This is my first attempt in blogging. I am starting this mainly to provide a sample for my kids. I want them to write, write a lot, write about anything and everything...I see the world is full of bloggers. It's become so obvious that communication is the key to success, in relationships, career, in anything, even fun...

Communication has many fold, speach, written, picutres, and videos...My kids are immediatly connecting with videos, and my 8 year old is obsessed with creating video blogs. She watches many video's on how to make (e.g. polymer clay stuff) and she tries to create her own video on how to make. So, I am here, trying to weigh the value of written communication. Kids still do write assignments, research reports at school, but I am talking about writting for fun and publishing so others can read and connect with you, this is not happening yet.

I just came across the words'Visible & Connect', to me, it is so pertinent and makes sense to strive to be visible and keep connection with your environment/community. Many kids have talents, but who really shines, are the ones who are not shy to show the world, self-marketing! Creating is not the only component, presentation and marketing are the key!!!

I know I have creative kids, I need to help them with self-marketing, by joining the many kids out there who are already establishing their world with connecting. So, wish me luck with this one...
