WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!

 WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!

I would love to welcome you to my blog with a poem and a prize to. To launch my blog (sooooo 18th century...lol!), I have decided to start of with a ''GeeBee poetry page'', and will be giving away some gifts during the summer. A poem will be posted each month and to be a part of this, all you need to do, is suggest a suitable title for the given poem and at the end of each month, a title will be picked at random.

For the month of June, the giveaway gift is Barack Obama's book - 'Dreams from My Father'. (wow, nearly can't wait to send it off to the lucky winner..) Let the work begin.... Leave a comment, with what you think would be a good title for the poem below on or before the 30th, June 2010 and a winner would be announced on the 4th July, 2010. (Details for the other entries will be pasted on my ''Gee Bee poetry page'' subsequently).

so let's get started.....

''Welcome to my blog ONE''
Often times,
we wrong others, and
think very little of it.

And truly,
It’s hardly ever
meant to be.

But in the rush
to grasp life, we
choke on the fume

and some wrongs
are done, which
never should have been.

The bitterness in the
hearts of many, really
could have been void

but for the mad rush
to grasp a hold on life,
which is nothing but fumes.

I would like to finish up with one of the codes of life from Don Miguel Ruiz's book, ''The Four Agreements''. It keeps me going when I feel let down or hurt. and I hope it does same for you.

Don Miguel Ruiz Agreement 2 -
''Don’t take anything personal- Nothing others do is because of you. What they say or do is a projection of their own reality or dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be a victim of needless suffering.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
