Accepting Rejection

Rejection letters are a part of the poet's life, as they are for any writer.

There's a website, the Rejection Collection, that encourages poets and writers to "laugh in the face of rejection."   Stop in -- it is a great relief to those of us who regularly receive rejection letters.
Maybe I'll see you there!

Hurricane in the Carribean

I used to spend my summers in Dominica, and the thought of the damage hurricanes cause to the island makes me sad.

The Value of a Blog

I've just come across this fun website, thanks to my friend silken, and I thought I'd give it a look to see how much my blogs are worth. I'll be posting the answer to that on each individual blog.

This one is worth:

 


My blog is worth $7,903.56.
How much is your blog worth?

Well, that's on the open market. Of course it is worth much more to me.

Wooden Beds

I recently remodeled my whole house. The beds were the last thing we settled, once everything else was done. It took a while to choose the right beds to fit the house. Maybe we are just fussy, but then, you really do want a nice bed that looks good, because it should last for a very long time.

To me, nothing beats the look of a nice wooden bed. I am a fan of oak when it comes to wood furniture, but in the bedrooms, we've gone with dark walnut furniture. I think it looks really nice, and it gives the room a cool feeling.

You will find a wide selection of Pine Beds, oak beds, painted wooden beds, light or dark wooden beds, children's wooden beds, and much more at www.wooden-beds.com. They are having a massive stock clearance sale, with up to 40% off now. This is the perfect time to have a look.

Contemporary Jewellery

If you are looking for custom Contemporary Jewellery, then I think you will like this website. At www.elementjewellery.com, you will find a wide range of specially made jewelry. It is all designed and made by the site owners. You'll find some very beautiful, unique pieces there. Most of the pieces are silver, which I happen to like very much. I think the silver earrings were my favorites, when I came across this site. 

You can also find other designer jewelry at the site.

Silken's beginnings

I've been talking a lot about my blogging pal, silken.  But let me take you back to where it all began for silken and me... sort of.

Silken used to blog with me under another name, skouba, at a site called Writing Up.  She learned the ins and outs of blogging there, like I did.  And she really maintained a fantastic blog there.

Sadly, the site is more or less defunct now (though you can find it popping up every now and then).  I miss the place there and the fun conversations we used to have.  I am glad, though, skouba/silken (or is it silken/skouba?  this always confuses me...) is now blogging elsewhere.  It would be sad to lose her insights in an online setting.  Interacting with her at the site is what I most miss about losing it.

I am, though, one of the lucky ones.  I know skouba/silken in real life, and have known her all my life.  So, for me, at least I won't lose touch with her, even if the whole internet falls apart!

Free Expert Advice on Cosmetic Surgery

I had surgery for the first time several years ago. It was a minor surgery to remove a small cyst. I knew it was no big deal, but then when the time came, I was very frightened. It's odd how that happens.... how our bodies know fear even when our minds might say there is nothing to be afraid of.

The best way I know to remove fear is to be informed. For people considering undergoing cosmetic surgery, there is good news. You can get free Cosmetic Surgery Advice at Ask an Expert. It's a subsite of a popular cosmetic surgery site in the UK. It is free, and you can get loads of good advice there.

So, before you undergo cosmetic surgery, do what you can to take the fear out of the process. Visit today and get your free advice on cosmetic surgery

Silken's communati

I am continuing to make my way through some blogs, writing a short entry introducing each of the sites of one of my blogging friends, silken.  Her newest one (to my knowledge) is at a new site called communati, which is a community-style blogging site.   I like how silken's personality really comes out in this casual setting, where commenting is as important as posting.  I haven't gotten into that site yet as much as I would like, due to a busy schedule since the site opened.  That means I haven't gotten to read all of silken's entriesat the new site -- not yet -- but I have enjoyed the ones I've read.

Take a look at this post on reading keys, where she shares some ideas about a tool she plans to use as she starts homeschooling her 2 young nephews.  I like how she shares there about her own philosophy of focusing on phonics rather than sight words.  It's the sort of discussion she often posts there, and is great for anyone who teaches kids (whether parents or teachers).  Many other bloggers get into the discussion, and it can be fun to watch how it all develops.

Stop by and visit silken there.  And while you are there, go ahead and sign up and join the conversation.  But let me warn you, you might get addicted.  ;-)
