A Penny For Your Thoughts #1 (quote from Little Gidding by T.S. Eliot)

-

Words touch us all in different ways. Sometimes the original intent of a quote resonates so profoundly with us that it is hard to believe that another wrote it. Other times it is a single word, peculiar phrasing, or an alternative meaning regarding an event in our lives that resonates the most. I believe in the power of starting the day (and week) off with a positive thought -- and so was created A Penny For Your Thoughts. This is a weekly blog hop that will feature quotes of all kinds; classics, character, book-movie, personal, etc. The themes will range from funny to serious, but really it all depends on how you interpret it! How does this work?
  1. Every Sunday a quote will be posted
  2. Post your thoughts on your blog and/or the comment section
  3. Join up on the Linky and visit other bloggers - Linky will not be active until day of post
  4. Collect the pennies! Every week there will be a new penny to collect and include with your post. Some are worth one entry, others are worth two entries.
  5. In order to keep track of entries easily, please submit your posts to this form as well so that they can be uploaded to a raffle generator. This form will remain open so that you can submit links whenever you get the chance (e.g., before they go live). 
  6. On the last Saturday of every month the entries from the form above (not Linky) will be entered in a drawing. You get as many entries as you have pennies for the month. Prizes will include books, gift cards, site promotion, and other bookish winnings!
  7. Have fun! Please re-post these steps so that followers understand the process.


My thoughts...
Every day should be a day of progress be it personal or professional. Change will happen and you can't run from it. Learn from your past to help you in the future, but don't burn your bridges just because those days are gone. 

 Collect the Cheers to the New Year penny! (Worth 2 entries!)

Next week's quote:
"Friendship is born at that moment when one man says
to another: What! You to? I thought that no one but myself..."
- C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

    I love the quote you posted, it is imperative that we embrace change with an open heart, we may not like it, but like you mentioned, change is something we cannot escape from.

    Great feature! I think I will be participating in this one! Looking forward to Sunday! :D

      I've just discovered T.S. Eliot and all of his work is very thought provoking. I love it!

Author Khaled Talib discusses development of his newest thriller "Gun Kiss"

Today we're welcoming author Khaled Talib to The Book Cove. He's the author of three novels -- the most recent titled Gun Kiss  was published December 2017 and has received rave reviews. TBC: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from?  KT: I was born and raised in Singapore. I've been writing since I was a kid. Although I did attain some recognition, I never realized my full potential until much later. My little voice, once lost, kept pressing me on. To date, I've authored three novels. I am self-taught, never once having the opportunity to attend a workshop or a school to learn the craft. Along the route, I experienced agony and ecstasy. I ended up being a magazine writer before switching to the field of public relations. It also involved some form of writing though different from fiction. I find myself more interested in writing fiction as it allows my imagination to thrive in more ways than one. It's like baking a cake, you know; there are many

I'm a little late on my FF post this week as I've been in and out of town and busy with work. Actually...I'm procrastinating on writing a paper right now with this post ;-) What is a Feature and Follow? (Courtesy of Parajunkee): The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate
