A Selfless Post Gone Wrong…WTF?
A Selfless Post:
Well I Didn't Expect This….
WTF??
artur84 via freedigitalphotos.net
I can be so dense. I was basically insulted on my favorite social blogging site and did not even know it. Someone wrote a rebuttal post. No, they didn't call it that and I read their post before I read their response on my post.
The post in question was me wondering about "selfless acts." Now, I was talking (my own personal thoughts) about walking, talking, being and negotiating the world with love. Trying to be able to give without expectation….now, I don't think this is a huge problem for me but I do think our expectations come out in different ways like excepting behaviors to change or for people to act in certain ways.
Well, I guess all of this got misconstrued to someone thinking that I was supporting abusive relationships, that we should not expect common decency in relationships. I, in no way ever support abuse of any kind. This post was my walk with being more loving and giving, not anyone's interactions in a relationship.
Please read the post and see if I wasn't clear. Wow, some things truly make you go WOW!

Could You or I be the 100th Monkey?
The Hundredth Monkey Philosophy
by Ken Keyes
Wouldn't it be amazing if growth was developed and nurtured from within communities and developed like wildfire globally, allowing for a major positive shift in the good for all? The hundredth monkey represents a tipping point so to speak, when an action creates a transformation in an entire species.
I wrote a brief post wondering if any one of us in a given time could be seen or looked at as the hundredth monkey. Could you or I be that hundredth monkey?

Social Blogging for Beginners: Bubblews Still Works
Social Blogging for Beginners: Bubblews Still Works
Time to get back to this blog, it's been way too long, it's also crystal clear why these actions are needed. When it's time to grow, you must begin to move. Move in the direction of your dreams!
I wonder if it's time for a new perspective!

Today was a sad day on one of my favorite sites. One of my posts was deleted. Bam, without warning or notice, just deleted by admin.
Why?
Was it because I was raising my voice to help friends who had left the site?
Was it because I was mentioning redemptions and issues that people were having on the site as well as for some who left the site?
Was it because I was giving a voice to those who were/are feeling voiceless?
I am really not sure but what I do know is that it drives home a major point for me.
1) You need to have your own blog so that you retain creative control.
I am mostly unhappy right now because the post was starting to generate a lot of good dialogue and it was really promoting the idea of community. I believe the community really lost out today!
My Response to the Deleted Post: http://www.bubblews.com/news/2436660-i039m-sad-and-censored
This site was once a true community in so many aspects of the word.
For now, it is, just not the same but still worthy of helping individuals learn the ropes and get into the habit of writing and blogging!
Do I still recommend this site as a way to start social blogging? Sure, but be careful, read the rules and the terms and don't try anything out the box.
More info, can be gleaned here: http://www.bubblews.com/news/322554-start-blogging-with-bubblews
UPDATE 3/16/2014:
The above post (I'm Sad and I'm Censored) was also deleted but I don't care because the site continues to pay. I just won't be sharing community-spirited posts in the way that I did. Bubblews does NOT want any type of questionable comments or posts about them, or people not getting paid. Although I didn't post anything wrong, the comments began to soar about the problems that people were having. I will begin posting here questionable behaviors that could get you on the "no-pay" list. Follow the rules, read the terms and ask me questions (or others you may meet on the site). Be careful because they will put accounts up for deletion as well as remove posts that they have deemed as questionable. It is still paying and is still a good site, especially for beginner bloggers, writers and anywhere the dollar is strong (Philippines, India, etc…..)

Successful People vs Unsuccessful People (Idea 4: Planner or Impulsive)
Successful People vs Unsuccessful People
Idea 4:
Planner or Impulsive
Successful People
Successful people tend to be better at creating to-do lists for projects and the the future. They are better able to keep themselves on a path toward something or at least to see the big picture or have a long term vision. When one is able to lay a blueprint or a foundation and begin to work on that, then many other things begin to fall into place because they have a larger idea about where they are going or where they want to go...
Unsuccessful People
Unsuccessful people may lean toward more impulsiveness. They may be more prone to spontaneity or flying by the seat of their pants. While this strategy may work every once in awhile, a more disciplined approach may be needed for the long-term. Having a long-term plan or a clear vision allows one to have a blueprint for the steps needed to accomplish larger goals and objectives.
More ideas and thoughts about having lists versus "winging it" can be found here:
