Stirrings in A to Z Land

         Keeping it short today.

         Just got in from my two week tour of the United States as I visited family scattered across the country.  I had a great time but computer time was very limited so now I've got to catch up.

          Tomorrow (Friday 1/6)  there will be a special announcement that you won't want to miss.  I fact if you are looking at blogs on that day you may see a similar announcement on several other blogs.  Be watching!

          We still have a few reflections posts and other guest posts coming in the next few days.  If you have something that you'd like to write about as a guest on this blog, then please let me know.

         See you tomorrow!

Are you gearing up for                 the

2012 A-to-Z Challenge?

Greetings everyone and happy New Year!!!

It’s 2012 and I’m starting the New Year off right –gearing up for the challenge with inspirational sight, ingenuity and creativity!

There’s excitement in the air, ideas are flowing everywhere!

I’m new to the A-to-Z Challenge this year and I’m looking forward to being at the starting point of its commencement!

I really appreciate a challenge – especially one that’s fun, and propels me to exercise my brain simultaneously!

I expect during the commencement of the A-to-Z challenge, I will have the opportunity to blog my creativity side-by-side with numerous experts and newcomers alike.

I envision that scene as walking through a gallery of artwork and being in awe of the beauty and variation! At the end of the procession- the final outcome of the challenge, we will all be rewarded by our individual efforts! Our galleries will be a reflection and reminder of our own achievements!  In that sense we will all be winners!

I’m a poet so my approach to the challenge this year is to grace my fellow bloggers with a theme centered around, the art of poetry; to captivate my blog audience with 26 poems that will stir their hearts and minds to think and promote change!

So how are you starting the New Year off; what’s your approach - have you gotten your gear out: excitement, momentum, ingenuity, creativity; all the talent that you will need to get the A-to-Z Challenge on the way- I hope so!

I’m looking forward to visiting your gallery so don’t let me down- I’m in it to win so give me a run for my money! See you there!

Happy New Year!!

Betty Alark
