Quiet Elegance
I am the thought and the poem in your head Hear me on your page Let the words dance into your eyes Let the words tell you what you yearn to hear Let me be the ink that shapes the syllables that whisper in your soul Let me take your gentle heart and make you a song from the impulse that synchronises your breath Let me breathe dreams in the blood spinning your veins Let me show you the butterflies in my tummy so you can delight in their gossamer light And let me be me and you be you so that we can be me and you together in a dialogue of human emotion.

Freedom Of The Press — On The Chopping Block?
In the worst situations, strength and compassion gleam brightest…
The first time I discovered the depth of this truth (these days I’m writing novels) was when I co-produced a video for the Leukemia Society of America (nowadays Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). They’d hired my business partner, David Hunt (who’s been a guest before), and me (our tiny non-profit company was called Vista Educational Media) to encourage therapists and people diagnosed with leukemia to participate in the agency’s support groups. We videotaped at Wellness Community South Bay Cities, which is now called Cancer Support Community of South Bay. The Los Angeles Times wrote of member Roger Kahl’s valiant life here.
For each project, David and I alternated who would produce and who would assist. Thank goodness for this one David conducted the interviews, wrote the script, edited the videotape, and narrated the final video. For my part, it took all I had not to sob as I videotaped. Reviewing it all these many years later, I still cry at the incredible bravery of the interviewees.
On David’s site, he details his experience with this project…
“By the 1990s health educators understood that video-assisted storytelling was an effective way to engage patients and get them involved in their own health care. But many of the nation’s top health organizations, including the Leukemia Society, used actors as stand-ins for actual patients in their health education videos. In 1992 I was part of a documentary team that convinced the organization to trust people with leukemia to share their own stories.”
Today’s guest blog post is by Joyful Stephanie. From her home on East Coast of Canada, she blogs about her search for inner-peace amid life’s adventures, creativity, joys, and challenges.

I created a blog as a memoir of the biggest risk I’ve ever taken.
I married a man I hardly knew and moved to the Middle East with him.
Our story goes like this:
October, 2014 – I received a message from a man sent via an online dating site.
Michael’s first contact with me was via an online dating site message that was, in jest, asking me to marry him.
Why?
My online dating profile included a condition I made very clear: I am not a booty call. I was looking for marriage.
His message caught my eye.
After an important initial online discussion of clarifying these realities:
We seemed okay with each other’s terms.
We decided to start a long-distance romance.
December, 2014 – He flew from Qatar to Nova Scotia for Christmas Break to spend time with his family and meet me in person for the first time.
March, 2015 – Michael flew me to Qatar for a week.
March, 2015 – Doha, Qatar – Michael and I having fun on a Dhow Boat Cruise
April 25th, 2015 (my birthday) – Michael sent me flowers with a letter asking to marry him. I accepted his proposal. So much for my “taking things slow.”
April 25th, 2015 – Halifax, Nova Scotia – Marriage Proposal from Michael
August 18th, 2015 (his birthday) – We married on a dock in Lower Prospect, Nova Scotia. A few days later my new husband returned to his job in Qatar.
August 18th, 2015 – Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada – Wedding Day
August 31st, 2015 – I said goodbye to my mom, family and friends and all that was my life in Nova Scotia to start a new life in a Muslim country with a man I barely knew, and married on impulse.
August 31st, 2015 – Halifax Stanfield International Airport – Waving goodbye to my mother as I walked towards another chapter of my life
September 1st, 2015 – I landed in Qatar.
I will never forget our first night together as man and wife in the Middle East.
We sat in his cramped, made for a bachelor sized apartment, looking at each other.
Since October, 2014, Michael and I had spent maybe a total of 42 days together in person.
Therefore, I looked at him and said, “I’m scared, are you.”
His reply, “Yes.”
It’s been noted that perhaps most couples would not have survived our situation, as Michael and I had many struggles along the way.
One fundamental reason we made it was we recognized the potential in each another and valued this connection.
August 18th, 2016 – Doha, Qatar – Celebrating our 1st Anniversary and Michael’s 57th Birthday at the Intercontinental Hotel Doha

During our 4 years together in the Middle East, we traveled to 26 countries.
Blogging became a way to preserve our travel stories, our memories with pictures; lending us a nice way to reflect back on our adventures when we’re older and starting to forget things.
What has blogging been like for me?
And perhaps, an inspiration for you…
