A time in a Season ... Introducing Giving Back Blog Project



Many months ago while reading the book, "A Field Guide for the Hero's Journey, I embarked on a project that would put my abilities and self assurance to their limits. 

Life presented and opportunity and I boldly went forward with much tenacity. All to come to a crescendo where I loudly declared with all my heart, I want to, need to find a way to give back to others, but how do I do that.

I did it by first asking questions and not being afraid to ask for what I wanted.  Second I did not limit myself.  I refused to let anything including language get in the way of making a difference.  I crossed the boundaries of language through google translator, learned on the fly how with word press how to develop a website, found resources and learning in places I didn't think possible.

It doesn't matter how we make connections, only that they happen. 

What motivates you to live, breath and get up in the morning with a smile on your face.  Is it the satisfaction of helping others, or doing what you love – your passion.  This page is dedicated to the passions that are blazed on the trail of mediocrity and crescendo to a dedicated life’s work

No longer am I bound by the uncertainty of mediocrity but have stepped onto the threshold of pure bliss, passion, finding my voice that seeks only to help others succeed.

A road or path has presented itself and I gladly followed it with all the exuberance that I can personally create.  Let the adventure begin and I hope that with the same ounce of passion that I have, you will follow me and like a peanut butter jelly jam sandwich spread the word. 

My life long goal is to find a ways to give back and provide opportunities where time, resources and virtual worlds collide to create a synergy of hope, love, passion for what we do and always understanding and tolerance.

The pages that follow will  introduce  talented artists, artisans their works and people who have found a true calling.



If you have a project or discipline you would like me to feature on my blog page, please feel free to email me at melange@mlaenterprisesllc.com and we can work together to build an opportunity for your success.

Unsung Exraordinary Hero - It's never to late to find your purpose and live your dreams

Ageism, what is it anyway?  I had not heard that term until recently.  I would have to say that age is not a criteria for being an Unsung Hero. In fact there is no age limit to heroism.  We all can step through the door and create a life of meaning regardless of our age, status, education or creed.  You are never to old to make a difference now.  We all can learn from each other.   Let me introduce our shooting star and unsung hero Garrett Hardy, who defies ageism, with heart, intellect, drive and passion  is hot on the trail of manifesting his life's purpose. Garrett's innovative problems solving thought process, with the culmination of a dynamic team are on the path to solve a serious problem.  This change is critical to the landscape and climate of Mental Health Awareness and care. With limited resources available for mental wellness something has to be done.   The system of care is expensive and slow, leaving loved ones to suffer in silence. People innately want to help o

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - Glenn Marsden putting life and heart into Mental Health

The definition of a HERO based on author, J eff Sanderfer is someone who shapes events, who acts rather than watches, who is creative and brave."(1). When I think of an Unsung Extraordinary Hero, I think of the creator and director behind the highly acclaimed Imperfectly Perfect Campaign. This man epitomizes  action, shaping culture - social values, creativity and innovation in his approach to put life and heart into Mental Health. As I sit pensively waiting for that moment to connect with none other than Yorkshire born, Glenn Marsden, I explore the world of Imperfectly Perfect Campaign.org.  When you launch the web  page, o ne is immediately intrigued by the stories and pictures that resonate a truth.   Instantly you see unfiltered real photographs of influential public figures. The faces bear the grief and hardship of mental illness. These people live amongst us with voices that are neither yelling or screaming but talking, rather frankly and poignantly about their battle. We ar

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - A Journey to Fulfilling a Calling to Be a Voice

In the wake of current life situations with COVID-19 Pandemic the word HERO only synonymous with comic books has become a household word. We are in a time and place where we desperately need the visibility and creation of heros, heroines, people who are heroic.  From a college course book in one of my business classes, the definition in this time and space is certainly appropriate. In the introduction, Jeff Sanderfer said, " heroic people - people who shape events, who act rather than watch, who are creative and brave."(1.) This is a moment to ask yourself the hard questions that often we ignore or pass over.  What is the journey or path to becoming a #HERO.  Is it at the root of what we have done most of our life, or did we receive an experience due to external influences or was there a singular internal event that changes our lives.   Perhaps it is best described as a calling or as I read recently a VOCATION, which in latin VOCARE means "to call." Did you come to
