Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern

PAY DAY THURSDAY: Introducing Jim The Running Son

A day at the Beach. A ‘Storetry’ Collaboration with my Word Press community. Stuff It Tuesdays with the Mrs. Join in!

Welcome to our first Stuff it Tuesday Collaboration!  It was fun to see all of the writing and poems that people came up with and even more fun trying to make it into a fluid ‘storetry’.  Quite the challenge.  I had all of the entries laid out on my floor last night along with a glass of wine.  There are so many talented people in our Word Press community.

I decided to add each persons blog link underneath their entry.  This seemed to be the best way to keep track of each entry, so as you read, read past the links and then you can go back and check out people’s blogs when you have finished the ‘storetry’.  I want to give a shout out to Valerie.  She missed the deadline but also submitted this image so I included.  I apologize for having to refuse some submissions.   I had to set a time line so that I had time to put this all together.  I hope you all understand and that you will contribute to next weeks ‘storetry’ which you will find at the end of this weeks collaboration.

I really hope you enjoy the collaboration.

Alright, enough from me.  Happy reading.

A day at the beach with Word Press

I have so many fond memories of days at the beach, packing up the car and spending days in the sun.  I love being surrounded by the sand, water and the warm wind.  But let me tell you I have many a story about my times at the beach!

Stuff it Tuesday Reminder!

Writing-writing-31306493-411-354

The deadline for the Stuff it Tuesday entries is in 2 hours.  Anything received after 4:00pm my time will not be entered to give me time to review and put it all together.

I’m really pleased with the submissions so far, the ‘storetry’ is coming together nicely! Please be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the final result!

Have a beautiful day enjoying the wonderful weather that Mother nature has bestowed upon us.

Happy Monday.

 

Think Green. Come see what I mean!

How many of us have been to weddings and baby showers or even birthdays and gone out to buy a card to go with our gifts?

Um, I would say I think everyone has at some point or another.

My sister in law (my brothers wife) is pregnant with her second child (my first niece, YAY)

I recently received an invitation in the mail to attend the baby shower.  Included was a poem.  I want to share it with you,

Although cards are nice with their sentiment and prayer,

They’re read once or twice then tucked away with care.

A book is a treasure words and pictures unite,

Read over and over to teach and delight.

So instead of a card for Babies and Mother,

Please give a child’s book with your thoughts in the cover

Your book will be cherished; God will watch from above,

When it’s read they will remember your kindness and love.

I don’t know whom the author is it didn’t say!

What a nice sentiment.

While I have dedicated many a book (written in the front cover my thoughts and messages) to my children and others this is the first time I have received it in an invitation.  This is such a fantastic idea.

Weekly Writing Collaboration Challenge with the Mrs. For writers, poets and photographers…come on I know you have the ‘write’ stuff!

Image

So I have come up with a weekly collaboration idea!  I challenge you as writers and poets to “stuff” my opening and closing paragraphs with a written paragraph of no more than 5 sentences or a poetry verse of 6 lines that would fit as the “stuffing” of the story.

But don’t do this… Continue reading

How I long to once again,

look down from above,

to the younger version,

of the eyes from my kids whom I love!

And of course where there are children there are cookies! Here are our gingerbread cookies that we each made over Christmas. One for every member of the family.  Mrs. and Mr. in the middle.  For more on my family adventures check out my Mommy blog at Writings of a Mrs Mommy

29 Days, 11,000 hits. 1,800 followers (1,100 from Word Press!) Read this if you are interested in Pay it Forward Thursdays. PAY DAY

Hey everyone.

One of my New Years Resolutions was to start a blog and to write. It was also to go the gym regularly but that didn’t last too long!  The blogging, well I am almost one month into it now and I have no intention of slowing down.  I’m loving writing and the blogging community and starting projects like PAY DAY

That being said I started a google + (writingsofamrs Jennifer) account with a You Tube Channel.  Here is the address to the Channel it is still under construction but please feel free to sign up (however you do that!?)  http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr13m4Cz8ZUgelYk1Lokudw .  The primary reason for this is for the ‘release’ or ‘debut’ of Rays rendition song Gravy Baby, along with any other future projects.  Please bare with me because I really am walking in the dark trying to make all of this happen.  I really appreciate all of your support and encouragement.  If anyone has any helpful info for me on how to manage the You Tube channel etc that would be excellent!

I will be posting an intro video followed by Rays video that you can link to through my blog in my PAY DAY Thursday post around 2:00 pm my time.  I will give more info about the upcoming Thursdays collaborations along with some other general information.

I’m looking for other song writers, musicians, DJ’s, performers etc to collaborate with so if you know anyone that might be interested please have them contact me!  But make sure that they read my original Pay Day post first.  ( I don’t need any emails with people asking me for money!) Any one else that would like to participate please contact me by email, it’s easier for me to keep on top of it that way. writingsofamrs@outlook.com

Thank you again for all of your inquiries.  I am doing my best to keep on top of responding to all of the emails and to also keep on top of my comments and my posts and engaging with the Word Press community!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Culture

Weekly Photo Challenge: Culture

I feel that there are so many representations of culture in this image. From the messages on the signs, the people, the art, the music, photographers, the location, advertisements, to the scantily clad woman in the billboard. Take some time to really look into it and you will find more and more representations of culture.

Feet Upon It

Today is Earth Day.  Be kind to our earth.  It’s the only one that we have.

I was inspired to write this poem by the many beautiful posts from Tyler. 

Please visit The ancient eavesdropper

 

Feet Upon It

 

Water flowing,

Plants growing,

Life showing

 Dust and mist

Hovers just above

As slight as a dove

 Boulders and rocks

Mountains

Towering high

Like the flocks in the sky

 Humidity in the air

Space to share

 Wetlands,

Woods

                                                                                           Desserts

                                                                                              Reefs

 Lush and sand

 Light and dark

 This planet

Treats us so well

Lessons to learn

In giving

In nourishing

 

Our planet,

 With your feet upon it

 

Be gentle with your hand

On the country

That your feet stand
