The lovers, the dreamers and me

Inspired 1 Minute

I was visiting my grandchildren in a “Biblebelt” state and it’s usually is a bit of a culture shock. It takes me a few days for my ears to adjust to the accent and for my brain to remember I’m in “polite company” in a very Red section of a Purple state. I wish I could say I was totally disconnected from the news and social media, but that’s not who I am. Despite spending days having fun with my granddaughters and their parents, it seems that the only thing my muse wants to talk about is politics, but I’m feeling like I need a Rainbow Connection instead. This is one of the first posts as I started writing this year. A blogger that I follow wrote a post that reminded me.

A Roze By Any Other Name

For this assignment, I try to conjure up a visual of who will read my blog- my audience. I’ve spent the past couple of days visiting other writers, looking at style and content while trying to imagine their respective audience. I find that there are some fabulous sites out there and I try not to be intimidated by the talent or expertise that I see. I know that I tend to enjoy sites that have a personal component even though it may be a business page. I decided to focus on MY passion – why am I writing?

Whatever it is, keep it up. We do need all kinds of writers. And people.

    1. Funny you should say that. Sometimes I drive my family crazy by looking at “life from both sides.” I believe there is more to people, the world and life if you will, than what we see with our naked eye. I saw this TED Talk yesterday from 2011. I don’t know how you feel about Jane Fonda, but I thought it was interesting.
      I had a hard time copying this link. Hope it works https://www.ted.com/talks/jane_fonda_life_s_third_act?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare.

      1. Very strange, Lindi. The video page comes up, but it absolutely refuses to play. I am willing to listen to most things, but I never know how I will react to what I hear. Maybe I can get to this video by a different direction. I’ll let you know.

      2. It is from TED Talks. I found it interesting, not spectacular but food for thought. I searched Jane Fonda, TED Talks to find it again when your comments reminded me of her topic. Good luck
