The long lost art of the Smile.
http://www.mixedplateblog.com/2009/10/smile.html
Have you forgotten how to smile?
Have you forgotten how to be patient and kind? Have you forgotten how to be thoughtful, helpful? When was the last time that you opened a door for someone, went to their aid when they dropped their books? When was the last time that you connected with a stranger through a meaningful exchange? When was the last time you asked after someone’s well being? Weekend? Family? And actually meant it and were eager to hear the answer?
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY NEW WRITINGSOFAMRSMOMMY BLOG!
http://www.lvmakeup.com/2012/05/happy-mothers-day.html
I decided to split my blog and create a mother blog. This new blog will be about my journey as a Mom, wife, homemaker, order taker and over all life as a Mother to 8 children.
I will use this blog as I always have but on the other I will write more about my kids and the joy’s and journey of parenting, home renovating, marriage, recipes etc
I wanted to have a ‘my space’ that is separate from the day to day on goings of Mother hood. Please join me on my journey as it spreads.
So I welcome you to join me at http://writingsofamrsmommy.wordpress.com
It’s up and running now, so go and take a peak.
The first official post will be on Mother’s Day. Isn’t that fitting?
Cheers,
Jennifer
So You Want Traffic? 5 Things NOT To Do.
People have been flooding my email with questions asking how I did ‘it’. What did I do? How could I have 2,250 followers and over 16,000 hits in just 40 days?
So out of respect for inquiring minds I will share some of my ‘tips’ on how to be a ‘prominent’ member of the blogging community.
Five things NOT TO DO (so don’t do them!)
PAY DAY THURSDAY: Introducing Jim The Running Son
http://www.robynlayton.co.uk/index.php?/project/battle-arts-logo/
So this week I have collaborated with Jim, The Running Son in my first ever attempt at a ‘poetry’ battle, poem collaboration!
Don’t forget to vote at the end!
Let’s find out a little more about Jim. The drum roll please…..
Nonsensical

The poem begins now.
So I call this poem nonsensical. I wanted to challenge myself. I always try to search for and pass on meaning, depth, an underlying message in my poetry and I thought this might be a great exercise to help me write outside of my box. To help me learn to write words that have no correlation, that are nonsensical. But see this is impossible because all things are related and all words are correlated. Whether we have the eyes to see it or the soul to feel it. You can never walk away from it.
While this exercise stretched my word association and the way I think about words I realized that I quite like my box.
So I either failed this exercise miserably or it led me further, deeper in my journey to self-discovery.

The Butterfly Box
There once was a little girl,
With rosy cheeks and hair all a curl.
She loved to dance and she loved to play
In her very own innocent way
Until one day
She didn’t want to dance
And she didn’t want to play
She had all these feelings
that would not go away
