Each Tuesday, share your very short snippets of positive, inspiring, motivating, health, spiritual, writing advice, clips, posts etc, that can serve as a prop to motivate others and simply add my link to your post.

I call it my thinking corner because, I actually take out a bit of time just to think through things, encapsulate my thoughts as much as possible and detoxify my mind.

It might work for you in a different way, but the idea is to get the positive thoughts flowing.

Please send in your little thoughts. You never know whose life you might inspire.

Just sit still for a moment and do nothing but appreciate your life.

Remember that your negatives turn into positives if you give it enough time to develop. Treat those dark moments as a transition to more positive moments.

I believe that there is no better way to live a life than to live it with absolute faith and positivism. The alternative is simply dreary.

To love is free, but to hate, takes up a whole lot of energy.

Follow your dreams. As far-fetched as it might seem. Remember that someone thought of going to the moon and managed to find a way there. Don’t hinder yours.

Regards,

Our Thinkers Thoughts came in from:

Words that instil calmness into your life from Deb of Bookyglover

A tried and tested way to face adversity from Stella of Giggles and tales

This is my kind of message from Oluseye of A striving Nigerian mom

Famous words of empathy by Harper Lee from Rosema.

Dignity in labour from Oba of Kingsoracle.

So, when will you share those nuggets of wisdom of yours?

‘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…

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.

If you would like to be part of this movement, follow this LINK and drop your link.

Midnight Motivations And Musings #15 …..

February 22, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha21 Comments

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.

When The Words Arrived Late…

February 22, 2016February 22, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha33 Comments

I am quite sure that I am just one out of the billions of women who started a good argument thread with yours sincerely darling husband or partner, believing that you had all your words lined in a row, only to find yourself perplexed after a bit into the lopsided argument and at a loss for a good parting shot to drive home your thoughts.

Fast forward two days later, while on the hot stove turning the soup, a phrase just pops into your head and you think to yourself.

Ah Ha! That’s it! I should have said that line as my nailing shot.

That would surely make him realize how much thought I gave to the matter.

You traipse to the Living room to deliver your parting shot which is two days late and your husband who is flipping the sports channel thinks you are a lunatic, because for all intents and purpose, he has blissfully forgotten what it was you were talking about 🙂

Dear Andrew…

February 22, 2016 jacquelineobyikocha30 Comments

Sybil’s fingers trembles and as she sends the text message to Andy. It’s better this way, because she couldn’t stand to look him in the face and break the news to him.

Hopefully, he would be so mad that he won’t want to see her when he gets into town.

For weeks he talked of how they would get married, so she would return to Pennsylvania with him and she had been joyful.

Now, those dreams are never going to be. It all seems so surreal as she stares into the distance.

She’s loved Andy forever and everyone thought that they would end up together.

How she had ended sleeping with Jason still puzzles her. All she remembers was cuddling up to him as he helped her to the truck. A night out in town, several drinks and she was out like light.

Jason was a good friend to both of them and now this.

She wonders how he would take the news that he is to become a father. There will be ripples in town.

Spread The Word

If you fancy a dalliance with your ink pot, you can share your poems also on Ink and Quill.
Enjoy the moments.

Since starting my blog, Ink and Quill, my passion for poetry has grew immensely. I love the way, writing poetry makes me feel. To push the bounds, think outside the box, and challenge norms.

The support and encouragement, I have received from the WP Community, has been outstanding. It really has made me a better person and writer. I now think of myself as a writer and I’m challenging myself everyday.

So I started a thread, to share poetry on Ink and Quill, from amazing poets from around the world. To promote their work.

Together we can encourage, promote and support writers. This is my little way of helping, as I have been helped.

Please spread the word. Lets unite and promote writers around the world.

Thank you Jen
