When Women Go Quiet…
Posted on Jan 12, 2019 by Terveen Gill

Some of you might be smirking at the title. Women and QUIET?
Now that’s an OXYMORON!!
No, I’m not calling an ox a moron…I mean oxymoron. It means contradiction; women and quiet…complete opposites of each other…because apparently women can never be quiet…get it?
Never Mind! The joke is already RUINED.
Women, often portrayed as the fairer sex, or the weaker sex, but definitely not the bleaker sex, are intelligent, emotional and highly intuitive beings.
They have been around since the beginning of time, and have been giving men a run for their money.

Is the Holiday Spirit killing you?
Posted on Dec 25, 2018 by Terveen Gill

Are you one of those people who seem fairly normal and upbeat?
Are you one of those people who work hard, and look forward to some good old relaxation?

Does the heat make you perspire with glee?
Does the cold make you shiver, and clack your knees?
But, what about the HOLIDAY SEASON?

Posted on Oct 23, 2018 by Terveen Gill

It’s that time of year again when the make-believe demons and ghouls steal the spotlight from the REAL monsters of our times.

5 DEVASTATING Truths that need ME TOO
Posted on Oct 11, 2018 by Terveen Gill

Who hasn’t heard or read about the Me Too movement?
Me, a word that acts as a reference to oneself, the self that one learns to accept and love, and save from harm’s way since the beginning of one’s life. Too, a word that means also, or in addition to. However, when ‘Me’ and ‘Too’ are combined – Me Too – these two tiny words lose their simple natures to adopt a much greater and horrifying complexity.
VICTIMIZATION!!

Say my NAME like you mean it!!
Posted on Sep 11, 2018 by Terveen Gill

What is so important about it? Why does so much thought go into keeping the right one? It’s not like only a blessed few have it. We all have one. And it sticks with us till THE END.
Even though we’re not born with it, we definitely die with it. A name is the first thing assigned to us when we enter this world. A label so that we don’t forget who we are, and so that others don’t have to wrack their brains to remember us. Imagine a world where there were no names.
What would we say if we had to call out to someone, or address someone? Keep on Reading!

Writers are from MARS, Readers are from VENUS
Posted on Jul 24, 2018 by Terveen Gill

A writer and a reader are destined to bond over a plethora of words.
WORDS bring the two together, and initiate them into a close yet undefinable relationship. A writer’s purpose is incomplete without a reader. And a reader is just a reader by name if he or she has nothing to read.
Yet when it comes down to understanding one another, a writer and reader don’t seem to speak the same language.
It’s as if writers are from MARS, and readers are from VENUS.

I’m just going to be extremely blunt with you. You’re going to DIE, and you should consider yourself damn LUCKY!
WHAT!! You think I’m crazy! OHHH!!! What did I tell you about using foul language?!! If you’re so cool, why don’t you threaten DEATH with some BAD WORDS, and make it run away?!!
Not so simple, IS IT??
