I’ve been working with the Word Press platform for just about 9 years now. What started as utilizing the platform to build my first blog, slowly grew into a passion for the platform itself and it’s functionality. Over the years, I’ve learned the fine art of developing a Word Press blog and/or website. I want to share some tips with readers in a new series here.
First, let’s start with some basics. (more…)

Faith, Trust & Hope. Ambition, Determination & Will. Motivation, Passion & Interest. These are the keys to success. I re-mind myself daily of each key and strive to keep myself actively engaged in each key as work to gain prosperity and abundance in my life. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

I wrote Watch Us Stand Strong in 1994. I’ve shared it here before but felt today was a good day to share it again:
Watch Us Stand Strong
Long have we walked
Through the valley of our sadness,
Searching for a way
To end all the madness.
Long have we toiled,
Silent and unnoticed,
Suppressing our knowledge
And our gift to heal the world.
We are large by number,
We are small through the ages,
There are few that have spoken,
Few that dare to read
Our pages.
We are mothers,
We are daughters,
We are sisters,
We are friends;
We contain the lifeblood,
And the passion
Of all the universe
In our souls.
We are women,
Full of knowledge,
And beauty;
The Queens of our planet.
We are home now,
Watch us stand strong,
It is time to heal
Our world.

J. Krishnamurti…
Without passion how can there be beauty? I do not mean the beauty of pictures, buildings, painted women, and all the rest of it. They have their own forms of beauty. A thing put together by man, like a cathedral, a temple, a picture, a poem, or a statue may or may not be beautiful. But there is a beauty which is beyond feeling and thought and which cannot be realized, understood, or known if there is not passion. So do not misunderstand the word passion. It is not an ugly word; it is not a thing you can buy in the market or talk about romantically. It has nothing whatever to do with emotion, feeling. It is not a respectable thing; it is a flame that destroys anything that is false. And we are always so afraid to allow that flame to devour the things that we hold dear, the things that we call important. ~~ The Book of Life

J. Krishnamurti…
In most of us there is very little passion. We may be lustful, we may be longing for something, we may be wanting to escape from something, and all this does give one a certain intensity. But unless we awaken and feel our way into this flame of passion without a cause, we shall not be able to understand that which we call sorrow. To understand something you must have passion, the intensity of complete attention. Where there is the passion for something, which produces contradiction, conflict, this pure flame of passion cannot be; and this pure flame of passion must exist in order to end sorrow, dissipate it completely. ~~ The Book of Life
