Our favorite TV shows are going through their Fall/Winter finales. However I won’t be following along with my blog here. Nope, I will not be taking a break from my blog during the holidays. My friends I will be right here sharing what’s on my heart and in my head. Read at your own risk. I would appreciate a boost in the ratings though.

Wrong
You ever have a conversation with someone and it seems like everything you are saying is wrong or they just disagree with you. That can be highly frustrating and makes you feel like you don’t know what you are talking about. Perhaps its a matter of confidence or information. Sometimes just keeping quiet is the best course of action.
Writing Advice From A Fortune Cookie
As I said in my previous post we ate Asian food for dinner from our favorite nearby restaurant. In my fortune cookie it said…

I try to do all of these things but I am not always good at doing them. The advice here is sound and everyone can use it in their blogging or other writing. You could also throw a picture in or two to further tell the story.
AdventWord Social Media Photo Initiative
For Advent I am doing a social media photo initiative called AdventWord.
It’s organized the Society of St John the Evangelist (SSJE) and the Anglican Communion Office is underway, with Anglicans around the world posting images on Twitter and Instagram in response to themes suggested by the Society.
For more information check out The Anglican Communion News Service and find our how you can be a part of it or go directly to AdventWord.org to sign up.
Queen Blue, It’s A Nice Color
I have changed the background of my blog to Queen Blue (CSS Color #436b95). This helps the typeface of my blog to look its best and to be easily read (that’s important in blogging you know). I don’t want to pay for the custom CSS option from WordPress.com so I needed to be creative within the bounds of the free options.
Queen Blue is a good blend of lighter and darker shades. I recommend it if you want a change in how your blog looks without many visibility issues. Check it out.
My Polling Place
I am trying some polling as a part of my blogging. Check out my most recent Instant Inquiry about Thanksgiving to make your voice heard, by me and some others at least. This will be a great way of making my blog more interactive as well as timely.
