The Invisible Mentor

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.
