- -Author Stephen King, who shares my birthday, September 21!; my uh..sir name...King, and my 'Vocation...
...Reportedly, is unfavorable to 'Acronyms...
...you know; the abbreviation from the 'initials of other words, and may be pronounced as a word, like, NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration!
So...Hagin-Duchess, why do you so strongly champion the Acronym! you ask- -
It's namely a Mnemonic Acronym that'sa driving force in my life, and the lives of so many others!
As the mnemonic acronym, SMART, has surly guided me, and legions, in setting life altering 'Objectives. Further, my ability to 'Set Goals has greatly benefited from this mnemonic acronym's intrinsic delivery: Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Realistic-Timely!
And, I invite All, to leave a comment, sharing your encounters with Acronyms! And you're All welcomed to choose a side; it's either me, the biographer, Ms. King, or, the rich and famous author, Mr. King!
As the month of 'March closes, and we 'march to the month's end!
Yes, it's obvious I'm in the mood for homophones: words with the same pronunciation, but with different meanings, origins, or spellings: Heard/Herd! Here/Hear!
And even Homographs;words with the same spelling(March/March) but different meanings.
...but what "other words" are we saying that are of concern to me today...
So...instead of saying words that can Hurt,let's have Fun with Grammar, using all the words under the umbrella of Homonyms, you know: words that sound alike, but have different meanings!
- -One of the many reasons I admire Martha Steward so Profoundly, is because of her seemingly, unshakable Focus!
...So, it's Martha Stewart I tried to emulate, when I'd just wrote and co-produced my first Episode of, "Grammar Laughter!"...a grammar-centric TV short, that I hoped was the beginning of a TV franchise segment, like the Hundreds, Martha Stewart so masterfully, produces.
But...
I was just starting to Start, when...Thud! B-O-O-M!, my life spit apart at the seams...
...and "Grammar Laughter!"becomes a casualty of war, that would be left dormant on the wayside, for another 6-years, while I rebuilt my life, relocating from Palm Beach, where I'd landed my career defining roles as a news reporter, for both TV and print news; hosted business TV and wrote the evening broadcast, as an Associate News Producer, under the umbrella of a Palm Beach, Fox News Affiliate.
...And that Ending, propelled a new beginning, because I was off to Hawaii!
Where, like Martha Stewart,"Grammar Laughter!"would again, rise, with mammoth focus! So Follow along, in the Coming Post, because like anything in life, circumstances are relative, and so is the Paradise Island of Oahu!
--You hear it, you Feel it.. that inner voice, that Longing, that nagging that continues to Urge You to keep...Painting! Writing! Acting!... Creating!
...So...is there a Dilemma?.. a question?.. as to how you... 'can, should, may'...structure your Time and Resources trying to manifest as much of your Calling, your authentic Self as possible?
