In the ever- rushed world of the 21st century, we never take the time to nurture something is inherent and organic within all of us ... and that is Creativity.
I believe that Creativity is a spontaneous process erupting from the soul within...
If you take the time out of each day for such nurturing , then it will be reflected in your writing endeavours.

Online branding and you
Branding is about identifying your rainbow of talent and applying it with a plethora of passion in your well -researched target areas.
Your online brand should have the WOW factor but this needs to be accompanied by authenticity.
Your brand—your tag line for your online portfolio—has to be a ladle dropper. Like listening to Ted Koppul s great new stories, this tag line—makes you drop your ladle asyou are cooking in the kitchen and run to the TV set.

For all women writers- International Women s Day - March 8th
International Women s Day - March 8 th,which is celebrating its one hundred- year anniversary, is dedicated to all women , warriors in pink, who fight discrimination based on skin colour, gender, culture , age, religion, educational and socio-economic status, their weight or simply the colour of their hair.
Instead of being divided, we have to be united in our battle for equal status in the workplace, and in the world.
As we honour this significant day and remember all those who fought so hard so we may observe it, let us make a promise to ourselves that we may never turn away from another woman in need- no matter the circumstances involved.

Journalling and the year 2011
As we begin a new year, I thought it might be nice to revisit the benefits of journalling in my life and in others.. Journalling is a wonderful way of seeing your life- both professionally as a writer and personally- in a different light.
So here again are the main benefits of journalling:
-getting clarity re: what you want in your life.
-Creating and setting boundaries.
-Ferreting out life goals.
-Beginning a journey to walking your own pathway.
-Tapping into your intrapersonal/ retrospective side by means of reflection.
-Helping you take yourself and others through the experiential learning cycle.
-Finding hidden talents and abilities within your authentic self
-Finding the positive strengths in yourself and others, and building on them
For a great guidebook on journalling, you can check out my journalling workbook at " A Year in Serendipity: A Journalling
Workbook"http://tinyurl.com/serendipityjournal .
All the best for 2011
