Get inspired by the neighbors: Blogging 101

20150707_233302I haven’t written in days, not because I don’t want to but for reasons that I cannot even put my fingers on. It seems I am having withdrawal syndrome from a whole lot of stuff. Traveling from one place to the other does have its highs and lows and I think my low kicked in sometime last week after a days trip from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, coupled with living out of a suitcase, so I lagged behind on my Blogging 101 assignments. Well, the saying that it is better to be late than never applies here, so I am going to play catch up right now and hope that would kick-start my writing juice and other stuff as well.

I made friends with some of my good neighbours in the blogosphere, paying visits to several abodes and sharing my thoughts on their timelines and articles. I paid a visit to your cyber abode, Disarmed by Love and your warm welcome made me feel at home.
I ate and drank as you invited, listening to your words that teemed with wisdom and motivation. It was a very good visit. I felt that I had run into a kindred and gracious spirit and with that warm glow I left, knowing that I shall visit again.

I made a pit stop at http://patternsofsouldevelopment.com/ his in-depth perspective in analyzing some things we tend to overlook with the wave of the hand, made me think a bit deeper and left me with new knowledge. We bantered quite a bit, gleaning off each other. I taught him how to say DALU – which is a gracious thank you in my native language. He is also a keeper.
For some fun and color which I love so much, I flitted around quite a bit, like a hummingbird from one blog post to the next blog, perusing the beautiful and lively photos of: https://mariajanssonphotography.wordpress.com/, http://kevinhotter.com/ and https://whsimphotos.wordpress.com/

They made me wish I was a better photographer.

They were simply captivating and inspired me enough to take nondescript photos that were going to nowhere (like the one above this article).
