What I love about YouTube is that anyone can visit distant places at the click of a button. Of course, it would be nice to just hop on a plane and go right now, but when that's not feasible, YouTube can help you out for a quick little virtual getaway.
One place that is on my list of places to visit is Egypt. Can you imagine all the creative energy flowing in that part of the world?
Here is a video I came across that features a few of the famous monuments that can be found in Egypt..
I can imagine that Egypt is full of photo opportunities. The vast land is one big work of art! Ancient Egyptian architecture is particularly fascinatig to me.
If you have plans to visit Egypt, here are some links that may be of interest:
Recently over at Online Business Resources, I talked about how blogging has become a "hot" job and offered some tips and advice on how to make money by blogging. As Blog Action Day took place yesterday, I started thinking about how much more there is to blogging. Blogging is a creative medium that allows anyone the opportunity to let their voice be heard. Got something on your mind? Blog! Want to support a cause? Blog!
I remember when I was a young girl typing away at my typewriter (Yes, I'm that old!)...thinking that I was going to be a famous writer someday. As I grew up I started to learn about book publishing and all the work required to get a best-selling book. There's book proposals, hiring an agent, and all that marketing just to get your thoughts out there to the masses!
But now...the barriers to entry in the publishing world is virtually non-existent. There are so many options for writers or anyone who has something to say - which is everyone! You can start a blog in five minutes, you can self-publish your own book or magazine, or you can produce a video or movie without having to sign a big contract with a media company. The world is at your fingertips...literally.
We're in some exciting times right now! I encourage anyone to take action and start sharing your thoughts with the world. Do something to make a difference, share your expertise, or connect with like-minded people to support a cause.
It's time to stop hiding and let your voice be heard - especially if it has a chance to uplift and help other people. Whether it's through art, music, or blogging - become a source of inspiration!
I leave you with a video called "Let Your Voice Be Heard" by Paul Elisha which fits perfectly with this post...
Fall is my favorite time of the year. The weather starts to cool down, nature starts to turn colors, and I just love cuddling up on the couch with a warm blanket, some hot cocoa, and a good book!
The changing colors in nature is what I love most about fall, though. I remember as a young girl gathering up all the colorful leaves in the front yard and creating piles so I could leap into them.
