My First Post May 15, 2017
I was born in the month May and I am turning 54 this year. So far, it’s been a pretty regular life which included my work, and my favorite pass times like reading, meditating and practicing mindfulness. This year, however, I want to do something different like sharing my experiences and insights with others and learning from their writings. I intend to read a lot of blogs which I find interesting.
I type really slow and my daughter smiled and commented, “Hey mom, you really hunt and peck as you type”, hence the name…and it also reflects my slow-paced, relaxed life.

I was immediately drawn to your blog’s title when spotting it while blog hopping today. I’ve read that the first thing to consider when beginning your blogging journey is the title of your blog. I’d say you choose wisely, because it gets your readers acquainted with you right now. And I suspect will keep you motivated a good long while as this blog’s owner, and author.
Let’s face it, our first steps get us going, and more often than not, keep us going. Coupled with a well thought out direction we are on our way to someplace important. Keep pecking!!!

Hi, My Dear,
Don’t discount your skill and talent!! I would suggest you check out writing haikus as a start. They are fun and not hard to get ones to turn out really well. You can check it out on Google and on my blog!! Also, you can check on Amazon for the book Poemcrazy! This is really a fantastic book for teaching one how to write poems. I recommend it highly!!!

and your wrote something special here- how you want to share and ALSO learn from others.
I think some bloggers start off with a me mentality – but the aim you have is a good one and I never expected to learn so much – that was a shock for me – but some bloggers have changed my life forever
