Spring Flowers →
The sun shining early in the morning brings yearning to see the flowers bloom. Daffodils are usually the first sign that spring is here to stay. I saw some flowers blooming at my friend’s home…
A Stop in Mount Shasta on our Journeys
Two days ago, Cephas and I arrived in Mount Shasta on our way to Sacramento to visit our brother. Ken is undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer and is not doing well at the moment. Our prayers go out to him as we also pray to accept whatever God’s will is for each of us. It is our desire to see Ken at least one more time before he leaves this earth.
It is very fitting that we stopped in...
Magnificent Shasta So Divine →
The locals call this place “Where Heaven and Earth Meet”. Mount Shasta, mother of volcanoes, timeless and regally monumental, she stands. Indeed this mountain seems like the bridge to eternity.…
Back in Mount Shasta →
Yesterday, Cephas and I arrived joyously back in the town of Mount Shasta, California. It felt like coming home. Most of the snow has melted on Black Butte. The green trees are showing in their…

Rain Finally Came to Twin Falls
This city can count its blessings as the rain falls for several reasons. Last year it burned with fires both here, in Boise and other places across Idaho. The rain is much needed and a welcome sight, to me.
It’s really refreshing to smell the spring rains knowing it will nourish all the sprouting plants and grasses just below the soil surface.
When I woke up at 6:30 this morning, I heard...

Online I found this “Extreme Weather Gallery” and thought it would greatly enhance any articles that I write on this subject. This is not my website, but please…
Changed my Template →
After having this blog for a couple weeks, I realized that it really wasn’t very visually appealing. Today I remedied that and chose a new template. It should be much more asthetic now! I don’t know…
Looking for companies that pay to blog.
Does anyone have any information on pay to blog companies, especially those who will hire beginners in the freelance blogging /writing industry?
Spring is Advancing Rapidly
The sun is shining with intermittent rain showers the past few days in Twin Falls, Idaho. Temperatures are rising to the upper forties and mid fifties. It is indeed a glorious sign that spring is here, emerging with all the new hopes for humanity, and for my quest.
I have five blogs ready with ten posts now, but have thirty-five to complete. I have received two more rejections from companies who...
Still in Twin Falls, Idaho →
Cephas and I came to Twin Falls from Pocatello about three weeks ago. It was our intention to only check out this city, then possibly travel onward to places unknown. Three weeks have come and…
Striving to Get Qualified for Paid Blogging →
It is not an easy task getting approved to get paid for blogging. I have been striving for this end three weeks now, to no avail. In that time, I have created multiple blogs, on which I am still…

Saturday Afternoon
It’s Saturday afternoon and I am winding down my work day here at the CSI University in Twin Falls, Idaho. It snowed last night and today, which was a bit of a surprise after all that springlike weather.
I am thankful we are not having tornadoes strike like in Georgia. When I left my motel this morning the news was expecting another storm to move through and most likely to have tornado...

Welcome to My Journal →
I just purchased my perma space on squarespace after a two week trial. Now I am staying with the basic plan for now, at least until I have a few dozen pages and journal entries.
I used this site as…
Post Number Ten, Whew!
Well folks, I am back. It is still March 13, 2008 but I had more to say on this blog.
I encountered another problem in my freelance writers quest. This time, the problem lies not with blogs or companies who hire bloggers, but with my website software. My husband, Cephas, and I have spent about two hours communicating with a tech at earthlink because my website Mountain Spirit Productions will...
It rained in Twin Falls, Idaho Today
This morning the rain fell and the wind blew hard in Twin Falls, Idaho but that did not dampen my spirits or discourage me from continuing my freelance writing and blogging quest. Here I am yet another day, with about thirty sites still to post ten entries on them.
This site is only two sites away from qualifying! Yeah! When I finish this entry, I will apply to a pay for blogging company and...

Week Three of My Quest to Qualify
It has been an intense couple of weeks for me and Photo Gent. We spend hours every day typing away on the keyboard creating blog and websites, signing up for Affiliate Programs; setting up the link codes on our sites; pasting our interlinking links for our blogs and websites on all the reciprocal sites.
And you know what? I still have about thirty sites to set up, post quality content and to...
Four Posts to Go for this Blog to Qualify!
That’s right folks, just four posts on tumblr …counting this one…before I can advertise this blog as a “paid for post” ready site. Most sites to which I have applied require a minimum of ten posts with varied content of substantial depth and meaning.
(Psssttt.. I won’t mention their names until some of these sites actually start giving me a paycheck.

Rachel Mae Fink is my grand daughter. She is nine years old and we have never met. Through my mother, I have seen pictures of her as a toddler, but none current. I dream about what she must look like today. In my dreams, I visit Rachel believing at the same time that someday we […]
In My Third Week of the Writing Race
It is still early March, but I feel as though spring is breaking forth with new buds on the trees and the birds are coming out to build new spring nests, while I am inside one university or another typing on a computer keyboard. I am still striving to qualify as a paid blogger and free lance writer for magazines both onlne and off. Meanwhile, I have a novel or two in the fire with irons getting...

Thoughts of Winter
This post is inspired by the theme I chose for my site at Xanga.
The beautiful winter scene brought to my mind the many winters I have spent in quiet reflection and deep pondering. A snow covered landscape enhances such a state of thought. In itself, the snow is a symbol of the state of mind in winter, still, thoughtful…time itself has slowed down, frozen like the still...
Qualifying: The Race is On.
Working on blogs to get paid is really work in the beginning. I am coming to the universities and libraries to use computers, because I cannot afford a laptop. Not yet anyway!!!
That is why getting paid for blogging is ever so important to me now. You see, I would rather be sitting in a forest on a mountain gazing at a waterfall, writing a creative novel. But alas, it will take money for that...

Searching for cool blogs
Today I set out to find as many blogs as possible to sign up for writing stories, poetry, my travel journals, news, and just plain expressive writing. The field is so vast! I did not realize.
I found a site called Mashable that showed a listing of over 40 blog sites. That excited me. Now I am on a quest to sign up to each one and post as many writings as possible. You see, I am a free -lance...
