About Myself

Hello, I am Talin and I reside in Canada. Writing has been a passion of mine in the last 18+ years and I have done a whole lot of writing and publishing articles for my Armenian community and church, on Facebook, and other websites. My family and my friends told me that I am a wonderful writer who has a great gift to put words together, to really move people with my thoughts. A friend of mine who is also a blogger like myself said to me, that “With Our words, we can move mountains”. I will never ever forget those words and I will never forget how that made me feel. I know all of us in this world has a talent or has a strength. I believe in not throwing your talent and your gifts away, and I believe that we can all make a difference in our world and really spend time with just yourself and think about your strengths, talents and so much more. develop a strong relationship with yourself and you will be surprised on what you will discover. Well, now you all can discover me and my world of words.

When you work hard at something, when you want something bad enough, you will get it, but first you must earn it. Things do not happen overnight. You must reach your goal by working at it. My passions are mostly revolved around writing. I love to blog, I love to write and somehow, someone, people, somewhere, a celebrity, a talk show host, a huge public figure will pick up on it and hopefully my writings and my messages will benefit people out there for their own good. I care about people very much and these issues around the world and its my goal to send out these messages to everybody. I am going to keep working at it and I will not give up!

  6. hi thanks for following me. it was hard to find your site and the About page keeps disappearing. However, I am impressed that you’ve managed to get Twitter and Facebook on your site. I still can’t work that out! Lots of things I still can’t work out. I will try and follow you, if i can work it out?

    • Jenny, if you have any problems with WordPress that you can’t figure out just email their support people. They have helped me out more times than I can remember.

  104. “When you work hard with something, when you want something bad enough, you will get it.” Yep I believe that, anyway, my final examination is coming. Thank you Talin.

  107. Hi

    While I am searching for an article on Global warming when I reached your blog. What can i say, words got lost (Believe me they were right there in my mind but suddenly when I read your article they vanished :P).

    Well apart from joke, I must say that you are doing a marvellous job by spreading your thoughts in your way. I may not be able to discover your whole blog, as I am from karachi, Pakistan and in any minute our power will be failed… :P… but I do read your article about infomertials… wow… you know when ever i saw those stupid irritating commercials I always thought am i that uneducated or am I from Roman empires??? when I was reading that article, I wont just reading your article but I was reading my thoughts too.. and i think that one good quality must exist in you that u know the thinking of layman.

    Well whooooooshh….. My house power just gone and now the next turn will be of my UPS :P… so i may hurry and must say best of luck in your writings and may Allah fullfil all your good thoughts 🙂

    regards

    Ahmad Ladhani

  115. Hi Talin. Nice to meet you. Rebs from itsy bitsy here.
    we’d just like to thank you for visiting our site and following us especially since you have such a popular site yourself! your support is much appreciated.
    fantastic outlook on life.
    what’s your favourite thing to write about?

  117. Talin,
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m re-inspired to blog by your “about” section. I too have been encouraged to write by my friends and hope to help others with my words. I would love to move a few mountains with my words. Heck, I’d be happy just to inspire or uplift a few people.

    Keep on writing and encouraging others.

  119. thanks for following my blog, I’m glad to find your blog through it 😀 I agree that you are a great writer. I really enjoy reading your posts especially the one about bullying, doing good deeds for people and the importance of saying thank you.

  122. Thanks for following my blog. I really enjoyed reading your blog as well and you have a very wonderful message. Don’t forget that even if high profile people do not read your writings, its the little people that matter the most. If you encourage just one person to help another, and they in turn help another, you have impacted three. Just imagine the progression of hope you are spreading!

  136. So happy you found my blog because now I found you! I love what you said in your ‘About Me’ – so true. We must work hard and our words WILL affect people (hopefully positively). Keep on writing and inspiring us all, including myself. 🙂

  139. Hello Talin! Thanks for following me. I hope we can be good friends….please do not hesitate to stop by in my blog….coz I think we would understand each other’s feelings….since I am a writer myself – though I’m still amateur! ^_^

  140. What a great attitude and inspiring message of courage and hope you bring. Glad to follow your blog and thank you for stopping by mine. We have similar dreams and visions. All the best to you, FaithDream

  150. Hi Talin!

    Thanks like the others, thank you very much for stopping by my blog, liking a post, and choosing to follow me.

    Echoing the last commenter, I think you have more comments here on your About page than I have received on all of my posts and pages combined over two years!

    Well, ok, I exaggerate, but looking over the content of your blog, it’s easy to see why you get such a response. What goes around come around, and you put out a lot of great positive thoughts and ideas.

    Cheers!

  203. You do seem to have a way with words. I read your post about everyone being special and it was indeed encouraging and motivating. It made me want to go out and use my talents to help someone else and to stop getting down on myself because I cannot do a certain thing someone else can do. Thank you so much for the follow. Keep writing your heart out!

  204. Thanks for following my blog. I spent 7.5 years in Northwestern Ontario! I like your blog comment about changing or not changing.

  205. Hello Talin, thanks for following my blog and encouraging a “new blogger”. How very kind of you and nice blog you have! We are quite a distance between Canada and Austria – hope we can get to know one another better and inspire each other. Renate

  206. Thanks for following my blog, Talin! I love your “About Me” page, it looks like you have a really great blog! I look forward to seeing what you have to say. 🙂

  209. Hi Talin, Thanks for following my blog…I enjoyed reading about you and you do write beautifully! I am glad you are strong and courageous. An excellent role model for women and girls everywhere.

  212. Hi Talin, thanks for following me. I like your blog a lot and I am looking forward to receive notifications of your new entries. I like to write too and your blog posts are great. I enjoy reading them. Thanks!

  214. Hi Talin! Thanks for your blog & thanks for following mine! I’m new at this so hopefully this is coming through from CrudMyKidsSay & not my original & not-sure-of-I’m-keeping blog, LifeLoveRetail. Keep on!

  220. Thanks Talin for the Follow and staying positive in your messages. As a newbie Blogger it’s always great to have someone spend a few minutes reading something you’ve written. Keep pedaling!

  221. Hi Talin, thanks for following my blog. You have a great story, never give up on your passion.

    It’s almost fate that I ran into you. I am the Director of Content Development & Business affairs for The Social Writers, a brand new free social community for Independent writers such as yourself (website under construction).

    In the digital era with E-Books, blogs, and other outlets, it’s become easier for an independent writer to get noticed, but there really isn’t a single cost effective outlet for a writers to provide support for each other. I’ve found a few out there, but they require some kind of membership fee, or they have a “stuffy” feel to them and seem like they are for the upper echelon of writers sitting around the fire sipping wine and writing by candle light (yes, I actually picture that when I see some of the sites out there believe it or not).

    So I wanted to make a place for people to come, chat, talk about writing,bounce ideas around, support each others work, and maybe have some fun competition around it for free, with no pressure. The goal is community support, and collaborative writing contests.

    The website is currently under construction with a projection of being live mid January, but I welcome you, your community, and anyone you know that likes to write to come be a part of The Social Writers community. You can reach us at http://www.thesocialwriters.com or follow us on Twitter @TSWriters.

    Thanks for following my blog, i’ll do the same for you, and please keep rowing forward and continue to do what you do best.

  223. Stopping by to meet you – thanks for following. Glad you liked my post “A Story for All Seasons”. Great photo above. Cute photo on the side “you are special”. And, beautiful background and header (nice looking blog in other words). I like the layout out-tabbed dates. Pretty cool. Enjoyed visiting and hope to be back to look around in more detail. Thanks again!

    • Thanks for the follow….I used to follow you when I was half heartedly blogging before so it is great to find you again now that I have started again. I look forward to getting your posts.

  228. Hey there ! You’re soooo popular, I just like it !

  236. oh hey thanks for following my blog. i must also say that i admire your effort in really telling the world what you have in mind. way to go! people as determined as you are pretty rare.

  238. Hi Talin, I wanted to thank you for liking my post! I just read about you on your blog site
    and must say I am very impressed! So many followers and awards! I am just starting out blogging, I began the middle of October and so far have about 20 followers, I would love to see my blog grow and would appreciate any advice you may have since you seem to do so well. I hope you have a blessed day! Leigh

  241. Thank you for following my blog, it’s great to find like minds here in the blogosphere. I love to write and like many others hope to one day cross the “get published” line off of my bucket list.

  242. Hi Talin
    It makes writing just that little bit more worthwhile when someone likes your blog enough to follow it, so many thanks for following mine. I like your words and your thoughts and will definitely read more of your blog.

  244. Thanks for reading.
    Its always satisfying when you discover there are others out there who like what you do.
    Take care.
    Ed

  246. Thank you Talin for your positive feedback! Please have a great day/week and continue to put out great posts! Aloha from Hawaii, Wes

  247. Thank you for encouraging me Talin. It was very kind of you to reach out and be my first follower! Your spirit shines through your words. I wish all the best for you as you change the world through your writing.

  249. HI Talin, I like that you write without giving up, knowing the results will come in time. I’ve decided to start paying stats far less attention and just writing because I love to do it and someone somewhere will get something out of it. Thanks for the follow.

  256. Thank you for visiting my corner of the blogosphere. I’m glad to meet you, Talin! My blog is less than a year old. A wise friend told me to write, and the people who need to read it will find you. So keep writing and believing! Elizabeth

  258. Thanks for the like. Even though we’re mainly focused on business in our SMBMatters blog, we try to take good living and lifestyle issues into consideration as well, so we’re glad to connect with you on that important level. By the way, we have a huge and awesome Armenian community thriving here in Chicago!

  260. Hi Talin,
    Thank you for visiting my blog. It is very nice to meet you. I will definitely be visiting yours from now on. Love the look of your blog. Absolutely beautiful. Stay blessed in all that you do.

  261. Talin, I like to have peace in world and I was also talking to one of my friend about it lately and I felt that you too have a thought on world peace. I believe People should shed all their original thoughts and have a thought on world peace to create a better world. 🙂

  265. Hello, Talin:
    Thank you for reading my blog about Château Amboise. I agree, there is a lot of pleasure to be had and shared from writing. I’ve always enjoyed it since I was little and now I enjoy keeping a diary of my travels. Do you like travelling too? If so, where are your favourtie places?

  271. Hello there,

    Wow, 281 Comments so I’m now 282. Not to mention repetitive.

    Typing is still a bit difficult because of the stupid car door/hand thing, but I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for subscribing to my blog. I’m always very flattered when people do so. Also, I’m quite bewildered, as I wonder who would want to read it on a regular basis? What crap!

    Thanks again and take care,
    PA

  275. Talin, Such a nice intro to who you are and why you’re doing what you do. It’s so obvious that you love to write and blog; I look forward to reading more of your posts and more of your blog. Thank you for following and feel free to ask me to address issues that would interest you and your followers; no I don’t have THAT many, but it’s growing and writing science stuff takes a bit of time to make FUN AND INTERESTING!

    I look forward to reading more of your posts and will nose around now.

  278. Talin, lupus put an end to my 20+ year nursing career; THAT I LOVED. Instead of making friends with Rosie and Dr. Phil, I decided to do something productive and before long, I was published. Unleashed, like Mr.Clean! Watch out world, I’m off in a different direction.

    I LOVED your perspective of your trip to Chicago; which was my town for my nursing career an where I lived for 26 years. Isn’t this world of writing a ‘fun’ fascinating world? Full of experiences; at least for me, I didn’t grow up w/ computers, so all this blogging is self-taught and a full-time job. Would you link me?

  280. I always enjoy finding other Christians who are also artists – especially writers/authors. Too many folks don’t realize that the Arts are a Gift from God. Our role in His image as Creator.

    God’s blessings for Christmas.
    Wayne

  281. Wow, what a lot of followers. You should be proud. It means you have something for people to hear and people are responding.
    Thank you for visiting my blog. I’d love to know how to connect to other blogs. I don’t know the steps.

  282. Thanks for the follow – and for then helping me find yours! I’ve liked what I’ve read so far especially the post about You Are Beautiful, No Matter What Anybody Says”. Great stuff!!

  283. Thank you for the follow. Your blog is an inspiration for me to develop my blog in a way that it will inspire others as yours does. Your writing is lovely, and I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. The ingredients will be on my next grocery list! Have a wonderful weekend.

  296. Talin, thanks for following my blog. I so agree with what you said about not throwing away our talents. In fact, that concept is a main motivator for me as a writer. I’m looking forward to following your post.

  303. Talin,
    Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog. I struggle at writing, so I am honored that you, a clearly gifted and talented and dedicated writer – have chosen to come hang out at my site upon occasion. AS I said yesterday – writing gets easier the more i do it, but i still struggle. So you can be my muse.

    Shalom & Namaste

  304. Talin! Thank you for liking my post and following my blog! I really enjoyed reading a few of your post, especially about keeping memories. I always keep things from travels, activities/events that are special to me though i’m trying to figure out how to best hold these memories without the stuff taking over my home. For me, some things have become clutter. It definitely takes some organization and self-control. Looking forward to keeping up with your blog. =)

  307. Hello! Wanted to say thanks for finding my blog as well. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed my post on loving others, “To Uncle Scrooge!”, this holiday season. Like you, I love to write and believe that talents should not be wasted and that we can see good things over time, God willing. Best of luck to you and keep up the good work!

    Take care,

  308. Thanks for popping in on my blog today. I’m somewhat new to this whole blogging thing, and it means a lot that you took the time to read my words. Also, I have a special fondness for Northern Ontario. I can see how you could be in love with a highway up there.

  325. Hi, Talin. Thank you for subscribing to my blog. Yours is so interesting and I’m going to subscribe to it as well. We writers need to nourish and nurture our passion, feed the fire, and share with others. I love a vibrant writing community.

  327. Hi Talin,

    I like your enthusiasm and your positive attitude. I often find I could use a little more of both. Anyway, thanks for visiting 20 Lines A Day and taking the time to give a liking to my First Impressions.

  335. Hi there, I’m the blogger ‘Petulantchild’, and thanks for liking my post “Check Out The New Malls”, and following my blog. Out of curiousity, how come you like the post? I didn’t think it was very compelling and in fact I consider it a filler because I want my blog to be updated regularly, and couldn’t find something really interesting to write about.

  337. Great to learn about your passion for writing.
    I went to hear my neighbor sing last night.
    He has been at it for more than 40 years (of course his music was frozen in the late 60’s).
    But he did not miss a beat, nor a day of performing.
    I came away thinking, how enduring was his: eye, ear, vocal and finger coordination.
    Just the 7 notes. And here we are, with a string of Alphabet. More challenging and infinite choice.!

  338. Thanks for coming by my blog.
    We all start somewhere right?
    It’s so important that we do what we’re gifted to do.

    Thank you for following my blog and like. Seeing that you’re a write it inspires me to write even more. A journal is not complete without ones wisdom and experiences and your description of life leaves a mark on me.

  343. Thanks, Talin, for visiting and following my blog as well. Imagine how pleased I was to jot over to your blog and find a recipe for lemon cake – it sounds marvelous. Thanks again!

    Sid

  346. Hi Talin, It’s very nice to meet you and come across your blog. It’s wonderful that you want to share your positive attitude around the world. I do, too, and if we can get more people to start spreading that, what a difference we will make.

  347. Hi Talin,
    You are an inspiration. I can see how much you love to write. I find writing very therapeutic and I love to read other’s stories and share some of my own. Thank you for reading my blog! Keep on writing!

  351. If I hadn’t said it already on one of your posts, I’m so glad you found my blog so that I found yours! I’m so happy to be involved with a great community of writers here on WordPress (and I’m now writing with a group in life too!) Cheers, Talin, and I hope you have lovely holidays! Jerri 🙂

  353. Hello, Talin. Thanks for visiting my blog. I was pleasantly surprised to find recipes in yours. I will try the vegetarian pasta dish, for sure! Keep on blogging, Talin. Tell us your experiences so we can live vicariously through them. I hope it’s not too cold in Montreal. It has finally cooled here in San Francisco, although I’m sure it’s nowhere as cold where you are now. I used to live in Toronto, for more than 13 years. Loved the city. Loved the people. I still like to visit. So I felt very nostalgic when you talked about thanking the OPP and their R.I.D.E. program or how you love the Hwy 401 Eastbound. These brought me back to those days when we used to live in T.O. Have a good holiday!

  359. Hello…thank you for following my blog at Faith1st Ministry. I hope it has and will continue to be a major blessing in your life as you continue to write and blog. Please continue with us on this journey and remember to have Faith 1st.

  361. Thank you very much for following our blog. I have read a few of your blogs and have enjoyed them very much! I look forward to reading more of your blogs in the future. This whole blogging experience is new to us and has been quite an adventure!!

  362. Hi Talin,

    Thanks for following my blog! I’ve only read your “about me” so far and love it. My blog is very new and I have big aspirations, so your follow made me feel great. You keep up the good work and I will, too!

  366. It’s taken me a while to get here and I have no clue why… probably because when you first followed me I was getting to know the site and not navigating aorund too well- never the less, better late than never and sincere all the same.. This is a thank you for following my blog and visting my posts. I am very grateful and your follow is sincerely appreciated. I wish you and yours a lovely week and weekend and hope that this note finds you well and in good spirits.
    Blessings.

  368. Talin, you are my first “like” and follow on my first blog ever and I extend my gratitude to you. This is what a blogging family is all about: supporting our common love for sharing what we love with others. This is why I finally began my blog journey and I will support yours as well. I hope many others follow your example and God bless you & your family!! 🙂

  372. Talin, I must say you got me from your Tagline (Don’t ever change yourself to impress someone…). Your “about page” is inspirational and I hope you the best, someday I will read you in print. I’m sure.

  376. Thank you for your comments, Talin. I appreciate you taking an interest in my writing. I am perusing yours, as well…and will comment on your individual posts.

    Write of a life well lived, and always live a life worth writing.

  383. Thanks for following my blog. I’ve read some of your blog and I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve been cooking more lately and hope to use some of your recipes. Your writing is so passionate. I really admire this. 🙂

  386. Hi Talin…congratulations on your success and thank yyou for following Today In Tango….we are looking for someone to help us research and write Today In Tango…do you know someone in your church community who might be interested….a retired journalist would be ideal…they could of course do it from their home…in return we could offer them room and board on an eventual visit to Rome which really is the most beautiful city in the world…thanks…have a nice day….oscar

  390. Talin,

    Thanks for visiting and following my blog. Hope you have wonderful holidays and that the New Year will be filled with promise for you! Keep on writing!!

    Joan

  391. Talin, hello to you and thank you for stopping by my blog. I’m fairly new to this but I have discovered that I get so much out of blogging and I’m determined to stick with it. I’m pleased I found you and I look forward to reading more of your wonderful writing.

    Jacqueline

  393. Thanks for following “Words of Life” Talin. In Sydney Australia at present the weather is cold, unusual for the Christmas season here. I trust you will have a great Christmas. God bless you in the challenges and blessings of this coming year.

  394. Thanks for following my blog, Talin.

    My best, and only friend, in Jacksonville is Armenian.

    You seem to have the right attitude toward writing. Work hard at it and success is sure to follow.

    Best wishes.

  397. “When you work hard at something, when you want something bad enough, you will get it, but first you must earn it.”

    True and it helps to write step-by-step goals and achieve those goals one step at a time. Sometimes adjustements to those goals are needed. However, the dream sometimes doesn’t pay the bills, so we find a job that supports our dream and in our freetime at night, on weekends, on vacation, we work at achieving the step-by-step goals of our dream one at a time.

    Those that give up, don’t.

  410. Good day Talin. Thank you for checking and following my blog. I look forward to reading yours in return :). Keep up the good work.

  411. TALINORFALI; Thank you for subscribing to my blog. I visited your blog and I like it. I will continue to follow you. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. romans 15:13 Ricklee

  418. Hi Talin

    Thank you for subscribing to my blog. Your blog is very inspiring and from the heart. I wish you luck with your quest to get on the Ellen De Generes show. Bullying is despicable.
    Re. Armenia – one of my all-time favourite singers is Janis Ian, another lady whose lyrics spoke from the heart, especially Seventeen.

    Keep up the writing – it is your gift and as much a part of you as your lovely face.
    If ever I can advise you on that side of things, don’t hesistate to contact me. My websites is http://www.taramoore.com. I am also on Twitter as TaraMoore2 and Facebook too.

  421. Thanks for your likes….you have an interesting blog yourself….

    Some good advice I once got re: writing > write something every day….even about something you may not know much about….by doing so you learn more about something new and about yourself….then when you write about something you do know about you will have even more passion in your writing….

    Follow your dream….and keep on writing….

  424. Thank you for stopping by my blog. It is definitely NEW territory for me and will be ever evolving. It is very generous of you to do so! (No wonder you have so many shout outs!) I have enjoyed reading many of your posts so far. I hope you get on Ellen!

  425. Hi talin, I love every bit of the things you said about yourself. I can see the passion. I can feel it. Maybe it’s not by accident that you’re following by blog. I’m here for a reason. To show the world a platform upon which they can earn a living while expressing their passion. From the way you sound you’re a perfect match for fanbox. They have developed a platform that enables you to earn money while blogging. You’ll do those things you mentioned in your profile but in addition to doing them you earn extra income. I don’t know whether you’re already making money from this your blog through Google adsense or Adword? If not, then I ask you of either of these two things:

    Follow this link http://fanbox.com/c9b12 and sign up at fanbox. Thereafter, import your blog into fanbox and start making money. No attachments!

    If you don’t like the first option, give me the permission to import your blog into fanbox and when you start seeing you fanbox bank account grow you’ll take over its management.

  429. How exciting to have you follow my blog. I’ll definitely sign up to follow your beautiful site. Love your outlook on life and on writing. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and the Ellen show. I got to attend a live Ellen show in Vegas a couple (three?) years ago when my daughter-in-law sent in for tickets! Pink and Bette Midler were guests. It was awesome 😉 Best of luck and again, thank you.

  431. Hi Talin………..your post has inspired me to continue to develop my writing and to use it as a gift to positively impact others…………thanks for signing up to follow my blog “Unwalled” and blessings to you from the Sunny Bahamas………..Kim

  432. Hi there Tailin,
    Thanks for following my blog. You’re very inspiring! I can’t wait to read more of your posts.

    p.s I hope you get on the Ellen show.

  433. Talin, thank you for visiting my blog! I don’t know if English is your origainl language- you mentioned your Armenian community- but you do have a lovely voice and style here. Keep on writing!

  434. Hi Talin, thanks for the follow! I’ve reciprocated and very much look forward to reading more from you. I like the approach you are taking to achieving your goals and wish you well in your endeavours. Keep on writing and inspiring 🙂

  435. Thanks so much for following me. I’m glad you are trying to raise awareness about bullying like I am; you’re doing a great job at it by the way 🙂 Hope you get on Ellen too; I watch her show from time to time and I love how kind and funny she is.

  438. Hi Talin,

    Thanks once again for dropping by today and “liking” my stories. I hope I didn’t block up your email too much – I was trying to get all of my stories together in one place and I am never that organised!
    Anyway – all the evry best to you and yours at the holidays season.

  497. Thank you for following me and Sorry for my busy cleaning days in Bangkok. Your writing tells your sincere and lovely personality just like a young girl. My writing got published in Thai when I was 12 but I have brought it back as a tool to make a change for about this 4 years. So, my aim is to stimulate rather than to write that they may too strong sometimes. Hopefully, I didn’t scare you to death with my stories.

    Well, I have a kind of creative writing in the concept of short, sharp words or less for more to show you. I dream a better societies and the better world.

    Take care and Happy New Year,

    So nice to have discovered your lovely blog. Thanks very much for signing up to follow mine in November. (I apologize for the lateness of this note, but I’m still trying to get caught up on a backlog of blog correspondence.)

    Hope you’re enjoying the posts and recipes!

Keep up the great work and continue to encourage, bring healing, wisdom, and laughter to others with the words God has given you to share….Hershey

  513. I was referred here by a new friend of mine, Nate, and I am glad he gave me the link to your blog! It seems to me that you and I share the passion for writing. But, I am impressed how you have articulated your talents in contrast to mine. You are much more expressive than I am and I enjoy the depth of your posts. I will return to continue reading! Glad I found you!

    And since my school recently announced it is “Do something nice for someone else” week, I feel obliged to be honest with you: You are beautiful both body and soul. Don’t ever let go of that and don’t let anyone change your mind about it!

  521. Talin, hi! I wanted to thank you for being one of my early followers. I just went over 200 and I am personally thanking all my very early followers. Thanks!

  536. Good Morning,
    I wanted to take a moment and thank you for finding my little blog and following along on my travels. My hope is that my stories are educational and funny at times and that my opinions don’t offend, well not too much. Never the less, I am looking forward to seeing you again soon.

I have started a non parenting blog called Prairie Girl On Fire. If you read the Whats This All About you will feel an extra bit of gratitude for your cheerleaders.

From one writer to another, if you get the opportunity, check out my new book on Kindle. Although the title is: Parenting: A View from the Therapist’s Chair it is about so much more than parenting. Wishing you all the best! Jerry

  596. Thank you for noticing my blog and taking the step to actually follow it. I appreciate your love of writing and what it can do – my daughter has been one of those gifted with the ability to create pictures from words and I’ve always admired that ability in others. Keep feeling and writing – we could always use more.

  597. Thanks for visiting & following my blog. I like blog and particularly blessed by the quote above ‘… the teacher is always quiet during a test’. Thanks.

  598. Yes, you are good with your words, a lovely poetic quality, pleasing to the eyes as they read. Do you know what else is great – while your wisdom and words are being shared with others, the viewers, in return, give something back to you, as your commenters so excellently portray! Most excellent don’t you think?

  609. Sorry it’s taken me a few months to say it, but I wanted to thank you for following my blog- it means a lot to me! P.S. Keep up your passion, you’ve got a great and evident voice in all your posts!

  610. Hello Talina! I believe that one of your passions is anti-bullying. I came across this and I remembered you. I thought it might be of interst to you. It will be held in New York and it says participants include “Abuse & Bullying Survivors and advocates.” Blessings! ~Nadine Marie~

  612. Hi Talin,

    I agree that, “Things do not happen overnight. You must reach your goal by working at it.” With enough passion and determination, all things are possible =)

  626. I do believe all the ideas you’ve presented to your post. They are really convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief for starters. May just you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
