My life story on a postcard…
I was in Digg when I saw this blog:
Clever writer. Then, it occurred to me, this is what my life on a postcard would look like:
“The 25 Words of Work / Life Wisdom Writing Project”
I created a Twitter account. I am enthralled. I love all the conversations. As I sit in my home office running my business, I feel a lot less isolated. I actually feel as if I have adult interactions during my day. Trust me, it is a rarity and a treat.
It was on Twitter where Vicky @eeUS posted a link to her 25 words in response to Liz Strauss’ @lizstrauss
The 25 Words of Work / Life Wisdom Writing Project
Vicky’s 25 words were inspirational. So much so, I was motivated to check out Liz’s explanation of the project. Then, I was so intrigued, I wanted to give it a try. Here is my offering:
Marriage is overrated.
Marriage is forced by a society obsessed with conformity.
Live up to society standards or be shunned.
Not everyone is for marriage.
AH-HA! Kleenex Blogging Metaphor
Mid afternoon today, I decided to step away from my computer to engage in some off line research. Hmm…maybe a modicum of truth is really in order. You know the big blogging gurus encourage honesty and integrity, etc. OK. I slumped off to vegetate in front of the television. I am not feeling well.
I have a Kleenex in my hand when I see the “Let It Out” commercial on TV.
Click! I have the Oprah “AH-HA” moment. All through the blogosphere I see bloggers trying to explain what blogging is, who should blog, and why you should blog. Here is a simple metaphor:
Take a look at the “Let It Out” commercial.
The sofa = a blog
The person sitting on the sofa = the blogger
The person listening = a blog subscriber
The stream of people looking on/walking by = a one post reader; web traffic
Yes! You should have a box of Kleenex by your side when you read blogs.
For as many varieties of Kleenex boxes, for all your decorating fancies, there are blogs to bring you to tears. You may have tears of laughter or joy or sadness or you might just read blogs for a living and need a Kleenex cause ya just don’t feel well.
