Citizen Journalista goes half dark
Dear Reader,
Jane Q from Citizen Journalista here. Thanks so much for reading this blog!
While I’m developing this blog in ways that can’t be explored live on the web, I won’t be adding new blog content for a while. New paid writing gigs and a boatload of clients (both good things!) mean I have to draw some lines in the sand regarding my time management, and something has to go.
However, you can still consider my Twitter feed in the left center column as an ongoing live news feed as I parse through local/regional news to find things of interest to Islanders. So stay tuned for that, and if you like, follow me at CitizenJBI to receive my tweets directly in your own Twitter client feed.
And please, send me your info if you find something of interest to Bainbridge Islanders that I could tweet about: cjbi@myway.com. It could be general news, calendar information, city hall oversight, or special interest features you think our community would be interested in. I can’t guarantee I’ll tweet about everything that comes my way, but I’ll certainly do the best that I can!
Thanks for your support. I will be back (eventually) in full uniform as Citizen Journalista; I appreciate your patience while I’m away.

About Citizen Journalista
This selection from Dr. Kent M. Keith pretty much sums things up. Hopelessly human as I am, I still try to live up to these ideals everyday.
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
