I thought of something this morning that seemed like an "aha" moment. With so much "expert" advice on how to do something if you want to be successful we can get lost all to quickly in the distress of not matching up to somebodies expectation.
Well....I dare to offer a different take on the situation. Here it goes!
For the last good many Years we have been fine tuning our ability to move Thumb and Index finger in an almost athletic movement to get in touch with all things social. We (well I don't so much...because I owned neither Fruit or any other fancy Phone) are on it pretty much 24/7. Who still can recall the color of their Children's Eyes....you know I am not far off. Have you seen or been in the company of Folks that while sitting across from you have performed their almost athletic ability in running their ligaments to dispense yet another "Like" or now even more to the point a "Love, Wow, Haha, Sad or Angry."
Anyways back to the point at Hand, which is this....because of the constant connection to the diverse devises (say that fast three times) we are seemingly connecting that to every aspect of Life, to include blogging...and so following the multitudes of advice rendered one needs to commit many hours in the Day to be blogging which one cannot really do so well if one is writing about Life....for one needs to be in it to share it effectively. Same holds true when writing about Fashion or eating. You kinda need to do both in order to have something to write about and share. Then again it is just my observation.
So...that "killer post" we need to write to get an audience and keep it too...well...as with the sheer meaning of "killer" however it means putting an end to something. So as for my Blog I will aim for a combination of living and thus sharing becoming my own little expert at something with a whole lot of practice while seeking to grow in Life itself...and you know....that will be ok too.
How do you see it?

I felt like a "Boost" today, and nothing to "Ensure"....dang it though, my habit of checking the Ingredients in spite of the claim that it held complete nutrition got the best of me.,.and the result!!!...I dumped the stuff down the drain! Why?!!!
For one, 10 gr/15 gr. of Sugar as part of the daily recommended amount
http://authoritynutrition.com/how-much-sugar-per-day/is not worth it to me. Moving on, 240/220 Calories on a daily amount of Adult calories
http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/sites/default/files/usda_food_patterns/EstimatedCalorieNeedsPerDayTable.pdf ....nope! and when Corn Syrup Solids coming from Corn/Soy Oil, being GMO http://responsibletechnology.org/10-reasons-to-avoid-gmos/ since there is no approved sign http://www.nongmoproject.org/2013/06/19/non-gmo-project-verified-label-receives-approval-for-meat-liquid-egg-products/ to identify otherwise on either Bottle + artificial flavor in both http://organics.org/natural-vs-artificial-flavors/.
So here is the big question! What in these Products have qualified it's claim of complete Nutrition????
In this busy World we live in we gave away our need to understand too easily in the site of claims that we are being looked after with healthy products.

Uiii....you're eating what????
We heard it all. That unfamiliar Dish of healthy goodness made fun of by a majority of People who think nothing wrong when the commercial says "we now have all white Meat.... what the heck????!!!! What was in there before?? are asking the ones being snubbed for their wise food choices.
Crazy things is in the beginning....yes....the way long time ago when we had been provided with all that was needed http://www.oklahomawildcrafting.com/ for food with value in all aspects of Life.
We started a trend however, unique to Mankind, carried all the way into today "I wish it would do....or...I wonder how to make it...." If you finished the sentence with "better" has that really come true?
Much of the population currently spends their time hunched over, tending to their social Media happenings, puckering up for yet another selfie. Such self indulgence would not be possible if we were still gathering our Meal by way of harvesting from Field and Farm.

It can be tough to do amidst GMO's and Herbicides, yet with proper knowledge Wildcrafting and good association with a Wildcrafting group there could be incredible Joy in finding a happy medium in the form of a Salad brought on by the Land. Imagine what it could do for the mindset...no not that...because with proper identification skills, no different then when you are in another Country not knowing what many things are, but the mindset "I wish I could do more for a better environment". I am an Idealist....always hoping that People will have that split second change of Heart for something better, something life changing not just for them but for us all ultimately.
So instead of using up Money and Time to fly to the Moon, maybe you could become the Star that brings back the Bees who will secure our Food supply and on Sunday afternoon become the Hero that takes the Family on a walk showing care and appreciation for all things Nature and properly educated maybe even a foraged Salad to boot.

Ahhhh Love!
Met, fall in Love....the End.
Far from the truth. That's where Life starts!
So we meet, something clicks and then we get together once, twice...and Life kicks in with its routine. Which one? The one where we spend most all the time together, make plans, look at the future? Then the Fella says something to the effect of "I am no good for you" whoah oh nooooo. Quickly we dig for the nurture card....poor Guy (bruised by Life....surely) and we do what we do so well....we nurture (and right here....first warning sign...totally overlooked!!)
Life continues with its routine. We gave all we got, in more ways than one. Then a recognition hits (magnified by other's observation)....it's always just one that accepts an invitation to a social event. Oh well there is just so much going on...and the nurturing continues along with the routine. So do the reasons why things are fine just the way they are (for the Fella).
Until one Day...make that many Years later (come...we had gotten so good at this nurturing thing) the one thing that should have stood out was absence of warm and fuzzy. The spontaneous anything.
Hope, Faith and Love had firmly placed themselves and kept going when the going should have stopped long time ago. After all even on social Media we can read damming comments about the status of our Love. All that and more finally made way for sorrow to come rushing in, mounting high like a pile of Fall leaves and there it is...while we learned to grow far beyond our normal ways in matters of the Heart, we gave and gave, forgiving again and again and thus had become Masters in the Art of unconditional Love. What we never were asked though I believe is to become the Object of being used. Big difference, tough to see when we think we are acting from the Heart and make it ok somehow.
So now we have found ourselves at a Cross road. We are hurting too much from all that we now understand for a Fella can hardly find love in his Heart when only offering as little time as possible to the one next to him, while having many others in the pipe line on standby as well.
We have reclaimed, or many times finally discovered our own value and comprehended that we are worth so much more and having practiced Hope, Faith and Love all along we have discovered that there is still room in our Heart to close one Door and willing to open another this time (hopefully) with the skill to open the right one!
And you know what? While it is a tough lesson to learn we have come out alright on the other end with something far better than that Fella (the blessing of an unanswered prayer) and a capacity to love in ways denied to him by way of choices....and while not having asked for that kind of a lesson, we got it anyhow and look how fine we turned out!!!!!
