A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, What’s Your Story?
July 23rd, 2009 | 
Author: I wanted to do a slideshow blog post but did not have a clue how and where to begin. I knew that I would have to figure it out someday, but kept putting it off. Have you ever done that?
Joanna Young at Confident Writing is having a Mission Im(Possible): Group Writing Project where she asks individuals to write a post in a format that they are unaccustomed to, and I thought that someday has come. I used my close friend Google to figure out the technology that would allow me to create a slideshow that is compatible with a WordPress blog. This post is my entry into the Mission Im(Possible): Group Writing Project. I created the slideshow using the tools at Slide.com.
If a picture is really worth a thousand words, what is your story now that you have watched the slideshow? Mine would go something like this. As I journey through life, I take different paths because I stumble, but always pick myself up. Some paths are easier than others, sometimes they are steep, cloudy, crowded, or busy. I reflect on the experiences that I have on my journey so that I can course correct if necessary. I look up and see the beauty in all things, and I try to laugh and not take myself too seriously. There are lessons all around me, I learn, move on, but most importantly I remember that though the destination is important, the journey is the key and so I smile because all is well.

Select photos that have a special meaning to you and write a cohesive story based on what you see and feel. The Invisible Mentor is about peeling off layers and getting to the real you.

Avril, I’m so pleased that my project inspired you to produce this slideshow – I loved it! The mixture of images and music was very powerful.
It made me think about how beautiful the world is, and how new paths and opportunities are always stretching ahead of us
Thanks so much for taking part and inspiring us with these words, images, music and reflections
Thanks Joanna,
The post was something that I had been thinking about for a while, but I didn’t really understand the technology to make it work. Thank you for presenting the opportunity because I discovered how easy it was to do. I will be participating in other Group Writing Projects. Avil

Avril, I found my way her via Joanna’s post. I love the slideshow and found myself celebrating with you! Thank you for sharing your challenge, facing it and inspiring the rest of us to just do it!
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. I am always trying to stretch myself. The group writing projects are awesome, don’t you think?
I just created another slideshow, Could Nature Be our Mentor, scheduled for tomorrow, and the best thing is I found the perfect song for the soundtrack. Karen, thanks again!
