Smorgasbord Saturday: 3rd week of Ultra Blog Challenge


Picture I drew with pastels of my 'inner fire' during Expressive Arts therapy class

Ok, here's a recap of my Ultra Blog Challenge this past week starting from Monday, September 15th. Except for the post on Thursday, the theme this week seems to be either creativity or communication through writing, singing, and talking, as well as nonverbally, with fire.

100 Words: Write to Change the World was my early week post prompted by WriteTribe (blogging challenge). Notice the proud badge on my blog? ;) My take, a different perspective, is on one of a number of inspired quotes we were to choose from. I chose one from 'the King' himself. No, not Elvis Presley or Muhammad Ali or even Michael Jackson, but Martin Luther King. (http://www.xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2014/09/100-words-write-to-change-world.html)

Tantalizing Tuesday: Child MJ Impersonator was originally meant to be posted as 'Talented Tuesday' or 'Talented Thursday.' It was something I felt compelled to share after seeing it the previous night online on Facebook. If you like/love Michael Jackson, you will love this, I think. ;) If you have time, view both videos; one is quite short.

Wordless Wednesday: Caption Wanted is self-explanatory. A photo (I took) with a caption wanted by you, the 'audience', my readers to stimulate your creativity. (http://www.xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2014/09/wordless-wednesday-caption-wanted.html)

Talented Thursday: Walkie-talkie You! is a twist on the word "talented" that had me and others learn a new word: nomophobia. A photo depicts a phenomenon that is replacing internet addiction. What will be next as technology is increasing exponentially? (http://www.xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2014/09/talented-thursday-walkie-talkie-you.html)

Ending with Frolicking Fun Friday: Painting with Fire Part 2 which featured - finally - a video of the fantastic fire performers, Paint with Fire that I initially posted two weeks ago, but with photos only. The photos served injustice to their creative performance that I witnessed - not the one in the video. However, it will give you a sense of their show.
