Alphabet Soup: Part 3
“For, beloved ones, in speaking and in writing, we must have an army–an army that counts each and every one of you and your children as a part of that force that can [and will] communicate the Word...
Learn Speaking Skills from an Expert
This March, our guest speaker was Carol Brenner, who shared powerful techniques on public speaking and debuted her professional 8-minute speaker reel, created as part of her certification from The Big Talk Academy in New York City.
The ABCs of Rule-Bending
English has always been one of my favourite subjects—the art of weaving words to make an object feel tangible, to breathe life into it with description. Losing myself in a book feels like stepping through a portal, transported to another world where reality fades, and imagination takes flight.
How to Spell Almost Everything
In this series of blogs, Writing Woes, I will share with you some amusing insights on the mistakes people inadvertently make when writing, based on my work as a professional tutor and as a writer for Summit University. (You can visit my tutoring website here: https://lynnthetutor.com)
TSL is looking for an Editor or Proof Reader
A usual career path to becoming an editor is to take a course in copy editing, then you start working on proof reading. If you do well there, you graduate to copy editing. If you do well there, you can graduate to developmental editing.

This means that the original creators of products and anyone they give authorization to are the only ones with the exclusive right to reproduce the work.

I speak of the lineage of the initiates of Mercury—those who have fashioned their skill by the sword and the pen, those who have acquainted themselves with the mind of God and have claimed that mind, who have come from a lineage that antedates myself.

There are those whom I myself have trained under my mantle as God Mercury. We who bear the shield and the armour of the Sun must therefore go up and down the nations of the earth and call out those who have the original communication skills, who practiced those skills in ancient times and on ancient continents and are willing to once again take the lead in the dissemination of the Truth and in exposing error.
