Angel of Friendship

I always intend to respond to tags, but rarely have the time.

Earlier today, however, I was tagged by someone whose friendship and love have shone a light into my day on more than one occasion, and I’m compelled to respond.

My heart is cheered by this beautiful little angel from Jenny of Marriage and Beyond and I’m humbled by the sentiments conveyed.

In the true spirit of friendship, which the angel represents, I’m not tagging anyone, but I am thanking the following people for their continued support:

• Durano of The Spitting Vessel
• Jessie of What Have You
• John of JTPratt’s Blogging Mistakes
• Marcus of Internet Business Guide
• Zhu of Correr Es Mi Destino

There exists no obligation to do diddly-squat in response to this, it has simply provided me with an opportunity to stand up in the Mexican Wave of link love rippling through cyberspace.

One of my mailing lists builds consistently from this offer, so your name and email address will be added to it. However, currently I don’t broadcast very frequently, and every email contains an unsubscribe option, so you aren’t lumbered with me forever!

The Rose

Earlier today my sister sent me an email containing a story, which purports to be true, however, I have no way of knowing whether or not it is, but it does contain truth, and I feel compelled to share it.

The Philosophy of the Rose

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

School Days ID Parade UPDATE

I’ve introduced a couple of minor changes to the master plan…

• Comments: It’s been a delight reading your entries to the contest and, because I can see no way that anyone could possibly gain an advantage from them, I’ve decided to open Comments for everyone’s enjoyment.

• Number of Entries Allowed: You may enter once on behalf of each individual blog or website you manage.*

[* This replaces the guideline restricting entry to one per person, email address, blog or IP address, which I now realize doesn’t entirely add up!]

So, come on, those of you who’ve been stomping your feet in frustration! Now, you’re able to enter as many times as the size of your virtual real estate allows!

Don’t forget that your website gains a link when you comment here, because the Wordpress Plug-ins ‘Do Follow’ and ‘Comment Luv‘ are activated, so you’ll benefit just by entering the contest… win or lose!

Go on, give it your best shot!

School Days ID Parade

I’ve noticed that the chorus of bird song audible from the garden has been growing louder as Spring announces her arrival. This year is passing at such breakneck speed, it’s a little unnerving!

We anticipate our future and contemplate our past, but too often we neglect spending enough time enjoying the present.

As life progresses, time passes more and more quickly, and before we’re aware, it’s arrived, and been and gone. There are no dress rehearsals, so it’s important to identify what we want from life, and how we aim to accomplish it.

When I was at school I didn’t appreciate the luxury of education or the opportunity that it afforded. I was always too eager to grow up, to be a teenager and do what teenagers did — have fun, enjoying a carefree life of excitement, adventure and romance.

Here’s a squint at a sample of the squares I was so keen to escape…

A first prize of 5,000 Entrecard Credits [ECs] or $25 Amazon Gift Token is offered to the person to correctly identify which one of these grotesques is our very own Reward Rebel, aged 11 years.

This is how I look these days — easy-peasy, or what?

One outright winner will be drawn from the correct entries and awarded 5,000 ECs or $25 Amazon Gift Token. A further 1,000 ECs will be divided between the remaining correct entries. So, everyone answering correctly wins ECs — whether it’s 100 or 1,000 depends on how many people have a keen eye!

Of course, if the winner has a website, it automatically receives a generous serving of publicity from Reward Rebel, washed down with a glass of effervescent link love.

To enter, simply refer to the indexed outline of the photo below, ascertain the ID number of the girl you think is me, and enter your answer in a comment on this post. Comments will remain in moderation until the contest has closed, and the winners declared.

• All entries must be received by midnight EST on Monday, 31 March.
• Winners will be announced on Tuesday, 1st April.
• Entry is restricted to one per person, email address, blog or IP address.

Good luck!

Internet Marketing Success Mystery

Internet Marketing was the category that I originally selected when I signed-up Reward Rebel to Entrecard. For a while, I changed allegiance to Making Money Online; returning to Internet Marketing when I noticed that my site’s improved ranking would position it in the category’s Top 3.

Hey, it’s all about leverage, right?

The mystery is trying to figure out how come Reward Rebel now occupies the Number 1 spot for Internet Marketing. Even more curious is that, however briefly, it’s at the Number 10 spot on the Popular page!

This is totally delightful, but I’m not delusional – I know Reward Rebel doesn’t deliver a sure-fire route to riches, it isn’t the wittiest anecdotal reservoir of amusement, it doesn’t even offer daily updates!

I’m grateful and indebted to those of you who have visited my site, read the content, dropped Entrecards, offered advice and provided support. Entrecard can take up a lot of time, and sometimes I question how well spent that time is, after all, I need to be making money online, not simply socialising with my blog buddies!

I guess I’ll just keep doing more of the same — but better — and hope that Reward Rebel’s adventure continues to go from strength to strength.
