Daily Prompt: Renewal

In a few hours the world will renew itself and ring in the new year of 2017. Every year is a new set of opportunities to do things to make our lives and the lives of others better. Perhaps it’s also a time to right some wrongs and do things better or different. Renewal comes in many forms and is very personal. I am hoping for global renewal despite the political forces that are at play. Cleansing, purging, clearing can be a renewal and restoration of space and place. Many need spiritual and emotional renewal in the coming year. No matter what we all need some renewal in mind, body and soul. Think of a new calendar as a clean slate that can give us all a second chance.

It’s good to see returning bloggers!

When A Post Bombs, Yep Sometimes It Does #blogging

Insider-Advice-12-Cyber-Security-Tips-for-Bloggers-2Sometimes a post isn’t your best work. It kind of goes over like a lead balloon or something like that. You put a lot of mental effort into it or perhaps its something you think people might find interesting or inspirational. Pride in your posts can taint how you write down the road if you let it. Not every post will shine like a diamond, some will go thud. It’s interesting how people react to things online and in real life. It really is hard to please everyone but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying.

A New Look For The Homepage of Tony Burgess – Powered By #wordpressdotcom

I decided a more modern, cleaner look was needed for the season and the new year. After playing around a little I am using the Toujours Theme from Automattic, the people that brings us WordPress.com  It’s a theme that is ideal for weddings but with some customization it makes a pretty good all-round theme for just about anything. I like the colors and the ease in which images and text can be seen by the reader.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for your continued interest in my blog and posts.

Something About Tumblr

​A friend of mine deleted her Tumblr blog after being harassed by some who had issues with the fandom they feel passionate about. I thought Tumblr was a cool and safe place for everyone. It seems it isn’t. I’m sorry she did that but it seems Tumblr has a way to go to become that place of open mindedness and true freedom of expression. Fandoms are highly personal things so when one is attacked because of uninformed people saying ignorant things then perhaps it’s time to run along. I’m glad to be on WordPress.
