CNN or Cable News Network was founded by Ted Turner back in the 1980’s. It is the first 24-hour news outlet in America and has been a valued source of information for a more than a generation. Cable News Network as it is also known has kept me informed and aware of what is going on in the USA and the world.
Lately its been under attack by the current occupant of the White House as being a spreader of fake news and information. The men and women of CNN have been on the front lines of journalism and news gathering. I support them and appreciate the service they provide. None of their employees deserve the vile words that have been lobed at them. No news outlet is 100% accurate but they work hard to get things as accurate as possible. Its truly sad that they have to endure this and I hope for better times ahead.
First chill of the fall. It got cool enough to make it. It’s gonna be good. Served with corn chips, sour cream and cheese it makes a very hearty meal to warm you up.
It doesn’t make sense why women make life harder for other women. What’s wrong with sisterhood and being sure there’s a level playing field. This has future impact for girls who are growing up so fast and want to have a future of opportunities that their ancestors were not afforded. Women don’t need to be adversarial they need to band together. The future should be female!
Today is the debut of the 13th Doctor in the long-running science fiction show “Doctor Who’ Jodie Whittaker assumes the role as the first woman to do so. Every time there is a new person playing this iconic role we wonder what they will be like and what they will do. I believe with Whittaker who is a great actress she will make The Doctor her own and treat the role and the institution with reverence and respect. She will be brilliant!
There is a misconception that a blog post has to be lengthy and comprehensive. My approach to blogging is one that is a hybrid of a traditional blog post with that of a Tweet. 240 characters or 240 words or less can give you freedom to post thoughts, current events going on in your life and other ideas. Make a point of blogging in the moment. Post a picture and add a little text to it. Some bloggers have word prompts such as the ones from https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com can help with getting your creative juices flowing. Also you can post your favorite YouTube videos and other media.
An example of a short post with a picture/graphic.Find quotes from people you like that inspire you and share with others.
So when you find it hard to come up with a post you can go small for big results. The key is to keep on blogging, it can be fun again.
