Guest Editor's Picks -- March 14th, 2008
Hi fellow bloggers, for those of you who don't know me I'm Yasmin from, Isn't she great.
My thanks to Vishy for the invitation to to "guest" on this journal.
I'm 43 and live in the UK, Colchester to be exact, which is Britain's oldest recorded town, so quite a lot of history here.
I'm currently in the throws of a career change, and hope to go into teaching, this year having already completed the first part of my course.
I started blogging about eighteen months ago, after finding the site on AOL, and began reading, took me a while then decided to have a go myself, to be honest what I didn't expect was the warm welcome I received from fellow JLanders, and of course to be allowed to share in their day to day lives, and the support that is given to those in need of support. It has been quite difficult to choose from so many, as everybody contributes in their own way which is what a community is all about.
So on to my choices for this week:
1.
Life
on a Bison Farm,- Lisa is a very warm caring lady who along
with her mother runs a Cat rescue and every Tuesday she does a feature
on her many cats, which I always look forward too, Lisa is
also a very talented photographer, her pictures are always amazing so
are some of her films one in particular of the "girls" playing in the
snow, the girls by the way are the
Bison.
2.
On my
mind- Sheria writes very thought provoking posts which
always give me pause to think,with her keen eye for detail, her
observations about life is always an interesting read. Sheria has a keen sense of
humor and writes
about many subjects often including poems, videos, articles from the
news, and is often generous in spirit and compassion to her fellow
man.
3.
Diary of
a Podgy Poof- I don't know Gaz very well but his journal entries always make
me smile, no laugh out loud, and often regales us with events that have
happened in his life, the good and the bad but always with humor, he is getting married
next week to Phil his partner of 26 years, I wish him
well.
4.
Daughters
of the Shadow men- Gerry has been writing her memoirs which
at times make very difficult reading, but she perseveres. Gerry has had
a roller coaster life
in which many things have happened good and bad and I admire her spirit
and putting it all out there for us to read, I always look forward to
the next chapter.
5.
Serendipity-
Jan is such a star, a lovely lady who writes about her life in the
Fens(Cambridgeshire),
although retired is still very active in her community, and I always enjoy her cheery
journal and the unfailing kindness she shows to
others.
6. My Extremely Simple life- Joyce is quite new to Jland and I met her through a group were both members of, a cheery journal about life in Tennessee her two children who she is incredibly proud of, and her two cats, she is always kind and interested in others.
So there you have it , hopefully there is a couple of new journals for you to read so stop by and say hello.Take care
