I am discovering I can’t keep up with every post from my blogging community, it’s really hard to do so. Conversely I don’t expect you to keep up with every one of my posts and you know how much I post in a day. This is something I shouldn’t stress about because life has plenty for me to be stressed out about. I am grateful for those who visit when they have time and appreciate their interest. Keep on blogging everyone.
Speak Up And Be Heard Women #shepersisted
I have deep respect for the women in my life and respect their voice to have their say in determining what happens in their lives. It is important for them to have a level playing field in all parts of life. No woman should be silenced when she has something to say that can make life better for everyone or to bring attention to serious issues of the day. I believe that women are worth listening to no matter what they have to say.
Wordless Wednesday – Monument To A Past War
Daily Prompt: Heard
People with voices want to be heard. Sometimes the issue is about listening. Noise can make it hard to be heard. When people speak they have a strong desire to be understood for comprehension for respect. Protesters want their message to get across to those who they hope will receive it. To be heard is to be loved and cared about. It’s always good to let those in your life know they are heard too.
Fifty Shades of Dork #fiftyshades
How come they don’t do a movie featuring dorks in a hyper unrealistic romantic folly? I am thinking they need to do something like “Fifty Shades of Dork” a drama featuring highly intelligent and socially awkward people who can’t seem to have a relationship that doesn’t involve handcuffs and ridiculous wealth. Maybe it will happen one day.
