‘Welcome to all my new follows and friends and Welcome to the click-a-link club.‘
I appreciate the choice you made in deciding to follow my blog, which I consider as a present.
If you notice, as much as I am a very individually minded person, I am also a very community minded and conscious person. In simple terms, I like people.
In here, I try to have a warm atmosphere that is welcoming for all and I cook in large quantities, because I never know who is coming to tea or dinner.
So, do make yourself comfortable and feel free to say hey anytime.
Are you comfortable now? Good. Now put up your feet on that plump purple cushy foot-rest in the corner and let’s have a quick chat while you get your feet massaged.
My bit of experience of blogging has shown me how grueling it can be, from thinking of content, to content production, to tagging etc, etc and when new bloggers start, it almost seems a daunting task for them.
Nevertheless, this task can be halved and lightened by working smart.
By hanging out in crowds. Don’t be a loner. Get involved in activities happening around you and not only will your blog flourish, but your mind as well.
Going forward, I will be hosting TEA/BRUNCH get together’s once a month and I must tell you, I throw awesome parties.
The last one we had on Valentine’s weekend was fabulous and one should be coming up in March. I want to keep it to once a month so that it doe’s not get too tedious to party hard over a weekend.
However, in between that time, each evening, last thing before I put up my own two feet on my inviting bed, I will feature 5 blogs on my blog.
So here’s the deal, if you have a post that you would like to shed more light on, you can send it this way and I will take it in turns.
For the newbies, don’t be shy, even if it’s just an introduction of yourself, that will do. We all started from somewhere, but then you also have to follow the link and discover the person behind the scene.
That’s my thought. So what’s yours?…
If you are searching for challenges to join you can check this out.
Add your link in your comments if you so choose to do.
Blessed love and warm regards,
© Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha
P.S. In the UAE, the time is at least 9 to 12 hours ahead of the US. So, I am turning in just a bit after you turn up.

Hi Jackie,
This is so generous and kind of you.
I would love to put a post in the “Jackie Spotlight” 😀
It’s a heartfelt short story I wrote about a mother’s loss, the underlying message that I tried to share is the awareness about genetic compatibility and its effect on sickle cell disorder.
Here’s the link- https://nedoux.com/2016/02/15/basket-of-dreams/
