Interview with Author Richard L. Weaver II, New Blog Design, and Thursday Essay Preview

Blog Design Changes

Have you seen our redesigned blogs?  If you're getting our blog via email and haven't visited our online blogs, you're in for a treat!  Our goal was to create a better navigation system throughout our blogs.  Using the colored navigation tabs above, you can easily click to the news, quotes, essays, fine art+, jokes... and then some!  Each blog open in a new tab in your browser. We hope this will help you keep track of where you started from.  Everyone dislikes getting lost in links and hitting the "back" button in our browsers ad nauseam.  Our brain gets fried and we end up not caring where we started from.

Here's a great place to start... Let's Laugh

Thursday's Essay Preview

What prompted me to make a return visit to my seven “Messages” essays, is the current state of politics in America.  This is not designed as a political essay, and I am trying not to take sides; however, the political climate, best symbolized in the expression, “the party of ‘no,’” brought my “Messages” essays to mind.  I haven’t written an essay entitled, “Messages Politicians Need to Hear,” but the political climate certainly encourages me to make the effort.  It would easily fall into line with six of the other seven “Messages” essays, the essential message of which is: “take responsibility for yourself and your behavior.”

Thursday's Essay Excerpt

In the essay, “The Message Students Don’t Want to Hear,” I end the essay saying: “Drop the excuses, change your attitude, and recognize that it’s all up to you!”  In, “The Message Women Don’t Want to Hear,” my final line in the essay reads, “Just remember that, in the end, the burden for the strength and endurance of your relationship falls squarely on your shoulders.”
