Working Away....

It has been an interesting week as the development work in #Outsiders has been continuing--at times with challenges.     I was reflecting upon this as I was also working away on other projects as I ran across this from +Jonathan Huie whose thoughts have been featured in the legacy sites of #Outsiders and a recent one was also featured on the new Beta Site:





Faith is realizing that you always get what you need.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.
I won't be made useless.
I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
- Jewel 




I  also decided to have a little fun as I ran across this while working away at the Walden University E-Campus.  This was featured on BuzzFeed:

This was my result: Artisan

You’re creative and value the arts along with other creative outlets. You’ve always had a sense of adventure and are spontaneous. You’ve always valued expression, and don’t hold back on saying how you feel. You love personal freedom, and are always looking to discover new things.




It has also been a challenging week  around the World.   Over 90 people lost their lives as the thugs of Daesh attacked markets in Baghdad as the war in Iraq continues with no end in sight.     What I view as the greatest show on Earth is also continuing--as the US House Speaker Paul Ryan and the presumptive Republican Nominee Donald Trump had a meeting and promised party unity.      It is fascinating to see the upheaval in Republican Circles.

Fascinating times.....

On the Eve of Mothers' Day 2016.....


On the US Election Front, it has been a day of political jockeying as Senator Lindsay Graham came out strongly against Donald Trump and as Jeb Bush became the third member of the Bush Family to note that he would be sitting out the Campaign.      Donald Trump talked about it during a rally in Nebraska--Senator Ben Sasse  Home State who noted this not so long ago in regards to both candidates:
