Being A Survivor

2012-05-17T07:01:00.001-07:00

My new quote to spark some motivation and inspiration :)

"When life gets you down, don't be a victim,be a fighter because if there's one thing the human race knows how to do, its survive."

Love thyself

2012-05-16T15:53:00.001-07:00

Just a new quote I wrote as I got tired of contemplating all that of which was going wrong in my life lately and started looking at what was right and before I knew it I was happy and thinking positively rather than negatively..

"Instead of looking at what's wrong in your life,look at what's right...do this everyday and you'll not only thank yourself for it,you'll love yourself!"

Showcasing the Artwork of Talented Young Artist Candice Wallace

2012-02-08T09:05:00.000-08:00

Showcasing my daughter Candice Wallace's artwork..she wants to become a tattoo artist one day and with her talent, I think its highly possible.

Her idol is Kat Von D, who admittedly, being somewhat out of touch, I have to say I had no idea as to who she was until Candice pointed it out or rather drilled it into my head "Only the best tattoo artist alive"... My daughter who can virtually tell you pretty much anything about Kat Von D dreams of being as good as her one day and who knows maybe she will be...

Candice definately has the talent, most of these she created by the age of 16!

Personally speaking, as her mom, I think that if Candice used this talent a lot more she would become the best she that she could be, but if I know her,she will when she's ready! ;) Here's lookin at you kiddo! ;)

As a final note,the bottom sketch is my favorite and though it is sinister,it displays some fantastic imagination and artistry.

Candice is also into dubstep music, creating and mixing,her name Hellqueen...If you would like to check some of her music out go to:

If you wanna take a peek or get more info about Kat Von d you can see her on MySpace at

Working With What You Have

2012-02-07T13:33:00.001-08:00

Just contemplating how many people try to act better than others or pretend to be people thier not and honestly it all irrelevant because...

"I don't care what others have or can do,its what I have and what I can do that counts!"

Keep that as a perspective in your life and you will see that there really is no reason to envy others because we all have something to offer. No two people are the same so why try to be? Perhaps those you envy would secretly choose to trade places because no one knows what's going on in another persons head unless they tell you...Try being yourself for a while,it might just surprise you!

Just like the wind never give up

2012-02-07T11:26:00.001-08:00

Location : Notre Dame Ave, St Andrews, NS B0H 1X0,

Recently, due to the winter weather and lack of sun, I seem to have lost a lot of my motivation until I seemingly felt the wind on my face that reached something within me,my spirit and since that time I've been writing up a storm...The photo above was taken in March of last year of me and it reminded me to keep moving forward. ;) My new quote.

"It's hard to place your feet firmly on the ground when your spirit is like the wind and when the wind moves, you blow with it, you flow with it and hot damn you go with it."

A Cleasing of the Soul

2012-01-21T06:06:00.000-08:00

Just a funny quote I wrote...

There's nothing that cleanses your soul better than getting kicked out of hell...apparently I argued to much.lol

No Regrets

2012-01-15T05:46:00.000-08:00

Recently I have found myself feeling like I am being taken for granted which lead me to this quote and though, in ways I may have written it from my own sadness of knowing I am,I can honestly say that I too was once guilty of this many years ago until I lost someone very dear to me and I opened my eyes....I hope this quote inspires anyone who reads it to show your love and appreciation to those whom you love in your life and to see that by doing so,it will lead to a happier life for you and all those who love you with no regrets.

"Always remember to never take those you love for granted because life is too short for the excuses as to why you do and before you know it you'll be left regretting with the words,"I should have,I could have,why didn't I?"

A Resolution To The Heart

2012-01-10T07:14:00.000-08:00

While doing some serious contemplating,oddly on Facebook, I wrote a new quote in which I am publishing here today...I would like to thank everyone for the messages/responses I had on this quote and thier kind words of support...Many thanks to them as it makes me strive to move forward in my writing as it seemed to be at a standstill. My quote is for an actual resolution that can be kept!

"Making some resolutions to only let those into my heart from now on that are worthy of being in it..who you might ask? Those who are understanding, patient and supportive people who are there when you need them and not afraid to show thier love for you.And it is those very people whom you should not take for granted because they are a life commiment."
The end? lol

Imagine Your Happy

2011-11-21T05:22:00.000-08:00

In my ongoing quest for happiness,I've discovered one way to find happiness even when I'm down,hence the new quote.

"Take a moment to imagine that your happy,now if you keep imagining that throughout your day,chances are you will be." :)

The Psychic Connection Between Twins

Taking a look into the psychic connection and coincidences of twins and the puzzling connection they have to one another without knowing it.

Sometime ago I wrote about what it is really like to be an identical twin. In this article which was named “The Truth About What It’s Really Like to be an Identical Twin” I explained that most times when twins are identical, they are created from a single fertilized ovum that splits in two and share the same placenta in the uterus often sharing an almost an identical match in DNA which goes just beyond physical appearance.
People seem to be drawn to the idea that being a twin would simply be cool or fun, and though many people can assume what it is like to be one, only an identical twin can actually tell you the truth of the matter. In the article I went on to explain the pros and cons of being an identical twin. One of the upsides is that you always have a.........

The Truth About What It's Really Like to be an Identical Twin

Taking a look into what it is really like being born an identical twin, the good aspects and the bad.

Identical twins or Monozygtic twins by the scientific name are almost Always born of the same sex and their traits and physical appearances are very similar but not exact, although, their DNA is almost identical. The environmental conditions both in the womb and throughout identical twins lives enables and influences them to be able to switch on and off various genes.
Being born as an identical twin, people always say to me what is it like being a twin, or I wish I had a twin, would that ever be cool! These people often have the misconception.....

Pledge To Yourself

2011-09-27T05:00:00.000-07:00

Most often times, in our need to make everyone else happy and please others, we tend to forget about the most important person,ourselves. A new quote I wrote inspired by the realization of this in my own life.

"If your unable to devote yourself to your own happiness,how can you expect anyone else to."

Thanks for reading as always and I hope you find some inspiration to take from this in your own life.

Kind words

2011-09-07T04:27:00.000-07:00

My new quote, "A single kind word will not only brighten someone's day,it may brighten thier life."

Giving Is More Worthy Than Recieving

2011-09-05T05:00:00.000-07:00

Why do some people act like they are better than others...we are all born the same way...with nothing and we are all gonna die the same way..with nothing...With this wave of thought it sparked me to write this quote..."Life is measured by the give, not the get and got."

Friday The 13th, Unlucky Or Lucky?

2011-05-13T13:38:00.000-07:00

In the spirit of Friday the 13, I decided to write an article taking a look into why this day is really considered a bad day. With the facts present, perhaps you will see beyond the superstitions and myths and see Friday the thirteenth in a different light, researching this thouroughly, I did!

Looking into my own life, personally, I believe Friday the 13th to be a fairly lucky day for me, although,many people do not and throughout history it has somehow become a superstitious day associated with bad luck. But why?

Why do some builders and architects still exclude the number 13 from their floors and why is it that this so call day/number.....................

The Photography Creations Of Ashley Watson

2011-05-11T01:13:00.000-07:00

Recently I spoke of hightlighting the work of those who gave me some really good writing suggestions and I am a woman of my word. Today I will be covering the photographer Ashley Watson also known as Lotash by his followers and I for one happen to be one of them for the brilliant, creative photos this man continously comes up with.

Because Ashley takes has two different sides of photography, I am going to be adding it here as well as Artistic Visions Gardening for his floral photography and here for some of his creative works, both sides equally good and both sides continuing to get better as time progresses.

If you want a photo taken Ashley he may just be the man to take it but if you want a creative piece of photography, Ashley is 100 percent the man you want to take it! Take a look at some of this phenominal work and you will see why. All copyright on the below images belongs to Ashley Watson.

Ways To Market Your Work Online To Get More Traffic And Profits

2011-05-06T00:46:00.001-07:00

Many new writers have been asking me for advice for quite some time and though I could quite easily write an article about this and publish it elsewhere, I decided to post it directly to my own website for a change and with any luck those who read it will find it helpful.

There are many ways to increase traffic to your site and articles, although I am specifically speaking about articles in this case and none of these ways involve reposting your articles on other sites such as wikinut for example, in fact, they decrease the value of the original article. People often make the mistake in believing they will be doubling the amount they get paid on thier work by doing so, however; this is not the case. When publishing an article and then reposting that same article a couple of days later to another site,though most don't know it, the second site will pay you very little for that already published article and, on top of that, the original then goes into a low pay scale because you published it elsewhere and your so called great article then becomes virtually dead in the water as you are then getting less traffic to both.

When looking at it this way, it doesn't sound quite as good as you first thought huh.It really is a no win situation when you repost your work and apart from everything else I have just mentioned, instead of taking the time to write another quality article, you actually just wasted that time reposting the article that you will now be getting paid less for!

Places like Factoidz do not even allow you to repost articles for three days because they know it is taking away the traffic from the original article.

Regardless to say, that would be my first tip to new content writers, instead of wasting your time reposting your articles, spend it on marketing the original and writing another article. I never repost my work but I do market my work extensively and that truly is one of the key points for any good writer, knowing how to market thier work efficiently and effectively.

An excellent place to start is with the usage of search engines, they not only increase the value of your article, they effortlessly add your article to 25 different search engines at a time! Try a search for free web submitters, it costs you nothing but time but it is time well spent. Below I have added 4 free web submission sites that I use to make it easier for you, all I ask is that you click an add or two on my website as a thankyou to me for taking the time to write this as well as add these very useful links you should get accustomed to using.

Also Facebook, Stumble upon and Twitter are excellent ways to market your work, especially if you spend some time on there checking out others stuff, if you are not willing to give back and put the time in doing so, these networking sites, needless to say, they are a waste of time.

Two other places you can market your work are Redgage and Shetoldme which have some nice little added perks for posting your link especially RedGage. They give you a small percentage of the money they receive on ads to post your links to their site, you are also entered into a daily contest as well for 25 dollars. This is a win win because not only are you marketing your work, you are getting paid to do so and it does not take a lot of time.

Joining forums are also quite good although make sure you participate in the active conversations going on,otherwise you will get kicked out for spamming.

Now the last thing I would really like to say if you want success, market, market and market!

Ideas And Creation

2011-05-04T00:27:00.001-07:00

Well so far from posting yesterdays piece, I have had two new ideas come my way and ideas that were very good ones if I do say so.

One was for my gardening site, Artistic Visions Gardening and another was for Mystify The Mind. One friend asked me to write about some of the gardens I designed and another was advice I had to new content writers.

Today I am going to set out to work on my gardening article, which is something that usually takes me a bit of time becuase like most things in my life, I like my writing to be perfect and I also take the time to choose the appropriate photos that go with my work. I did in fact take the time to write my article on the advice I have for new content writers which I only have yet to edit so with any luck I will be able to post that later today and if not at the latest,tomorrow morning.

Rather than publish these articles through publishing companies such as Factoidz, Wikinut and Triond, I am going to post them directly to my sites which I hope helps my sites as I have been doing a lot to them recently including marketing.

Also another idea I came up with last night was for the people who do make suggestions and that have a site they would like to display, I will post the link on my website Mystify The Mind unless of course it is gardening related which I will then post on Artistic Visions Gardening. I will do an individual post on them as well as a small review within the post it if they so wish. My first will be highlighting the work of the photographer Lotash.

Thanks for reading everyone! Happy reading and writing!

Tanya.

What The Readers Want

2011-05-01T02:02:00.001-07:00

Recently, I have been doing a lot of thinking and it involves ideas for new articles to write and though I did come up with a lot of new ideas and actually completed a few of them and began writing some more, I was hit by a brain wave or more like bolt of lightening hitting me upside the head and I thought, "Why not ask my friends and fans what they would like to read about, why not ask them what type of article they would like to see me write about!"

The brainstorm among brainstorms, now there is a challenge among challenges as a writer and what a brilliant idea if I do say so, it's not really about what I want to write about, it is more about what others would like to see me write about and what others would like to read so with that in mind, I am definately willing to rise to the challenge, are you?

Let me know what you would like to see, it can be anything from an article to poetry to a short story. And for Artistic Visions Gardening what type of gardening article would you like to see?

To make it easy just email me or leave a comment. My email is:

mystify@gmail.com

Cheers! I am looking forward to any and all comments.

No In Betweens

2011-04-29T02:14:00.001-07:00

A short poem I wrote about myself and my friends and enemies, although, with any luck,hopefully I don't have any enemies but if I do this is a fitting poem..

You either love me

Or you hate me

There's no in betweens

I don't worry about what people think

I haven't since my teens

So if you hate me

I gotta say

I don't give a damn

I don't really care

But if you love me

I look forward

To all the times

We'll share.

I am loyal to my friends

I'll always have thier back

The people who I love

Friends who bring me back on track

But to my haters

I will say again

I don't really care

Because if you hate me

Ask youself

Why the hell

Are you even here

Lock Down

2011-04-27T07:26:00.001-07:00

This is a realistic horror about what the consquences are to crime.

You always go in one way and come out another, hardened by the criminals you do time with.

Society itself punishes you, hardens you and slaps you in with a bunch of convicts who know the rules of the game.You then become aware that you either do or die and inevitably become an even worse criminal than what you were when you went in, straying from all pupose, leading you down the devils path of enlightment.

Perhaps you know someone like this,or have a family member like this, or even been there yourself but obviously, no one ever likes to admit it......I wrote this for my brother.

I have had quite a few responses on this poem given its subject matter,on the site itself as well as networking sites that I submitted the link to and some of the responses are those who served time,some of them hard time like my bro and none of the responses I got were bad so I must have did something right when concerning this poem....

Within the depths

Of an earthly hell

One that bears his name

Owned by him

Shackled and chained

Signed and sealed

In his domain

You let him in

You opened the door

But the day has come

To settle the score

The mirrored image

Reflects a hard cold beast

Signed and sealed

Your life is leased

No Difference

Two new quotes I just wrote, although they both go with the quote, Never Forget

"Rich or poor,we all came into this world the same way,with nothing and we all go out the same way,with nothing" and though, "We all strive to be different doesn't that make us all the same."

I wrote this poem to raise awareness about drunk driving and the pain it can cause families.Personally, I have never suffered the pain that comes from drunk driving and I hope I never have to,hence the poem. People do suffer from this in many ways and I only hope I did the poem justice.On a final note think responsibly,dont drink and drive, the suffering,sorrow and damage it can cause just because you feel like driving is not worth it!

I’m sorry for not being there for you
I’m sorry I should have done more
I’m sorry I didn’t stop you
When you walked out that door
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I loved you
I’m sorry I didn’t say how much I cared
I’m sorry for not saying
All the things I would have shared

Learning Not To Make The Same Mistake

2011-04-17T03:10:00.001-07:00

Recently my old phone bit the dust and though I am happy about it now because I have a far better phone as it's the new HTC Desire sense and has a million more capabilities than my last phone and I can now do some serious blogging on this blog as well on my gardening blog "Artistic Visions Gardening," unfortunately I had many new quotes, poems and even articles I wrote saved on my last phone that I cannot access any longer and stupidly I did not write them out on my computer or even paper for that matter.So admittedly,I have now learned from my mistakes and from now on,though it will take me more time,I will write everything out the old fashioned way on paper so I won't lose anything again! I do have plenty written not to be bothered too much about it but some of my best ideas come to me in the weirdest of places and it's so easy to just write a memo on my phone as it's always with me. So I guess the moral/quote today is :"Life is a learning process and one where we will make many mistakes, the important part to remember is to learn from those mistakes so you don't make the same mistake twice."

Imperfect World

2011-04-12T02:41:00.000-07:00

Humans are imperfect so why is it that the human race not only expects perfection but strives for it as well. Even the most beautiful flower on earth will most certainly contain a flaw if you look hard enough.
