It's a Bible quote. Molly Ivins, as you may know, was a Texas celebrity in the newspaper and editorial business. She wrote a book titled "You Can't Say That, Can You?" She was a rebel, okay there, but man did she have a hard, sharp edge to her writing and her loathing and hatred of anything Conservative.Her quote at the beginning--I may be telling you things you know--refers to Bill Clinton when he first ran--Hope, Arkansas--remember?<br />Even so, your theme of "hope" is timely and spot-on.How could we writers continue if we didn't have hope? But, yes, hope is not enough--we have to back it up with our products. Thanks! Well done, CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-68471359887574193012010-03-04T11:49:57.990-08:002010-03-04T11:49:57.990-08:00Go for it, Kathy!

Woo-hoo!!<br /><br />And frankly, without egos we'd probably be blobs. Sure we don't want those navigation systems to take over (Back off Hal 2000!), but I'm always reminded of the kooky Star Trek episode I watched waaaay back when.<br /><br />Kirk was split into two parts. His 'good' self and his 'bad' self. So naturally, his bad self was wanting to bed the babes and punch everyone out. (hmmmm... and this was different? *grin*) But then the good Kirk was this spineless wimp who couldn't make any decisions and was pretty much a mess. As can be expected, they had a massive realization that both sides are necessary.<br /><br />I see it as Venus and Mars. Venus focuses on diplomacy while Mars throws a punch. Venus worries about hurting feelings while Mars is more concerned with taking action. We all have both this Libra/Venus energy and Aries/Mars energy, but we often try to stifle the Mars (especially women, even now). We need to Embrace the Mars Swagger <i>and</i> the Venus Charm. *wink*<br /><br />So, bask in the glory because that's going to motivate the hell out of your Mars-ACTION side. And then your Venus energy can nod graciously and accept the dozen roses. :-D <br /><br />Go-go-GO!!<br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-2997500758207803662010-03-04T11:32:33.714-08:002010-03-04T11:32:33.714-08:00Hi Misty!

You know how writers say, "Oh, I've been writing novels since I was 7." Well, I did try to write one when I was young but I mostly made up musicals and acted them out on our picnic table in the backyard and invited the neighbor kids over - lol! And I thought up the title, "New York, New York" before anyone else did - ha, ha! And I did have a fantasy that my novel, "Real Women Wear Red" would end up as a musical. And then I called in to this Broadway station and they introduced me, "Live, from the Kit Kat Klub" on the air and I was thrilled. lol! Oh, our egos!!! The tough part is doing the work - thanks for reminding us all - now off to work I go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-85045218204144647302010-03-02T13:51:53.117-08:002010-03-02T13:51:53.117-08:00Chiron, you never cease to amaze and empower me to...Chiron, you never cease to amaze and empower me to be the best writer I can be.

It's composing the songs that would be a challenge, eh? *grin*<br /><br />Sidenote--a friend of mine did write a musical and asked me and several others to play parts. I was a lovely fuzzy puppy (with terrier ears!!). What a hoot!<br /><br />Back to the theme of this week's essay though... For me, it's like the way I dance. People will sometimes come up and ask if I studied professionally (which is hilarious to me because my main talent is doing as I please on the floor! Hah!). Truth is, I always loved to dance and HAVE to dance when there's music on. So I suppose I had to be good at it just because there was no option for me. Weird, now that I think about it.<br /><br />Although my childhood was fraught with insecurity, determination to find the best in life always drove me onward. Walt (as you know) was an early hero of mine, and if he could "Wish upon a star," and make those dreams come true, so could I!!<br /><br />*grin* Here's to making those dreams come true (let me know AS SOON as you get the good news!!!).<br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-9943953812902835542010-03-01T21:11:28.629-08:002010-03-01T21:11:28.629-08:00I appreciate the reminder to "do the work&quo...I appreciate the reminder to "do the work" and to keep focused on our goals. One of the things I appreciate about your blog is the reminder to stay positive, stay focused, and to take the necessary steps to move forward. It reminds me of a tarot card, where the visual is that when your heart, your mind, and your actions are in alignment, then you will move forward with success!

What would I really love to do - and seems absolutely impossible - write a musical. :) Why impossible? It seems like it would take me until I was 90 before I knew how to do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
