What I learned today....

Typed by Pom

I'm gleaning this idea from a thread on The Druid's Grove (OBOD's message board). I thought it was an outstanding idea for a thread as it reminds me that we are all continually growing and learning as well as challenged and conquering. It's moved me so much that I am now inspired to create a new blog that nearly anyone will be allowed to post entries - not comments - to and we'll see how it goes. If you are interested in contributing, comment to this entry and I will contact you so I am able to add you to the list of authors for 'What I Learned Today' where you will be able to add your own contributions to the idea. I will remain the administrator of the blog for as long as it is utilized and I am contributing.

There will be a few guidelines for contributing authors.

1. There will be no commenting on other authors' life experiences - neither encouragement nor criticisms.

2. Be concise. Keep entries down to a sentence so they inspire others to think on their own ideas of the lesson and how it moves them. Hey! This is coming from the notorious run-on-sentence-girl so it's not so much a limit on words, just sentences. ;o)

3. It will be an open blog so if you wouldn't want your parent/grandparent/child/grandchild/etc. to read it - don't write it.

4. Please only request to become a contributing author if you intend to add posts to the blog.

5. Any other necessary guidelines will be established as the need arises.

Other guidelines appear on the blog itself..


I hope there will be a lot to learn and thus making the new blog a really enjoyable endeavor. It's not about bragging rights or self-indulgent story telling, but remembering that we're on a journey and so are others - hopefully we can inspire one another.
