Bloggaria ~ A fairy tale of bloggers! Introduction

by catnipoflife

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, (I always wanted to write those words) there lived a beautiful princess and a handsome prince. But this story is not about them. We already know they lived happily ever after, as is the way with such things.

This cute and sweet, yet powerful and moving tale takes place in Bloggaria where the land proliferates with active and happy Bloggers.

Reblogged from Alastair's Blog:

I YouTube compilation of dogs and cats to brighten your morning (or afternoon)

Just a quick little funny to end the day. Thank you, Alastair. Some are quite hilarious while others make you go "Aw-w-w-w! Poor thing!" I don't like the one where the man tries to kick the cat My faves are the cat climbing the wall and the one moving the ottoman. Priceless! Of course, the animal world is full of surprises for both man and beast! ENJOY!

Which is your favorite?

I think this is a fantastic opportunity! Use it!!

This is a great opportunity for bloggers to come together, make new acquaintances and share their writing. NOT just for women...men definitely have an eye for the beauty in a woman!

Announcing: The Beauty of a Woman BlogFest II!

Words, stories and music… I struggle to think of entities more powerful. When I was enduring the darkest time of my life, the eating disorder I shared in my last post, this poem struck me like a dart between the eyes, pinning me to a wall of “What if?” What if its words hold true—not just rationally or solely for other people, but in my heart, soul and beliefs? What if we’re all beautiful and the truest, deepest beauty has little to do with shape or size? What if the “something more” so many of us long for exists inside of us, waiting to be unlocked and cherished? What if I wasn’t afraid of being large, but living large? And in doing so, missing out on the most remarkable beauty of all? Read MORE. . . and SIGN UP!

Awakening BUZZ Word 2013

by catnipoflife

Reblogged from Inspiration Import:

The word ‘awakening’, in my humble opinion is sure to be the buzz word of 2013. The world events in 2012 gave many a rude awakening. Although these horrid events have happened for centuries all over the world, the fact that we are subjected to details quickly and accurately to the point of bombardment with thanks to social media and the Internet has left many reeling.

In Our Hands

Will this baby
grow up surrounded
by love or war,
compassion or greed?
Will he learn kindness
or hate by his surroundings?
Will fear be his normality,
or will he reach for the stars?

We hold this child's life
in our hands. What we do,
or do not do will be a
deciding factor. He is
our tomorrow.

I can't believe we made it

Thank you Tom Curley for sending me the clip and reminding me -- we really did make it!

I'm not one of those people who romanticizes the 1950s, but there are some truths that are worth remembering and revisiting.

We lived in a very different world, where play meant using imagination and physical activity, not technology. If you were having a hard time with the bullies in school, you got up, got dressed and went to school anyhow.

THANKS…for your time (ONCE YOU READ THIS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND! )

I got this sent today by Email and for some reason it nearly made me cry... I thought it so powerful and impressive that I decided to share it here - on my blog, with all who'd like to read it. Maybe you will feel the same I did - maybe you will call me pathetic, I don't know. I do however wonder, what your impressions are.
