UNCHAINED….


1456161929503[1]

The speed of the thoughts
Race in and out
Like a tempest forming
In the nascence of a rage

They are battering and the mind keeps buffering
Until the dams break down
Weakened by the bashing
Of banked emotions

The rage boils over
Tip of the pen races across the paper
Leaving dripping trails
Of blood, gore, tears and fury.

Silence!
The calmness returns.

Midnight Motivations And Musings #15 …..

1455995073583[1]

 

All the time spent worrying or nit-picking over issues that don’t add any value to our lives, but rather increases our headaches and gray hairs are unnecessary baggage that we should strive to let go of as much as possible.

Some have become experts in sweating the small stuff, in finding logs in other people’s eyes and generally nosey-poking into affairs that is none of their business, while they leave their own lives to flounder.

On the other hand, some are weighed down with so much that it seems as if the weight of the World is resting on their shoulders.

Isn’t it high time you started tossing away some of that ridiculous load that you are lugging around?

Isn’t it high time you started making your journey lighter and more peaceful?

Think on it. There are some excesses not worth taking along.

Let’s Create A Fine Chain By Sharing The Links…

‘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,

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.

Nothing Mundane About This Monday…

This caught my eye as I meandered about as usual. I have tried to research it and find the name but can’t quite get it’s botanical name.

Maybe the botanists/gardeners in our midst can offer up something.

No matter, I offer for your eyes, a pleasantly pretty purple flower.

Blessed Love and Welcome to Monday.

Featured Blog…Let’s create a fine chain.

Nedoux article is the very first that I am featuring on the ‘click-a-link club.’

Nedoux is a talented writer, that draws in her readers with the flow of her words which are filled with humourous anecdotes. I have found her writing quite entertaining.

Do take your time to visit and say hey. I am sure you will find one or two things to enjoy in her abode.
