The first day of Spring 2009 is March 20th. Perhaps that would be a great day for you to begin gardening and blogging. You begin with the seed of an idea. You find the right spot to plant it so that it can grow and tap its potential. As it flowers, it has the capacity to add to the world, to bring attention, to inspire, to educate. It serves as a model for others to perpetuate thought, learning, and self-fulfillment.

What should you write about? No one can answer that for you. You will discover it yourself. Having a purpose in mind is probably the best springboard. Your experiences are a good starter. Others are interested in the trails and trials of homo sapiens, and, I suppose, in ALL living creatures to a greater or less extent.



Search your mind while you enjoy your evening walk. Find a theme. Try it on for size. Here are some examples to… Continue

TwitterTweets are 140 characters at the most. All are interested in the gossip, the venting, the quick shots which save time, but answer man's needs to contact, converse, and capitalize on the moment. Short and sweet applies to blogs,too. Redundancy is a no no.



Explain ideas carefully using good English. Develop a blog back-log of short writings to use on a rainy day when you can't find time to create. Let's call them "Clock Clicks". When… Continue

All people have ideas. We allow for growth, if we allow opportunities for interchange.



A speaker may present a topic and leave the room. Another person may speak on the same topic and ask for questions. The results may be quite different.



If you desire interaction, you may add commenting functionality to your blog:
