I started at 8:30pm deciding on video’s. After years of enjoyment, YouTube and VeVo are enforcing copyright laws. Somebody has an answer, please leave a comment or email msandorm@verizon.net. The Shania Twain video is an example, of the the copyright screen. I stopped at 1:00am, way past bedtime. I’m praying for progress today. Here’s a snack while I work on desert.

I was thinking about tunes to play, Prince came to mind. He’s Mystical, very erotic with dancers and fans enjoy every minute. Prince supported multiple charities, one supported kids education. He heard the library was closing due to lack of funds. The next day, the library doors opened.
I celebrate the life of Prince and pray the family comes together with hearts of love.

I met with the Lyme Doctor on Monday, arriving home yesterday emotionally and physically drained. I knew music would lift my spirit. The videos are special to me for the message. I’m blessed even when it sounds differently. Thank you for bringing sunshine with your comments. RIP Merle Haggard. Xx M
Does the site look crowded? I’m still not sure about the Twitter roll.
Is there something you would like to see?
Do you ever look at Footer Widgets?
I want the site to flow, easy to read with the post taking center stage.
Thanks a million for your help! Hugs to my friends and followers. You keep me running when there’s no energy to move! There are so many people helping in this small community.

I enjoyed picking the videos this week, so many great tunes to choose from. The songs have memories attached in my head. The passion of an artist has to shine brightly. Xx M
Remember to leave a comment or suggestion for next week.
I’m a die-hard James Bay fan, every release captures my music heart. James loves to make funny faces in photos off stage.
Withdraw was not as lonely with James replying to several twitter messages. I’m still picking up the scattered pieces of my brain. Laughter is helping me find a way out. If one person enjoys this post, you’ve given me something I’ve lost. I will get it back. Xx M

Time to celebrate!!!! Bring your kazoo, streamers, silly string and lots of cupcakes. I can finally say Looking for the Light has merged with Looking for the Light Blog.
The conversion took longer than expected. Now Looking for the Light (previous) blog completes the transition to http:lookingforthelightblog.wordpress.com. The conversion added almost 500 new post dating back to 2005.
I have learned a valuable lesson, starting a new site and importing post from previous blog will give you grey hair. The confusion during the holidays was crazy for me and many followers.
I appreciate those who stayed with me. Many people didn’t know where my blog would be the next day. Neither did I, every morning was a guessing game.
A special thanks to friends and followers, we completed the journey from hell.

If you could leave what URL you found me at I would appreciate it. I have time to solve my issues before WordPress comes back from big corporate meeting. Help me out.

1. If a zombie apocalypse would happen right this very minute, are you going to tweet about it? But seriously, are you going to fight or run? Why?
I’m running. I don’t know what Zombie’s can do so I’ll get out of there.
2. How would you spend a million dollars?
Make a contribution to charities I support. Then get on an airplane and see the world.
3. What thing would you want to change yourself?
I cuss too much, it’s a bad habit I’ve had since childhood.
4. What’s your Chinese birth year sign? I’m best suited for breeding.
5. If you could invent something, what is that? why?
This is hard, there so many. Clean drinking water to prevent children from dying of preventable diseases. I have to add a far-fetched invention. Magic fairy dust to have all wars stopped and peace around the world. I can always wish.
6. A gift that you would love to receive on your birthday?
A ticket around the world first class by myself and a guide. Traveling alone is the best way To top the dream birthday, a new professional camera and gear. We can’t forget bug spray, tall very thick boots for snakes, and a gun to kill anything trying to take me down.
7. What is WordPress effect in your life and your message to me as your fellow blogger?
My life with WP is shaped by the people I meet. It’s great to meet people with similar interests to BS, and great writers to admire. I can reach out to people who are struggling and offer someone to talk to. My heart is filled with sunshine in many ways being in the WP family.
A message to fellow bloggers: Being rude to followers or responding to comments isn’t worth it. If you have a desire to grow your followers, thank each person for stopping by your site. Write for yourself, not for the number of followers.
The nominations have opened my mind and touched my soul. Congrats!
