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 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 yo...
