My hero, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, I would bet 8,800 writers and 88,000 were beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. But I can guarantee the mastermind who conceived, designed, and wrote the short, mid and long-term plans for his first publication baby, knew all the scenarios.
I’m honoured to be listed as one of the first eighty writers who jumped aboard ILLUMINATION.
You might have noticed the number 8 features too much in this story to be ignored. Here’s a little information about the number 8 from Wikipedia.
the atomic number of oxygen is 8
when an 8 is illuminated, all the display bulbs are on.
the sound of 8 sounds like the word for wealth in Chinese
All three are important elements of ILLUMINATION. The wealth in the third part, I consider the wealth of the core values the founder based his publication on.
His life skills stood him in excellent stead to create a novel publication. To grow. To celebrate milestones reached. To share his vision of serendipity, diversity, fusion, synergy.
Joe Luca explains Serendipity in his inimitable style.
Babies grow and change at an astounding pace, and every month brings new and exciting developments.
I agree with Gina Shaw. The first year brought us new and exciting developments.
The CDC: Toddlers (1–2 years of age) tells us what to expect in our second year of life.
we’ll move around more
be aware of ourselves and our surroundings
our desire to explore new objects and people continues to increase
we’ll show greater independence
show defiant behavior
recognize ourselves in pictures or a mirror
imitate the behavior of others, especially adults and older children.
We all develop at different times. Some of us smashed those milestones last year, others maybe this year. Life and the life of ILLUMINATION is a journey to, dare I say, illumination.
Dr, I expect your plan for your writers includes how to deal with the above developmental stages.
Praise where praise is due
In my usual style, I woke up with a song buzzing in my head. We’ve come a long, long way together. We have. All of us who are part of this exceptional publication baby.
In honour of Dr Mehmet’s incredible feats with his novel publications during an exceptional year in our lifetimes, I’d like to say:
Lyrics
We’ve come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you baby
I have to praise you as I should
We’ve come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you baby
I have to praise you as I should
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you as I should
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
We’ve come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate you baby
I have to praise you as I should
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you
I have to praise you as I should
I have to praise you for all that you envisioned and enacted to birth and nurture ILLUMINATION.
All that you did to keep the lights on and support, encourage and spur writers onto greater achievements.
Praise for your plans for this year and next. I know you have them already projected and scheduled.
I, for one, am so grateful you included, guided, and benefitted 8,800 of us writers. You showed us the way, Dr Your way is a surefire way to learn, grow, and succeed.
The illuminated doorway shows the way into a world of serendipity, diversity, fusion, and synergy. Welcome, come right on in.
Praise You credits: Songwriters: Camille D. Yarbrough / Norman Cook
