Woosh -- Woosh!
Excuse me but I'm just blowing some dust off of my blog. I've been inspired by my daughter's blog Agape4Aloha to get mine going again. We both started blogs within days of each other not knowing that the other one had. Then we both got busy with other things and neglected them. She revived hers at the encouragement of her writing mentor and now here I am trying to revive mine.
It just goes to show you how things you do especially in the encouragement arena can have a ripple effect and maybe even a life changing effect for someone else. And the originator may never even be aware of what they have generated. Did David as a lad and then later as king know the words and psalms he was creating would still encourage people thousands of years later?
I think what the world needs today especially for our youth is for the writers and producers of murder, mayhem, nonsense and weirdness to have a change of heart or be replaced by those who can craft wholesome, entertaining, good stories of encouragement. Stories that can be life changing, stories that will generations later still have the same effect. Make the story more important and while there leave something to the imagination. I don't need to actually see the mutilated bloody body, I can imagine what it must look like just by seeing the detective react to it. Let the actors do their job in portraying enough to let my imagination fill in the details.
Oh - sorry - back to my blog. I'd like it to be an encouraging one and part of that will be just simple stories from my life, musings on a rainy day and at times showcasing some of the wonderful talent of my online friends and my own creative work as well.
I hope you'll come back for more and leave comments too!
Remember to encourage someone today! Someone may encourage you tomorrow!

Encouragement is a very important thing!! I try to encourage others, but especially my grandchildren. Please keep writing. I am going to try to post on my blog more often too.
I love seeing "the ripple effect" from doing something positive. You just never know where it will end up!
This is a great post. Thank you. I see the ripple effect at work, where one patient will encourage another...
I, for one, will definitely read it if you write it!
I have added you to my blog lines, so, blog on! I'd love to hear those rainy day ramblings!
Rose I love your post! Can't wait to read more from you! I can see where your daughter gets her writing talent!:)
You have warmed my heart! I agree about the "Writers", come out and tell the "good stories". Our grandchildren need to hear GOOD things.
Blessings to you. I loved your sharing.
