A walk about the web ....

Saturday August 13 2016

Just imagine that. We're well on our way chugging along in the 21st Century. I completely forgot about that. The 21st Century represented far into the future as a kid growing up, I recall. Remember 21st Century FOX?

We're so comfortable with the new Millenia, we're calling our children Millennium. And it is suppose to be a compliment of sorts. Think "no fear" and it pretty much sums it up.

One third are pretty respectful and go on to a fairly stable path, another third are feeling like they're hanging off a cliff and whether they can trust the hand leaning over to help save him. The final third are so busy blazing a new trail of innovators.

They really aren't defined by age or gender or any stereotype of any sort. Just things and people who came across my radar (in case you want to check it out) ::.... from the Entertainment channel by optioneerJM (Jeannette Marshall, Calgary, AB)::... on both Facebook and Twitter ::....

Hmmmm that looks pretty familiar. I'm thinking i need to go on an investigation.

Triumph over struggle

This blog was originally written earlier today (Saturday, March 4, 2017) on my optioneerJM blog on Word Press ~ where I find an atmosphere of support and celebration of original writing among those who write themselves. It is the highest compliment any fledgling writer can have. Like most of us at the tail end of Baby Boomers while being drowned out by Millennials, we're trying to get ahead. Achieve success, notoriety or acclaim. Subsidize our career choices with our inner voices. To help others, to help ourselves. To exhaust our demons by writing and exhuming scars that life has left on our brains. Confidence or competence A struggling battle between what we want to express and be appreciated for our words. So many of us write to right the struggles we have fought, the wars we have lost, the lessons we have learned. Gratitude: pitiful compensation We appreciate the acknowledgement by others who are in chained to the commo...

A topic that is too judgMENTAL ::... transgenders

Too few role models: SOURCE A question was posted on QUORA and I felt compelled to respond: Why don't transgender people use the restrooms corresponding to their genitals to try and end the needless transgender bathroom controversy? It is none of our business. This reminds me of things we have to struggle with growing up::…. what IS our identity? What IS our moral standard? Should others have THE right to determine what is best for US? Almost ALL of us in the age of inBETWEENers (born 1960 to 1965, neither Baby Boomers, Generation X, nor Millennials) must REMEMBER what the biggest questions of our day were? If others forgot, I can share with you: Do you or don’t you circumcise your newborn son? SOURCE : "Boys" by William E. Rochfort Remember that? I do. Is it necessary or more to do with mental well being our our son: likeness to daddy. It was something I read avidly read about because sometimes reading becomes “PEACE of MIND”. In this inst...

A mom's brag book of her #A+mazing millennial children

None of my kids read any of my blogs so it is pretty near 100% guaranteed that it is true. However, my one daughter told me that at least one of her friends reads this blog Out of the 6 or 7 blogs that I curate and/or I write about varying topics that interest me or developed or furthering knowledge on something that grabs me. Having grown up conversations with a daughter is a new and wonderful experience. How far we've both grown from a nervous wreck of a mother, tasked with an ailing son who needed additional care and attention while she was a bright shining star, oozing with talent from every pore. A mother's gift is sometimes recognizing the gift in her children. Why else would Elvis Presley's mom have been the subject of his first recording? A miracle talent nurtured and encouraged by a mother's love. There are far too few examples shared in the world these days. SIDEBAR: (I haven't done one of these for quite so...
