Catching Up

These past three months have been some of the swiftest in my life that I can remember. I experienced so much change and rapid pace in my life as my husband and I traveled from California to Washington DC on our peace mediation mission. Stranded here when our vehicle broke down the day that we arrived, November 12, 2008, has really given us/me a new perspective on life. I am reminded how much I am not in control of my destiny, rather I only respond to some invisible call of the spirit that somehow guides each of us on our journey.Almost six weeks later, we are still in Alexandria, Virginia, taking new stock in our plans and refocusing to set intentions for the new year. The main thing on my mind is to do the best that I can do to live as a peaceful, kind, giving person and do all that I am...

Social Site Update

Today I upgraded my Twitter account for the sake of communicating with other members from freelance writing and blogging communities.Read the actual post titled "Midnight on Twitter" on The Midnight Writer's domain blog by clicking here. Quality Gal inspired me to upgrade my Twitter account since they posted the links to all their Twitter members who are also freelance writers for Quality Gal. I recently joined their ranks as a ghost writer, but am awaiting approval and feedback from the Editor.My posts have not been frequent as I had hoped to provide, so I will strive for improvement daily. Again, the more I learn about this freelance blogging, freelance writing and affiliate marketing business, the more I realize that it takes great time...

Excited About Entrecard

Entrecard is a program that allows bloggers to drop their "card" on one another. The entrecard specific to your site and designed by "you" using imagery and text of your choice, is loaded into the Entrecard dashboard, then onto the blog for which you created it. Thousands of bloggers surf Entrecard through their dashboard, and "drop" on your widget. Don't worry, Entrecard software takes care of all the technical details. All you do is surf and drop. The concept behind Entrecard is to facilitate a social network on one site whereby bloggers can visit one another's sites, drop on each other's widget to let the person know you came by - sort of a drop by howdy- this helps to increase your blog views and it helps to inspire networking and communication among bloggers. I absolutely love Entrecard...
