A few days ago, award-winning film critic, Roger Ebert, passed away from complications of cancer at the age of 70. He lived life to the fullest right till the very end. During the last years of his life, he was still active despite having lost the ability to speak. He went on his Apple MacBook and continued to speak his voice through the words he typed. Ebert was bold in what he spoke and never shied away from what was on his mind just as he would critiquing a movie. Ebert was a powerhouse in the blogosphere with millions of loyal readers checking out his website daily...Reflecting on Ebert's blogging success, it has reinvigorated a lot of energy and motivation from within me. I believe it's time for a comeback and for me to speak my voice in volumes again just as I had in years' past. And I don't even know if it'll continue here on Blogger or not. Maybe I'll reboot my blog world at either Tumblr or Wordpress. And yes, I would like to incorporate photos from my end or stuff I find on the search engines, too (that shows appreciation of life and a source of inspiration). I think it's best to show how great the human spirit is especially during these times we live. People in Facebook have seen my profile change gradually in which it shows a totally different perspective - focusing more on the positives derived from inspiration quotes and Godly elements. I'm overwhelmed so far of the support and praise. As I get older, I realize life is filled with a myriad of challenges some of which tend to take away a wince of our smile or laugh and instead replace it with a frown or just plain seriousness. Believe me, it's not easy. There are times I find life to be so difficult or worrysome. But through all the good stuff I read daily, I find it to be therapeutic and motivating. It makes me feel wholesome again and go forward. I guess I have taken my blogging to a whole new level. My continuing presence here on Blogger remains to be seen. I will definitely need time to reflect on where I'm gonna wound up next. The possibilities are endless. But I can tell you all one thing - I'm back :)
