This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

A Special Friday Request

Daniel Jackson --It seems ironic that the photos they offer the prisoners have the idyllic tropical backgrounds as though they were vacation pictures.


I encourage any of you who will to read the following post:

Dan is calling out to those who will listen to him.  I hope that it might be you and that you might send him a word of encouragement in his comments.

    Thanks for the reminder - I haven't been able to visit Daniel's site much in the past few weeks.

    I love his blog. Such a unique and interesting perspective. Thanks for the reminder, like Alex I haven't made it by in a couple weeks.

    Thanks for the reminder Lee, I see what you mean about the photograph.

    Have a good week-end.

    Thanks for the reminder, Lee. And most of the backdrops are painted by the inmates r at least they use to be.

    It really is sad how much beautiful talent evil has swallowed up.

    Alex -- I understand. With the book tour, NaNo, and all you've been keeping pretty busy.

    Matthew -- I'm sure he appreciates your visit. It is a different point of view than we get from most blogs.

    Yvonne -- You'd think he was on vacation, but I guess that backdrop is better than showing where he really is.

    Dezmond -- Yes, it's the same man. I like to drop a reminder on my blog for people to visit him since he is often forgotten since he can't comment on other blogs.

    Jules -- Yes, I can't truly imagine what it is really like in a place like that, but I'm sure can stifle creativity and personal growth. It's certainly not like going to college or being in an intellectual environment.

    You have done a good thing here, reminding us all of what we have. You've allowed us a look into another setting where although stifling, it houses some amazing talents.
