Share Your World

Share Your World – 2015 Week #9

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

I would be forty. Just the right amount of life experience, and still a few years to enjoy *hopefully*.

As an aside, I am currently forty, and my mother passed away at forty-four. So if I match my mother’s lifespan, I currently have approximately four years left.

Are you left or right handed?
Right handed and have always been that way 🙂


If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to?

Juanita Linda
Which is a combination of my husband’s name (starts with J), my daughter (starts with Ju), and my own :). Linda as a second name, which is a combination of my mother’s name and my son’s name (which starts with Li).

As an aside, I LOVE patterns in names. My mind is always trying to find patterns in names. And as another aside, my name contains the grouping VON in it, and my husband’s name ends in VON, how weird is that? 🙂


Where do you hide junk when people come over?

In the study cupboard which is on my to-do list for today to sort out. I’m blogging instead.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I’m grateful for a golden key gifted to me from my 1984 teacher. Am looking forward to getting my book back from the publisher. It seems my manuscript is in the queue, and I am exercising patience.

THANK YOU for reading 🙂

Words Create Worlds

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Recently Acquired.”

Words create worlds
And so I’ve learnt
What we think
Becomes our reality
Stronger and stronger
I can feel myself grow
From hiding, low self esteem
Darkness, depression
To growth and strength
And love and light
What we share can touch
The hearts of others
What I’ve learnt about blogging
Is the power of words

Breathing Words

I took a risk in creating a blog
Only ever having read a few cooking blogs before

Not knowing what I will do with a blog
But feeling that it was needing to be born

So I created a blog, and gave it a name
And published a few words to begin

Poor baby blog was then discarded at will
For a while, maybe nine months at that

But waited patiently for me to return
It took a short while, but I never forgot

About a blog waiting silently for new life,
I returned to breathe words once again

So here I am, and there is so much to learn
And every new day, I will now joyfully embrace –

Every new post, every new thought, every new word
That flows from my heart, that my blog can display!
