Love Cycles

Love cycles …..by VJ Knutson

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Who instigated the abandonment?
It’s an ugly question
manifests pretensions
both sides righteous…
blinded

When the rage subsides
faith will intervene
and acceptance –
a milestone
will springboard

recover, victims’
voices gaining clarity
intent amended
launching into love
once again.

Who is a Fiery Female?

Empowered Women's avatarEmpowered Women

Who do you think is a Fiery Female? What does the term mean to you?

A fire-breathing dragon, a confident and assertive woman, someone who stands up for herself and others, someone who follows her pursues her goals quietly, but relentlessly?

Foraging wisdom

She carefully walked down the stairs, into the lawn, and foraged around to find a particular type of blade of grass.  I was infuriated to watch her eat that. “Don’t we feed you enough?” She was astounded for a moment, but came back in my arms in her usual, forgiving manner. The stomach upset she … Continue reading Foraging wisdom

So, here we go with our prompt word for this week

Write about what milestones mean to you, ones already achieved, and the ones you would like to reach.

Write about a journey you can’t forget.

♾♾♾

As a family, we are always celebrating milestones. Birthdays, anniversaries, special days all are remembered and celebrated. This year, or rather 2020 was different. Many milestones had to be celebrated alone or online!

The first birthdays of both the younger grandchildren had to be celebrated with just parents present and the rest of the family joining on Zoom. That said, it didn’t lessen the joy of the family and we thought that the next year will be different, better. But here we are in the fourth month of 2021 and still socially distancing and being extra careful as the third wave of covid…

Personalities

He’s charming. He showers praise on every little effort I make to keep the office machine running smoothly. Yet, I’ve a certain sense which reads between lines. Things can’t always be hunky-dory, so it made sense to accept that job offer which paid more. He doesn’t want to let me go, and is using every … Continue reading Personalities

Life’s Milestones…

Life’s milestones …..by Radhika

Bubbly baby’s progress defines

growing up milestones

painted in playful contours

in a blissful innocent world.

Teenage years chart a new course

mark the many firsts…a date, a kiss

romantic crush or rebellious streak

friends and ambition play a pivotal role

zeal to accomplish inks the milestones.

With a step into the professional world,

life ebbs into a comfort zone

many settle to the society’s norms

honor the events that unfold in due course

targets at work and family goals, outline the milestones.

Fading twilight waits for the ebony sky

to move on, into a destination unknown.

A glance into life’s rear view mirror reflects

celebration of life with its many milestones.

 The heart whispers a thanksgiving prayer!

Golden Milestone

Golden Milestone …. by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

I have been making posts on WordPress every day and I never get any of those consecutive streak notifications, although I have read many posts where other people get them.  They send out these milestone notifications to encourage bloggers to keep on blogging here on WordPress.  Right now, WordPress says that I have 1336 followers and so far, today I have published 5 posts and I have received 238 views, but this also includes older posts that I made.  Today I got 115 visitors, which have viewed my posts with an average 2.07 times per visitor and I don’t think that any of these statistics are a milestone for me.

Out of the posts that I wrote today, Thursday Inspiration #103 Just Like A Woman has been the most popular getting 24 views.  G is for Galveston got 13 views, What the Flock got 10, It Breaks My Heart received…
