Welcome to July’s blog party and the book cover reveal of my second poetry book.

Party Time

Can you believe that we are already done with the 1st half of this year? It’s been a roller-coaster year, but we must keep thankful for where we are, for each day and the opportunities that come our way.

Let’s kick in the next half with good positive vibes, motivation, focus, and gratitude.

I would love to thank all my newly acquired blogger friends. I appreciate your taking the time to connect with me on my blog. This is a blog that offers the opportunity to connect with others through monthly blog parties, featured posts,posts that caught my interest and author zone. Feel free to avail yourself of any of these opportunities.

I believe that we grow by supporting each other and I hope that you find that support here.

Do make yourself comfortable. Refreshments…

Three years in the mental asylum had taught her more about life, than a thirty-five year career in teacher in research.   Inspired by Sonya at  Three Line Tales … Continue reading Asylum

Toasted

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Being roasted and toasted has been an inseparable part of life. The cheering in response to the toast raised to our wedded bliss had barely died down, when I was hit on the face by my husband, for serving a burnt toast. Or was it fate jeering, “You want to be happy?”   Inspired by … Continue reading Toasted

My thoughts flow with the river stream I see my life mirrored in the distorted shapes and non-rhythmic sounds.   The stones speak to me with their sharp edges Blood flows in the water emphasizing insignificance of harbored resentments.   It appeared as if the universe was conspiring to prove the futility of life. I … Continue reading The Meaning of Life
