Perservering

 Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your small acts.  This is the secret of success. 

Swami Sivenanda

I have been consumed by a small act .  I have, months ago, started putting some books together related to what I was doing in my little job.  Though none of them are ready to send out yet, two are basically done and one is turning into a bigger project than I planned. I have in my mind how I want this book to go.  It is intended as a comprehensive guide to mastering English through phonemic awareness. My target readership is the Newcomers coming to this  country, those who are at present transitional or Fluent readers.  I noticed how many newcomers have a good grasp of site recognition through memorization when it comes to English but lack the phonetic component.  This makes spelling and writing challenging. I truly believe that phonemic awareness will break many of those langauge barriers down for them, making this major transition into the Canadian culture somewhat easier. So this book started coming out of me...partly to help them but also to help myself.  I learned, as an English speaker,  so much from my experience this year and from my writing. I learned how I could assit others in a tutor/teacher role as well. I wanted to have this thing I started in March done last week but I keep adding to it. Man, it turned into more than a small act. lol. Anyway, I will perserveer.  I have two people in mind that I will send the unpublished version to, before I decide if  or how I should publish it for the general public.  I believe it could be very helpful to them.  And it is my greatest intention...to be helpful. Success will be measured by how helpful this small thing I am working on will be helpful to others.  So I focus on that and keep working on it. I watch the world entropy and crumble around me as I do lol. 

All is well.
