“Blogging meaningfully is more than just hitting ‘publish’—it’s sharing your truth with purpose, knowing your words have the power to inspire, uplift, and create change. Every post is a chance to leave the world a little brighter than you found it,” me.
In the hum of the digital world’s embrace, Lies a new kind of storyteller, setting the pace. No printing press, no newsroom’s wall, Just a screen and a voice — yet louder than all.
You are the fresh face of journalism today, A pathfinder carving out your own way. With every word you dare to release, You spark conversations, stir hearts to peace.
A post isn’t just content — it’s more than you see, It’s a platform, a bridge, a spark to set free. Your thoughts, your truths, your untold fight, Can be someone’s morning or their guiding light.
The power you hold isn’t feather-light, It’s a beacon that glows through day and night. You write to inform, to heal, to inspire— To fan change’s flame or ignite desire.
Don’t wait for permission or shrink from the task, The world needs your words — all it asks. You shape meaning with every line you create, And rewrite destinies that once seemed too late.
Some will scroll by, but others will stay— Reading your post could brighten their day. Or lift their soul in a storm-tossed sea, Your voice can unlock who they’re meant to be.
So speak boldly, with passion and grace— Your blog is more than just words in a space. It’s your footprint, your mark on this earth, A chance to show others what courage is worth.
For in this age, where voices collide, Yours has the power to open minds wide. You are empowered — the pen’s now yours, A blogger, a dreamer, breaking open new doors.
Don’t take it lightly, this gift you possess— A voice that can build, uplift, and bless. The world is waiting, so rise and be heard— Your words have the power to change the world.
In the digital age, we meet online, Where distance fades and pixels shine. We share our thoughts with taps and swipes, In spaces lit by screens and bytes.
A message sent across the seas, Through tangled webs of data streams. We laugh with friends we’ve never met, In virtual rooms where lives are set.
Yet sometimes in this glowing light, We long for voices in the night. For eyes that meet, for hands to hold, For warmth that screens cannot unfold.
But still, we chat, we text, we share, In digital bonds that float like air. A world connected, vast and wide, Where even lonely hearts can hide.
So here we are, in bits and bytes, Our lives entangled, day and night. In this new world, both near and far, We search for love beneath a star.

Sesame Street is one of the most iconic and influential children’s television programs in history, having made a lasting impact on education and entertainment since its debut in 1969. Created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, the show was designed to prepare young children for school, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, using a combination of live-action, puppetry, and animation.
Educational Impact: The show’s primary strength lies in its educational content, which seamlessly integrates learning into engaging narratives and songs. Sesame Street covers a broad range of subjects, including literacy, numeracy, emotional intelligence, social skills, and cultural awareness. Its approach to teaching has been lauded for its effectiveness; research has shown that children who watch Sesame Street are better prepared for school and demonstrate improved academic performance. The show has continually evolved its curriculum to reflect contemporary educational standards and the changing needs of its audience, making it a trusted resource for parents and educators alike.
Cultural Relevance: Sesame Street is also praised for being a trailblazer its commitment to diversity and inclusion. From the beginning, the show has featured a multi-ethnic cast and addressed complex social issues in a way that is accessible to children. Topics such as race, disability, gender equality, and family diversity are handled with sensitivity, promoting values of empathy and understanding. Characters like Big Bird, Elmo, and Cookie Monster have become beloved figures worldwide, transcending cultural boundaries and making Sesame Street a global phenomenon.
Innovation and Creativity: Another significant aspect of Sesame Street is its innovative use of media and entertainment to educate. The show pioneered the use of Muppets, created by Jim Henson, which became a defining feature of the series. The characters are not only entertaining but also serve as effective teaching tools, conveying lessons in a memorable and relatable way. The mix of humor, music, and storytelling keeps children engaged while subtly delivering educational content. The show has also adapted to changes in media consumption, expanding its reach through digital platforms and social media, ensuring that it remains relevant in the modern age.
Critiques and Challenges: While Sesame Street has received widespread acclaim, it has faced some criticism over the years. Some argue that its move to premium cable (HBO) in recent years, away from its traditional public television home, might limit access for lower-income families—the very demographic it originally sought to serve. Additionally, as the show has adapted to contemporary issues, it has sometimes faced backlash from certain groups who feel that its content has become too politically charged.
Conclusion: Overall, Sesame Street stands as a towering achievement in children’s television, blending education and entertainment in a way that has profoundly influenced generations of viewers. Its ability to adapt to societal changes while remaining true to its core mission of educating and uplifting children is a testament to its enduring relevance. Despite the challenges it has faced, Sesame Street remains a beloved institution and a powerful tool for fostering early childhood development and cultural awareness.

Over two years ago, and in spirit of thanksgiving, I shared some of my good memories with fellow bloggers who I had the blessings and joy of sharing friendship with. However, given the span of time alone (with more than a decade of blogging), I don’t think one post is enough to express my appreciation. Truthfully, many times I couldn’t reciprocate given my health challenges and personal struggles. Thank goodness, the following bloggers below are genuinely nice people. Please bear with this humble post in gratitude for their kindness, generosity, compassion and support.
He’s the kindhearted man behind the blog, WritingToFreedom. He’s a gentle soul who writes poignant poems and musings about nature and his personal experiences. My favorite among his works, is the simple line, “Me in love with life. . .”
Brad, I owe you tons. Thank you so much for everything you do!
Dana is the fine woman behind the D-ale Copilariei.She is a passionate mother, who writes in Romanian. She fondly talks about her kids and the glory of motherhood. She’s also into photography and love for animals.
Dana, though we hardly see each other online, I know our mutual love and friendship remain. Thank you!
Cindy is a true naturalist. She is from California. She’s very much into photography. She is well traveled. And she is so beloved by our peers. Note that Cindy has tens of thousands (maybe more) of followers. And I think that alone speaks volumes.
Cindy, you inspire me and many of our fellows. A million thanks for being so kind and nice. Happy Thanksgiving, Cind!
Randall is an American living in Hong Kong. He is a professional photographer. His subjects are mostly people, cultures, and nature. He is well-traveled and is also into philosophy.
Randall, you deserve a Nobel for all your works . I am a fan and always will be.
Esther writes evocative poetry (especially haikus) and into aphorism. Esther writes in French, which inspired me to learn the language. What I find intriguing (and admirable at the same time) about my friend, is the line: “To live happily, live hidden.”
Esther, merci beaucoup. Je t’aime ma cheri, ma ami.
Paul is an engineer who simply love photography. What I share with him, is his love to learn, read, flowers and arts. He writes, “I like paintings and pictures, classical and crossover music, I like mountains and the sea, everything is beautiful,” Paul are you my soulmate? Just playin’.
Gavin is a minimalist and photographer. He is so brave to opt pictures in black-and-white. And with the 808, we have Hawai’i in common (I believe). He is also a music lover. Gavin likewise shares his personal struggles on his blog. And for that, I can’t thank him enough. For such openness, honesty and courage, we make ourselves vulnerable and easy targets of haters.
But Gavin, I am so proud of you. And I thank of you for the many years of support and friendship. God bless you my friend.
Wendell is my brother in Christ. He is the loving man behind the blog, WhereWordsDailyComeAlive. His blog is an oasis. Every post is so full of love and devotion to God. He also once lived here, in Hawai’i. And I can’t recall a negative post from Wendell.
Marina paints, draws, and designs (a minimalist). She is also an entrepreneur. We once tried to venture into a business. Sadly, my school schedule got in the way.
Hi, Marina. it’s been awhile. But I still hope one day, we can make our venture materialize.
Ivon is a professor. And that said, you can learn a lot from this man. He writes essays and poems. The name of his blog alone is truly an inspiration TeacherAsTransformer.
Happy Thanksgiving, Prof. Prefontaine! Thank you for your generosity.
Some of us blog for a living. Some of us blog for coping (with loneliness, sickness and etc). Some of us blog for expressing and giving in to passion. But whatever is behind your blogging, know that you are a part of something meaningful. Because every blog has a personal touch. Every blog enriches the Internet with humanity (for humanity). For that we have to give thanks and be grateful
Thank you, Mih–for your kindness, your patience, your friendship–thank you!
I have blogged for years now. But I never met a man as gentle and kind as Mihran Kalaydjian. Because aside from the fact that he had been so generous reblogging my posts, there was this one very warm conversation I had with him.
When I posted my condolences to our dear Ajaytao, I made Mihran cry that day. Although I was worried if I made him cry because I wrote bad; or I wrote something for Oscar’s (coz I do have the tendency for drama), but I was really touched with his honest sentiment. Coz Mihran never met Ajay, yet he shed a tear for him. He even asked me “Why am I crying, Aina?” I told him, “It’s because Mihran, you’re a gentleman with a very big heart and beautiful soul.” And so we were both crying in the end.
And I mean those words up to this very minute that I am writing this post. I could go on forever enlisting all the great things I appreciate in Mihran. So, I narrow it down to ten, and they’re below:
I guess, what I am trying to say: Mih, thank you for coming our ways! Thank you for the kindness you do everyday! Thank you for being a true gentleman in every way! You earned not only our respect, but our hearts as well. May all the blessing of Heaven and Earth be upon you, my friend! A million thanks to you kind thing!
P.S. Please own the message of the song below. It’s for you. I thank you with all my heart and soul!
. . .to all the fellow She’s of WordPress, and of the world.
