Yay! It’s fun time this time. Can you believe that January is finished already? Phew! I can’t stop saying it, time sure flies.
Welcome to my house and Happy New Year to all those I haven’t chatted with this year. I hope your weekend is going great.
Here is a toast to a great year.
Now let’s meet & mingle, shake a leg & jingle, connect & interact with other awesome folks in here.
If this is your first-time visit, the rules of play are outlined below, if you are an old-timer, you know the drill.
Grab some refreshments arranged down the page. Feel free to indulge, these are zero caloriesđ
Just some little party rules:
You must mix and mingle with others. Donât be a wallflower. Go say hello to someone, follow them home – this is the only time you are allowed to follow a stranger home on a first date đ
Let us know where you are blogging from.
 Please leave your blog link or post link in the comment box below along with introductions.
Itâs one link per comment, but come back as often as youâd like, that way itâs easier to focus on a link at a time for others.

Sober or Sound Insightful post filled with depth. Take a peek.
The frailty of life The fact that we’ve been given such an X amount of time in life and none of us knows when we are bowing out is the reason that we shouldn’t fail to live, love, learn as best as we can each day, for life is indeed frail.
To all my new friends (follows) and interactors, thank you for joining me in this space. You are most welcome.
As much as this blog is mine to share my thoughts and what not, I primarily see this place as a community of like-minded friends supporting each other.
This is a friendly zone and once a month we have a shindig to brighten things up a bit.
We meet, greet, mingle, grow our network and shake a leg.
This would be the first meet and greet for this year and you are all invited.
The oldies in the house already know the drill; music, zero calorie online food and drink, chit-chat et cetera.
PARTY TIME– Saturday  28th January – Till Sunday 29th January
VENUE – THIS BLOG
DRESS CODE – JUST BRING YOUR BLOG AND LOTS OF CHIT-CHAT đ
Lydia Step into Lydia’s and say hey. You’ll find posts on life-lessons, bipolar, chronic pain, creativity and much more.
We’ve howdied but we ain’t shook. What an excellent saying that I didn’t know before, which brings me to ask you, what’s your price tag on your ethics?
Phenomenal Maya Angelou The passage below from Bluertide grabbed and held my attention. Maya Angelou is one of my flame’s of inspiration.
My path didnât cross with many strong females growing up. I lacked a parent that would reveal to me the uniqueness, strength and beauty I held. I had few female idols, and those I noticed seemed to follow the same faux type of vain girl power my mother held. This resulted in a string of bad choices on my part. I didnât realize until later in life that I controlled my fate, my body, and my beliefs. I deserved respect. Maya Angelou spoke to me like the mother I needed. Her words hit me with brutal honesty mixed with love. In my head I heard her saying  âchild, you need to respect yourself first. You can sway those hips but only you control whoâs grabbinâ a hold of âem.â
Your warrior within Reading this story made me wonder how many women are brutalized each day in their so-called homes, yet the hide it behind layers of foundation, mascara, and a worn-out smile?
That will cost you A thought-provoking good read to start the day with. In the author’s words below:
We artificially inseminate our lives with isolation, disconnection, and cocoon in disappointment. The knock at the door is the same; what will this cost if I choose to never try again? Maybe it is worth it to re-engage in the things I place a high value on. If I stay stunted it could cost me and I might forfeit the very reason Iâm alive! Just maybe, in fact, it is worth it. We might need to risk again.
Staying on top of work I know that many of us wonder where the day ran off to especially when you look at your to-do list with tons of stuff still left to do. This post is a simple tip that would help.
How I see myself Encouraging, inspiring, eye-opening post to say the least.
Nanowrimo memes Ha,ha! This made me chuckle a bit. I know how tough writing NaNo is.
October Fall Take a walk in the park, listen to music, enjoy it while the weather still permits such decadence đ
Full of memories Some posts turn me into a watering pot. Beautiful, sad, poignant and yes, beautiful. Listen to the music too đ
