    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, Writing and Blogging Doesn’t Need to be an all day Event 7 years, 9 months ago

    Writing doesn’t have to be stressful it all depends on what type of environment a writer is working in but there’s writers who don’t have to work as hard as others. Don’t have to overwork and writers and bloggers […]

    • Great article. As a writer, myself, writing can be challenging. It is great when you have inspiration and a theme that you are excited about. On the other hand, it is hard when you have writer’s block. Even the best of writers have had to deal with writer’s block that is why we writers need to be together and share some ideas. There is a saying–Practice makes perfect and this site does that. This is where you can develop your skills and maybe write a book. A goal that every writer should consider in their career.

    • Writing should be a fun way to express yourself. Even if it is a way to earn some money you should have time off to blow off steam. Time off can even help with coming up with new ideas. A fresh head always work better than a stressful one.

      Like you said, each writer has their own method but they need to be careful to not overstress theirselves. It won’t be good for their physical or mental health.

      As a writer i think that free time or time were we just let our minds rest are the best times to come up with ideas.

      Another way it to work 2 days a week and the other days when you have an idea, you write a draft down to not forget. Then on your writing days you elaborate you ideas.

    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, Bring Back, ComeBacks, and Surprises 7 years, 9 months ago

    “Is it time for the old school to make a comeback?” Perhaps there will be some surprises awaiting. Never know. Why should the music down out. The 80’s, 90’s and current? Let’s see what will arise in the next […]

    • Music will be pleasant to the heart. It soothes our mind and soul. The lyrics and the tone play a vital role when it makes everybody like it. The lyrics give a boost to the mind and the tone of the music to the heart. The combination of these two will always make it great. Of course, not everybody can not appreciate it. It all depends on the mood of the listener. The reason for not attracting many depends on what the listener actually wants to hear and where?

      The 90 are somewhat rigorous for the music with some minimum rules to be observed in the usage of lyrics. The people of 90 liked it and those who are expecting more and more find it hard to digest as their favorite and move on to the lyrics and music of their choice. Of course, this, we may call by any name. May be a ‘new experiment’ ‘innovation’ with so many attaches and exclusion which are all appearing as ‘inclusions’ found in a Diamond to give it a category and grade.
      The comeback is not an easy task. The lovers have gone and reached to a different style and are preferring to stand on another platform. To catch that platform the only way is to add some more variety to the music which may be ‘another innovative style’. One generation is searching for different styles in the name of FURTHER INNOVATION AND THE old 90s are trying to catch the style which is totally out of date for the after 90s generation. Even if they catch killing their own self-conscience and make a compromise with the flow of the generation it does not find an appropriate place.
      So, finally realizing the impossibility of catching and moving with the new generation they either disappear from the scene or take up a different profession (of it will be too late for them) and finally they become OLD RAGS.

    • Though I may say, that some singers would revive some songs from long ago, but would somehow have a different tune on some parts and I must say it is not nice to listen. I still would prefer the old style.

      Lucky are the old singers because even if they die, their music lives and would still continue to give the family of the singer the proceeds from their royalty.

      Take for example , Michael Jackson, he may have been dead, but still his music is always being played by radios. He may be dead but his music still lives and continue to give royalties to his children.

    Yes they’ll try to stop a purpose, a dream, a vision but what’s been purposed there’s no stopping it. The adversity will come and there’s no denying but “we’re equipped to overcome adversity.” What so many do not […]

    • I’ve always believed in divine grace and have proven many times how the Lord intervenes to give meaning and purpose to our life.

    • I am a firm believer of God. He helped in times, when I cannot do anything anymore and is always just waiting for me to call on him at times, when I can’t anymore.

      Having experienced his loving hands, I never let a day pass by without expressing my gratitude for his love.

      People might say that how come we still encounter trials if we are always praying. My answer, that’s because these trials are what make Him so powerful or show his strength. When are are at our weakest, He is at his strongest. We only have to call.

      People who do thing to put a man down, are just envious.

    Social Media was intended to be a platform where socializing virtually takes place. A platforms where promoting and advertising can occur. The platforms seem to be riddled with trolling, harassment, and bullying. […]

    • I cannot agree more. One will have to take several breaks in a day or week from social media to ‘detox’ from all the negativity and of course, to get some physical exercise.

      • Of course breaks are necessary. There’s many ways to obtain exercise. For me it’s dancing. Too much time online can be draining. There’s a lot of negativity in which we all should limit our time in such environments.

    • Indeed when the social media you are registered with has some trolls bullying you, it can be detrimental to your health especially when exchange of not nice words were hurled at each other already.

      Luckily, I have my account on private setting. That way, not anyone can go directly to my account and bully me.

      Most of the times, those that are bullied are on public setting. Besides, maybe their posts is something that can incite bad emotions such as the post can be so bragging. Or those who constantly posts selfies of themselves because others find it offensive that you are so finding yourself beautiful. ha ha ha

      • Bully me and I’m advocating. There’s a lot of bullying on certain sites. Some protect their users better. Spending less time on sites with a lot of bullying may help. There’s nothing funny about anyone being bullied and hopefully adults realize that bullying is totally wrong.

    • We must not be ashamed to act or talk as people of faith, to go public about our Christian convictions when necessary. Moreover, the devil stirs up persecutions against every person who becomes converted, in order to scare him or her and make him or her turn away.

    How many people would want to help a group of people who are always insulting others? Not too many probably will. Seems a bit insane to try and bash the very ones who may insist in some way but that’s where we are […]

    • The greatest injustice is to tolerate the injustice itself. How long one should tolerate? Is there any limit for that? May or may not be. There is no hard and fast rule for this tolerance. But one should remember that the other is weak just because he is tolerating. The more one tolerates there is more danger for revolt. One should understand that before taking the course of insulting others.

    • Bullying is now being deliberated to have a stiffer penalty.

      For those kids that were bullied, the parents are called and together with the parents of the bully, a talk is being done.

      At least, through that talk, the parents of the bully will know what their son or daughter is doing at school and maybe counseling to the bully and the parents can be done, because somehow the bully has some underlying personal problem be it in the family or to his being.

      Schools should really be vigilant on bullying because those bullied becomes the helpless victims that sometimes lead to their suicides.

      A friend is something that can make you feel lighter when you need to be comforted. She will be by your side to assist if ever you need assistance. No need to ask for her help, she should give it to you without the need to be asked.

    • All I know is that when one is being bullied or belittled, there is something in that person being bullied , that the bully is envying him/her for.

      But when this thing happens never ever let it pass without reporting it to the principal or to your parents as the case may be.

      As early as possible, the bully should be dealt with by an authority like the principal, so the parents will be called and the attitude of the bully be stopped.

      We should never allow anybody to demean or to bully us.

    • Totally! Don’t let anyone feel you less of yourself, and yes to diversity! People are used to live up to the expectations by the society, but I really think we should not let others get into our nerves. We can’t please everybody and it really isn’t right to be mistreated just because we don’t fit into their standards. I hope you inspire victims of bullying to stand up for themselves and don’t let the bullies get in their way. Kudos!

    • You know the reason why people get others annoyed is because they feel threatened by them. Someone will not attack you with words when they know they won’t gain anything from you. But if they will benefit from that then you can be well assured that they will bully you. I see this thing usually with politicians where there are many other parties, everyone wants a piece of the pie, so what normally takes place is just the bashing of one another. One person will say all the bad things they would think of about the other person to make him look bad in the eyes of other people. They may even tell lies just to paint a bad picture of that person. It is a well know tactic and very many people are using it to get their way. Others may do it so that they feel good about themselves. Usually such people have a low self esteem, and so when they annoy others it makes them feel like they are in control and that they have done something good for themselves, not knowing that they are hurting others and themselves in the long run.

    • Lawyers should be involved when matters can not be solved by individuals. If there’s harassment, bullying, or threats then lawyers and authority need to be involved. There’s lawyers who will not take any money unless the lawyers win and they’ll work with clients who have cases which can produce some money. Lawyers have to eat.

    • Oohh my goodness you have just nailed it! I know someone who is exactly what you are trying to describe. And I can say for a fact that’s it’s the most annoying behavior anyone would have. It almost feels like the person is in a competition alone. They are constantly competing with themselves that’s very disturbing, even though they don’t even notice it. You know always having someone in your space, whatever you do that want to also do it, when you but a new cloth they are all over you asking questions like where did you but it, how much did it cost, what sides do that have, can I get it in a color lighter or darker than yours, or they may even start being sarcastic as in making comments like ar3 you sure it’s going to fit? It looks either too big or too small, but usually they would say it looks too tight on you with that suggestive look as in your too big, yet you appear smaller than then. This are the types of people who will always want to make themselves look better than others in every sense of the way. They will always squeeze themselves in places where they are not needed. When they are asked to stay away they will always look for an excuse to be part of it regardless of whether they are needed or not. How would you really get rid of such people. I would suggest that if you live with them in the same place please make arrangements to move out and start your life elsewhere, if not assume them every time they try to come close to you and make it known that you are really not interested in what they are up to.

    • I never engage in anything for the sake of competing. I engage in one activity because I like it and not to brag that I am “in” in what is the latest activity.

      Besides, if you are into a lot of activities, you cannot excel in any one, because you are just giving a part of yourself since you still have to give some on your other activities.

      I value myself, so I value rest. It has to be that I have a moderate number of activities so that I can also have a time for myself – rest. Rest is important because it’s what reinvigorates one and makes one think well for what could be done still for what he is aiming at.
