Hey guys, I'm sorry that I haven't replied to the comments recently. I've been really busy with sorting out my website... the layout is done but the content is underway. Again, it's all thanks to the fabulous Clem, one of the people that helped my dream become a reality.

Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to blog until my new website is finished. But no worries - I will post a link from this website to my new one, which shall be even better and bigger than this one!

In the meantime, I'll just show you guys a sneakp eek at my blog (what's going to be on it):

Keep checking back here to see when I'm done! And I'll send all my commenters the new URL for the site as well.

Until next blog,

Pema

(( What Inspires YOU? ))

First of all, thanks everyone for congratulating me on my poem - it really means a lot. :)

But now to my blog entry for today... What Inspires YOU?

Inspiration plays such a big aspect in all creative fields: stories, poems, photos, artwork, choreography, or even blog posts! For instance, while vacationing in Hawaii, I was inspired by the absolutely gorgeous ocean, which inspired me to write the poem "The Tide".

I think for most people we usually are either inspired by our environment or our emotions. Our environment includes nature, people, places, things - basically our surroundings. Our senses come into play in our surroundings too, such as smell. Especially bakeries. I LOVE the smell of baked bread in the oven... (long sniff) ahhh... heavenly.

Thanks Akara! I do, and I'm glad you commented. I can't wait to see my site either - somehow, I wish making a site (and I'm sure other website mistresses agree with me) were as simple as pressing that Staples Easy Button - you know, the one that says "That was easy"? ... (more)

Tashi delek everyone! (That’s ‘hello’ in Tibetan.) I can speak bits of Tibetan, Indian, and a ‘candy-bag assortment’ of other languages. I mostly just know the hellos. But I mean hey – that’s important! If you’re going to some foreign country for the first time and if kidnappers come and get you and hold you hostage you’ll at least know the hello for the country’s language and who shouldn’t be polite to foreign kidnappers? J At least, that’s the logic I see in it. 

Below is the ‘Reply to Comments’ post everyone’s been waiting for! Keep ‘em coming!

I dance, too! I do Hula and Tahitian! It’s fun.

-C. Moore

Over this summer, when my family and I took a trip to Hawaii, I took a hula lesson. (Notice the ‘A’) Never got much experience beyond that. But I always thought Tahitian looked fun – lots of hip-shaking, which I think is probably one of the aspects of dance I’m better at. I just love the way Shakira dances – ... (more)
