon and it's growing effects. It affects everyone ( whether they know it or not!) People who are interested and keep up on Astrology can see the daily patterns and progressive actions, the planets have on our daily lives. We have had other super Moons and Eclipse and I think it was 1811 that it was first noticed in America. The following year was the War of 1812. The one tomorrow won't happen in our lifetime so don't miss it! Some will find confusion, others will feel intuition. Some won't bother, and others will feel in tune. I hope you will be part of this wonderful thing that is happening tomorrow and use it for good ð. Blessings ððŧ Until next time ( I will post the link in here later and write another post with it also ð) Please share the good news! |
| It's raining here and we may get hit by the tropical storm/Hurricane Francine. We bought extra water and later will make sure phones are charging and medicine is in a "Go bag ðïļ". Back in Oregon where my family is, there's a lot of fires ( some are arson) . Some pictures of fire's of the past (I've taken) are showing up in my Facebook memories. The sky filled with brown smoke and blocking out the sun. Waiting to see if there's an evacuation. Very scary stuff ðą I can tell you. I'm going through my portfolio and deleting some items. The best will be saved and some will be copied into a document ð. I'm going to delete old blogs but was reading some and noticed how many views there were. From 26 up to 89! That's when people were enjoying them and people spent more time doing it. I also used to share them. That was before so much drama came to be. Maybe I just didn't notice as much. Others have and were real enough to let me know " it's not just me" thinking it! I get when you have a lot of people in one place, there are different opinions and backgrounds. I see some nice folks just writing and limiting the social part. I'd rather have a small group of nice ( truly nice ð) people than a big group of questionable folks. Here or anywhere in cyberspace ð and in real-time too. LoL I'm going to get a nice bunch of links to share with people here who showed interest in helping animals, people, and the planet ðšð! I have to get my HTML tags and ducks in a row! Too much time is wasted on silly nonsense. Hugs ðĪ to y'all ( you know who you are!) The reason I came here 20 years ago was to become a better writer! And to find people of like mind to make a better world ð. Be blessed ððđ âŪïļðïļ |
| Hi y'all ðĪ . I didn't expect to write another post here, to be honest. A few people knew I was leaving but many didn't. Some dear hearts included me( anyway !) and my nature has always been caring. This year instead of participating in the birthday ð ð festival ( I pulled out of the BD Bastion and didn't even try to do another contest that sounded really far out. It was about writing a blog about 10 live concerts I've ( we've) been to and memories about being on Writing. Com. Not fluff but real experiences with others during our time here. Things we've learned or connections forged. I wrote an outline couple of weeks ago and that's all. For now, I'm going to keep my focus on the good things here and most of all the real and true folks. Some known for years and others more recent. I'm working on a book ð of my poems, Haiku's and maybe song's. I need to streamline my portfolio here and keep the best on it ð! There's a lot of clutter after 20 years and a name change LoL! I want to use this blog for positive change and to keep connected to a few special folks ððļðŊïļðŠŽðķðđððđðĨģ. Over the past week have done much praying and rethinking my life. Heading towards the big Seven oh yeah ð! Last week a Nurse asked me how old I was, and when I replied lol, she was shocked and said " No Way! You look like your in your late 50's! Considering I didn't have my usual makeup ð on , that was a real upper to me. Even with the pain and everything else. They adjusted my thyroid medication and should feel better ( with that stuff) in 7 to 10 days! Hurray! I will share a few other blogs and other good stuff from good writers here on WDC! I also had some great links for the Twilight Zone forum. I used to share this on the news feed but for now, I'll let y'all few know via email. Have a blessed week ð· ð ðđ From my heart to yours. ðŧðķððļ |
Hi to the few people who were decent to me and real here. I've given a lot of thought about leaving WDC for the past few months. There was an incident with another member that also played into my decision. I never talked about it to anyone but saw that the person, told me personal things about others. It seems like a pattern of gossip and the friendship ended 2 months ago but I didn't feel comfortable here since things they said in the end to me. There's too much drama going on here and honestly a lot of ego as well. I came here 20 years ago to learn how to write better. For the past 2 years had more time here because I wasn't raising the grandkids anymore. I joined groups to find friends and find support and to encourage others. Most of the groups fell apart. And couldn't find any more to join here. Which was fine. One I left had been awesome yet to be honest, was trying to avoid that person. I don't like conflicts, but try to resolve or at least reason with others but some people don't. If you don't agree with them your sub human. Like some people are about politics or religion. They don't like to be confused with the facts. They don't like you for being honest. A few folks here have been supportive and it mattered how I was. They wanted me to stay. Bless those good souls. Others are just about how many badges they have or how many reviews they gave. That's their thing it's their right. I'm about quality not quantity. I've been on other sites and have written for quite a few. This used to be more like my home page - until it wasn't. It's not the site It's the way people are mistreated if they don't " fit in" or they judge you. That's not a healthy climate for anyone (in my opinion and experience) I never gossiped, instead prayed for people going through it and gave support. I looked at the news feed and gave caring from my heart to those who were in pain or were struggling in life. I commented in blogs and many times never heard back. Few did that for me, when I was going through it. So my time here is almost done. I'm putting most of my port into my Docs. To be recycled in time. There's a saying If you want games Go to Toys R us. Personally I only like games like Mahjong, not head games . Have a blessed life ð Interesting thing ðĪ I'm a preferred writer but can't find myself in a search or as a blogger. |
