Trust is a critical element in any relationship.
When you can’t think of anywhere else you’d rather be,
in the moment.
….. except on a beach in Mexico, soaking in the sun.
Feeling the Vitamin D blend in from your pores.
With your significant other, laying, snoring or smiling
from your side.
That’s a magical accomplishment.
To the instant gratification world we’ve plunged into.
A toxic symptom being we only communicate by text.
No voice calls, the odd FaceTime call (free service that comes with your Apple iPhone).
How can we feel any emotion when the only sense is from hearing,
you can’t see tears, but you can hear the infliction.
I reconnected with a former colleague.
She brightened my few days.
Put a genuine smile on my face.
With courage, she shared her experience with and working with her mother, who has severe mental health attention because of schizophrenia. I shed light on my own experience with my younger brother, who passed away from the opiode infested streets of Surrey, British Columbia this past March 2019.
I sometimes float back to the blogs I’ve written in the past, round it up and place it here.
It’s an exercise of sorts. I was surprised by how accurate were my predictions.
I copied and pasted it here. WordPress is doing an incredible job of helping me define, expand and create a better and better website, not merely a blog.
Creativity by imagining innovation or performing or painting or drawing or word
can be rewarding.
Thanks @Wordpress – I really like the suggestions you’ve made and we’ve adopted together.
The following blog is still on Blogspot from Google.
The images were dropped during cut/paste from Google to WordPress.
That’s when you see zealous competition : where one brand codes in a way that prevents certain features of the competitor. As a means to demonstrate superiority.
Choke em where they stand out
as in my case the images I curate or create
dropped, dumped and left behind.
Who is the culprit? Google or WordPress?
I am curious enough to figure it out across my reading.

About writing, blogging, editing, publishingSUBSCRIBEA queen of advice …
December 19, 2017In a meandering mood, without any particular destination in mind, online, of course. Definitely, with some great mood selections from my really cool playlists [ I say myself attesting to the many hours I categorized my iTunes music library in a mood setting and that means both from where I physically am to where I am continually striving for better moods.
When one is struggling with depression, it means that they are likely grasping for safety nets of positive inspiration or motivation. Giving back. Giving what one knows or has sharing honest advice based on one’s own unique perspective in whatever that may represent: as a person (wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, aunt, outlaw or in-law I may be.
I’ve discovered a new identity emerging from the wisp and whoosh of inspiration that glimmers across one’s screen. Maybe I’ve been hovering in a lot of different areas, appearing scattered, however, there is still consistency from my original vision/mission statement: “To help others go from average to REMARKABLE”. I see that slogan here and there. Maybe I can do that creatively, who knows.
But wandering around, I saw posts and what felt like a flurry of activity from FACEBOOK ~ wow, who’s radar did I get on now? Or is the merge between KRED and EMPIRE really trying to outdo the other battle of supremacy on leading edge Artificial Intelligence by throwing more and more things across your computer screen, daring you to click on what they’ve carefully selected you to view.
I hope it doesn’t mean that we’re closer to a Brave New World (was that the one I read in Grade 12 English about mind control, big brother?) ~ will have to fact check. My growing list of fact checking is getting annoying. I’d rather write than check facts, something that I would spend hours doing when I first began blogging as optioneerJM seven years ago.
I’m amazed at the craftiness of Facebook tempting me with MEMORIES and growing that part of AI which is another way of saying Automated Internet …. what you do, where you click, how often you click is being captured for your entertainment or knowledge value, which ever your behavior predicts that you have a tendency to go to or click on.
Regardless, I firmly plan my crown upon my head as the official new dear abby of online. Why? It’s fun and it seems to help people and more questions keep coming for me to answer with more people viewing my answers daily. Although sales was my first forage on to the social media spectrum, social media certainly follow in a natural graduation. Now I am being invited to try products and be beta first responders/testers. It’s all very cool. However, nothing I do online makes any money. The pathetic truth that it is.
My gauntlet is tossed. I challenge 2018 to bring me compensation so that I can continue to create: both painted images or written thought. Well enough to quit a full time job since it requires around the clock, if not attention, connected. If I get a little more honest by evaluating my own numbers (I gush at the thought to play around with them) ………… if Dear Abby it is, then voila a Queen of Advice can be born.
I will be re-posting on my other blogs. The goal is to create images that portray the mood or character of my blog, then create a page that it all blends and compliments each other. That is a big TO DO/GET’R’DONE for 2018 I don’t know what does? Suggestions welcome.
Nevertheless or irregardless as his highness would say (as crowned from the Hunkster Hubster to His Highness or HH starting in the countdown to 2018.) The following advice has gotten traction on Quora.
Whatayaknow
Is what you know. You know what you know. You answer with your best face forward with integrity and honesty to strengthen your resolve: questions posed by anyone and everyone, then voted by anyone, and the tricksters or smartsters at Quora are putting more answers forward to you answer. So much so, you can start to distinguish the ones from genuine users with profiles and others suggested by Quora. Quora is telling me what answers and how I answer some questions is well received, therefore, they are now padding my ANSWERS banner with a sprinkling or mixture of both.
Here is an example on the traction and reaction from 23 hours ago:
I am a very lazy guy, but I want to win at least one Nobel Prize. What should I do?

Honestly?
Well I want to be a Queen, princess at the very least. With it the responsibility of always being fashionably dressed, impeccable coif, an assistant, a butler, a maid, a financier, at the very least. People curtsy or bowing upon meeting. I would wear gloves to avoid germs, dirt, disease.I am financially reliable since I can provide my own tiara, having a selection of a few.I am humble, I try to help others without any monetary reward. Although, treasuring honesty, admit that I salvitate at the thought of compensation from people reading my gripes, quips, tips, trips posts.I am truly sorry!I got sidetracked, totally disregarding the question. I apologize. Oopsie.
