Mirror, mirror on the wall: are you a split personality? What does your mirror say to you -not to others? Can you take a peek? Short and salient introspective article.

The book trailer journey: Congratulations to Pamela on the release of her second e-book. Is making a book trailer easy? Your guess or mine.

Chasing Dreams: Beautiful and evocative poem of chasing after the dream. Now let’s go and catch it 🙂

Understanding the mathematics of marriage: Have you done the arithmetic of your marriage? This is worth a read.

Today’s featured blogs posts are:

A little getaway from busy life: Serene environment. I wouldn’t mind losing myself in here for a short respite.

The meaning of a book: a great post on a topic that most of us avoid like a plague.  Borrowing Yinglan’s quote:

Religion and Politics. These are two topics you will never see me post on my blog. Why? Because those are two of the most opinionated and sensitive topics out there. Because those are two topics that essentially started wars and tore apart families, friends, and mankind. Because I dislike those two topics.

Playful Halloween costumes: Fun photos. It’s never too early to think ahead so you might get an idea or two from here.

Store your obsessions in the cube: an interesting combination of thoughts, senses and sensuality.

Diabetes management is not a one size fits all and why: It must be a struggle to live with an ailment that needs constant monitoring and a complete overhaul of lifestyle. I find Anna’s posts on Diabetes not only informative but humourous as well.

Blackwall blog: a refreshing blog that belongs to a new blogger connection of mine. Inspiring, candid posts on life, PTSD, anxiety, panic, family, photos and much more.

Fear, procrastination paralyzed: Afraid, yes, but do it! Yes you can. A short and great advice.

The Sad saga of the beak-less, tail-less, gizzard-bobbing, one-leg hopping Chicken: A humourous farm tale. Good read for a good chuckle.

Why our teens have lost faith in us: A MUST-READ for every parent. My comments to the post says:

Say it aloud! Well done ma’am. As a parent this is really a bothersome phenomenon. The rate is too high and says something unsavoury for the society. I don’t buy the idea of putting all that pressure on my children. I encourage them to be and do their best in whatever they are doing and I discourage blind competition or comparison with other people’s children. It only breeds bitter sentiments. Well said.

The embodiment of stories: The power of expression in the written word and the power of oratory belongs to man. Stories are the building blocks of our society and no matter how long man lives and the advent of all things technological, the art of writing is not in a hurry to die. This is my opinion on this well enunciated article.

Save the daughters: “When you raise a female, you raise a village, a town, a city, a Nation.” How can a wounded bird fly? These are questions and thoughts that go through my head when I read such articles and wonder why the female sex are constant recipients of abuse?

Life lessons teaching you: A short post that’s worth your read. A good reminder.

Best blogs: Check these out. You might pick a thing or twenty things.

Oh Bother! If there’s a post you must read today, read this! Very smart, fun and sensible.

What Picasso, Bach, and Godin all have in common: Prolific, prolific, prolific. We all should read this, repeat and read it again! Great message!

Guava spiced cupcakes: Fancy trying something new? Let me use Diya’s words in a quote here. I will try this myself during Summer break-bliss and give my verdict 🙂

Taking a bite out of these is a treat for the senses. What hits you first is the scent. Think cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a riotous dance that tantalizes your nostrils. Next you notice the pillowy soft crumb that virtually dissolves the moment it hits your tongue. The seductive draw of those spices is cut through with the slightest tang of lemon. Bliss!

The absent parent: Raising children by both parents is not easy by any means, but raising children as a single parent is another dimension altogether. Sometimes, these are not choices made deliberately but circumstantial choices.

Silly love story:  Love can be truly silly at times. Our heart wants what it wants despite so many odds.

Together forever in comfortable separation: How much space or separation do we need in as married couples?

Today’s featured blogs posts are:

Distance: There’s something fascinating about the train and the train tracks.

Turnaround: Not a situation any parent would love to find themselves in. Amunala’s story depicts the possible nightmare of many…

Letters of opportunity: A simple but great idea to work it, especially those who need some sort of motivation. I like this.

Monkey/chuen spiritual quickening: In Debra’s words quoted below:

Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time.

We are asked to look beyond the world’s definition of our worth and meaning. Everything in the world would tell us we are powerless – helpless to change the world. Monkey encourages us to believe in our own magic.

I find her articles fascinating. Take a look.

Rumors and gossips: A strong poem that depicts the loss and waste of a mind that idles. A goldmine gone down the drain!

Today’s featured blogs posts are:

Singing for our supper: I’ll love to place my feet on these paths of the Apollo Walk of Fame. Beautiful scene. Maybe putting my feet on the mark of James Brown will earn me dexterous dancing toes 😉

Odd-ball: Some vintage bikes. Bet they are worth a packet.

Our Southern mothers: Ha! The good old precious times. I truly enjoyed this post though I’m not a Southern girl, but I could play the scenes in my head. Check it out.

Strolling through Paris: Paris de mon cœur – Paris of my heart, a refreshing visit to the ‘bon quartier‘ is long overdue. Beautiful post that makes me reminisce 🙂

Defective medium: Every medium in the life of man is defective because man by nature is not flawless. As the Bible would say “the heart of man is desperately wicked” this poem says a lot.

Tuesday chatter: a breezy chat with my dear Eugenia is always so cheering and worthwhile 🙂

Felony stop: This is so hilarious, that I had tears rolling down my face in laughter 🙂

We should find joy in the suffering – day 14  of  the encourage marathon: Suffering can be quite a stretch on those undergoing through one hardship or the other, but these words in this post are a true blessing and can help one to navigate.

The kindness of strangers: It’s really in the little things that we do. Our gestures don’t have to be huge to be impactful. A read worth your time.

Book trailer: Romance made for me: A lovely trailer that gives me ideas. Simple, short and interesting.

A letter to my beautiful stepdaughter who’s about to become a mom: I find myself lacking the words to describe this absolutely heartwarming letter…read it yourself and form your own opinion. It’s beautiful

Musings of a solo female traveller: We all need to do this, even if it’s just once in our lives, it’s worth the while.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

(Mark Twain)

Pleasures of falling in love: Dripping of sweetness. We love such moments and feelings like this 🙂 Love is truly a pleasure even when there’s a twinge of pain.
