Mindfulness and Poetry
Saturday, February 28th, 2009 | Self Improvement |
Everyone's a poet. Of course, everyone's a critic, too! This means that there are plenty of opportunities to heighten our awareness of words and how we use them. Words create pictures, and just as a painter uses a combination of colors and strokes to express a concept, we offer an artistic rendering of thoughts through carefully chosen words. Our linguistic intelligence is what allows us to both recognize and generate vivid word vignettes. Whether you enjoy novels, biographies, mysteries, ...› Continue reading

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 | Relationships |
Let's face it, not many of us have the kind of skills or experience to write truly poetic wedding vows. Or do we?

In fact, there are ways to learn to write the words you want. With four simple steps, you can take what you feel in your heart and make it come out as sweetly as any Shakespearian sonnet.

Creative Thinking 101
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 | Self Improvement |
Can creative thinking and even spontaneity come from a highly organized approach? Yes! For example, if you watch great comedians closely, you'll see that they have certain habits of mind. Even the most spontaneous ones get better with practice, because they're training their brains to find the humor in situations. In the same way, you can train yourself for more creative thinking. Just start cultivating the right habits in your mind. Why not start training your brain today, with some ...› Continue reading

How To Be Creative
Monday, February 23rd, 2009 | Self Improvement |
Have you ever heard the saying, "The harder I work, the luckier I get?" Guess what? That's the way it is with creative inspiration too. Don't Wait For Creative Inspiration Graham Green, the famous English writer, attributes much of his success to a simple habit: He forced himself to write at least 500 words daily, whether he felt like it or not. Creative inspiration can strike at any time, but it strikes more often when there is work instead of waiting. Don't Expect Creativity To Come ...› Continue reading

We've all been there, you've just heard the news that your friend has lost a loved one close to them, but what do you say? Here's a few tips to avoid the common mistakes that people make when friends are grieving.- Say Something! - some people are so worried about saying the wrong thing that they say nothing at all - this is even worse than saying something that you feel isn't helpful.

How Do You Write Poetry?

How Do You Write Poetry? by A K Whitehead The very short answer is: don't write at all unless you have to. The short answer is: in numerous different ways. A somewhat longer answer is: find the way that best suits you - that comes only from experience. But, one might reasonably ask, what different methods are there which can be tried in order to get started? Well... Don't Wait For Inspiration But don't take that as an absolute which suggests that one should not be inspired at all. Of course, we ...› Continue reading

We sat on the swing enjoying the warm summer air, truly without a care in the world. Cody, my 6-year-old nephew laughed, as he swung higher than me. His laugh made me smile. Afterwards, we went for a walk, looking at the gardens. As we were walking, Cody looked up at me and said, "Today is the best day!" I smiled at him and replied, "Yes, it is a great day." I then started thinking about what had we done that day? We didn't really do anything special; there was nothing that we did that cost ...› Continue reading

How to Tell Your Partner You Love Them
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009 | Relationships |
Remember the words from an old song... "Be sure it's true when you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie". The concept of "sin" has lost its meaning for many in our modern era, and even "love" has lost a significant portion of its importance. If you still believe in "falling in love" then you will realize how difficult it is to say, "I love you" in a meaningful way. Three little words that can change your life forever. The words, themselves, have lost their meaning because of ...› Continue reading
