Gosh! I haven’t done this in donkey months and believe me when I say that it perturbs me. My blogging schedule has gone to rack and ruin 😉 Life happens and sometimes when it does, you are left grappling to get a grip on things.

Over the hill on the yellow brick road
Cathi’s blog posts are simply unique, engaging, humour-filled, with doses of wisdom tucked in between.

This simple post is such an outpouring of love and goodness. I love it. Are you the beloved? Why not find out.

I’ve been thinking of revamping this badge below for something fresh.
Initially, I thought that I would produce the badge by myself, but an afterthought to throw it open to others came to me – after all, ‘featured posts’ is primarily to share and promote posts from other bloggers. It’s for all of you.
So, what do you think? Can you muster up something snazzy in the next one week?
All badge entries will be displayed and votes cast for the favourite. The selected badge will be used for featured posts series for the year and the contributors will receive credit with their sites URL link constantly attached to the badge.
Let’s have fun! Share so others can participate. Thank you.

Take a look. What comes to your mind? Poignant photo. Like is said, an image can relay a thousand words or thoughts and Deborah’s words simply tugs at some strings.

Reasons why being single is becoming more desirable
What’s your opinion? Are people better off staying single and unmarried? Is marriage too much of a hassle?
You learn something new every day. I must admit I didn’t know what Samhain meant before now.
You’ve done the excuse thing all through the year and now you’ve got the perfect excuse called Winter. No more excuses.
What I did on my Summer vacation
A beautiful post that will make you smile. Perhaps you’ll learn a thing or two things 🙂
I can totally relate to this poem. If I may ask, what pigeonhole are you squeezed into?

I started my morning reading this lovely piece and commented:
Oh my, this is absolutely delightful and tender. A life cycle covered in a heart-tugging, well written short prose. I totally love this Oneta
Have you read ’13 Reasons why?’ I haven’t. Consequent to reading Jamila’s post, I’m inspired to watch and read the book.
It’s important to treat others right. Treat them with kindness you would never know but it could save a life. Also, it’s important to be aware of our actions, aware of the words we are saying. It’s impossible to know what’s going on in someone’s life and how we might be adding to his/her pain.
These fabulous, timeless walkways will inspire you to go clicking your camera.
The struggle for human rights has literally gone on forever. Sometimes, it seems we are going backward.

Let’s meet the creative vendors at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A lovely and inspiring post to kick-start your morning.
Maybe you don’t recognize it, but you have something within you that you like to do, that you’re good at, and that can be used in God’s kingdom! Remember the parable of the talents? Notice that nobody was left out! One talent was the minimum given to anyone!
Eugenia’s chatter is like taking a hearty broth with chuckles and history tossed into the mix. I totally, totally enjoy them. Read the witty poem.
Why jails and prisons shouldn’t be asylums
I can’t even begin to imagine the horrors that happen in privatized prisons. It just doesn’t bear thinking and it’s rather unfortunate when mentally ill patients are incarcerated, ignored and treated like criminals.
Poppies are a scattered to serve as a reminder ‘lest we forget, always and forever.’ This beautiful image and deep thought inducing quote might appear simple, yet it’s simplicity speaks volumes.

How contented are you? Or are you fussing and cussing and getting mad over everything?
For all those of us battling with the scale and wishing we could whittle the fat away. This great post is for you.
I’ve decided to accept all of me…every beautiful curvaceous rounded edge and corner of my body. I am proudly me. I had to get to a point where I started to love myself. I just needed to stop the battle within myself against myself. Self-acceptance became my focus point instead of pushing away this beautiful person based on a number on the scale.
What brilliant idea this is. I simply love it. Take a quick peek.
Our children emulate us. Most of their attitude/behaviour is learned and this is largely from their homes. If we are not better adults, how exactly do we expect to have better children?
Bullying starts at home. It starts with adults who see no problem with posting brutal responses to tragic stories because they need to feel that they are better than others—just as a school-yard bully would do; they need to claim the position as better parents, better guardians of their teens, more efficient workers, etc. This competition is so destructive to society.
Finding a happy disposition in a sea of disparate negativity
Fabulous post!
Choose to be the type of person that everyone wants to work with, to talk to, to collaborate with…a positive and happy disposition is a cohesive force!
