like wildfire or flowing rivers.. who knows?



Kay is overwhelmed. She undid the sluice gates and now she's let the dam wall overflow. And it's been so much fun that the posts have gained momentum like a river and seem to be really making the rounds between the blogs. It all started at Kays place, a post called 'Ten things I'd like my unborn child(ren) to know'.

And a simple tag of a few names led to more of that. It's amazing what a list of things you might say to offspring can bring out the best and the worst in a person :P
Okay mostly the best.
As this little flow of words most certainly did.

Check out the stream:
In no particular order...

Hasina_S did her own review of the works and added to the fun with Womb with a View in her own eclectic and awesome style :)

If I have ommitted anyone or there are still more to come, please leave a comment at this post. I think most had fun doing this, Even those that Grrr'd at the tag ;)

Thanks Kay! This was fun. Energies were shared across the veld in a veritable Fire. And like i said, its amazing what comes of a simple ten :)

Much Love,
S

kudos to kay. i loved reading everyones tags..ok, admittedly, i havent read them all, but i'm slowly making my way through them. it was a brilliant idea - like i said on my blog, it would be interesting to see where we're at in 20 yrs time!

Glad you, too, had fun!

I'm going to attempt to collate everyone's tags and keep it for future reference.

Will be fun to have a look at it in a few years :)

Fatima... When you have your first baby Im gna send this to you as a reminder :P

Nafisa said...

Fatima - cool idea. Cool advice from cool bloggers.

Ok, I've reached my daily limit of the word cool.

I don't remember something spreading like that for a looonnggg time...

sof said...

kimya, when you get to the age you thought youd be a mother of 4 you slowly realise if it ever happens, it wont happen soon..so 20 years is like a huge safety net!
