Yesterday I had a small number of kids in my creative writing group. I had one 6th grader and three in 3rd grade. Spring break starts Monday and I don't think their minds were on writing. I pretty much just let them have fun with the assignments I offered.
Previously, I had a problem with them copying from each other. Yesterday I just ignored the tendency to see what would happen. I noticed while they were doing a word search paper that they were helping each other find the words. I even participated, assisting the younger ones with their struggle. When everyone was finished they all felt good about their personal contribution to the whole.
There is a lesson to share here teacher!
Wouldn't it be great if the entire world worked like this? Everyone sharing their little bit of knowledge with everyone else, making the planet a more loving place to inhabit for all.
One would have to live in a cave not to see that the universe is changing and the goal is to really get the fact that we are one. We all came from the same place and have something valuable to contribute, but not everyone will be willing to listen and allow the message to sink in.
For some reason and I'm blaming it on my muse, the words to the song "the more we get together the happier we'll be" just popped into my mind!
Keep sharing keep helping, 'cause every little bit counts!

Everyone leaves footprints as they walk on their assigned path and you never know who you might inspire by sharing your experiences.

- This blog began as a means to share my life adventures with my readers. My writing experience to that point included two published books; Wake Up! and A Gathering of Spirit and four years as a columnist for the Cibola Beacon. I have since added Journey of an Enlightened Egotist, Spirits of Cibola County, What Now My Love? A Writer's Journey and Adventures of a Chosen Messenger to my published work, all are available from Amazon.com Looking for ways to inspire others to write I created a writing group for senior citizens in 2012, a writing camp for children 2012-2015 and a communication group for a nursing home in 2013. In 2018 I created an online writing group.This move led to two others eventually removed do to lack of participation. A friend once told me to find my passion and share it and I would realize my purpose. She was right! Every time I have thought I should give up something happens to assure me that I am on the right path.
