Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

This is the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.

Founded by Lizzi

Hosted by Dyanne

Co-hosted by Pat and Lisa (and Mimi)

The premise (of the theme (of the bloghop)) is simple: relate ten (or more (or less)) people, places, things, events and occurrences, real and imagined, remembered and/or dreamed-of that elicit the feeling/experience/state-of-mind/resonance-of-spirit or your everyday echo from a time in the past, (or, even, the future), commonly referred to as gratitude.*

1) Phyllis ——————–↓

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) serial-writing  (currently) ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf‘ and ‘the Whitechapel Interlude‘

5) Beatles’ songs and, (both inherent and intrinsic), their ability to transport the listener back in time (emotional if not chronological time). Hey! There’s a hook for a future story… the whole emotional whiplash we all (most of us) experience, from time to time, (if we’re lucky), upon hearing certain songs. (errr then again, might be a bit of a horror story, now that I think of it.)

6) the Six Sentence Story  thanks to Denise and Ford for contributing such wicked-good walk-on stories to the Whitechapel Interlude.

7) the 20 Minute Real Estate Briefing. We had such a good time with our interview with the manager of our branch office, that we’re next going to have a top home-financing professional as a guest sometime in the next couple of weeks.

8) THIS SPACE AVAILABLE. If you have a hankering to participate in this here bloghop here but don’t feel you have a sufficient number of Grat Items, send it in as a comment. Be sure to cite the Rule from the BoSR/SBoR that applies and we’ll totally post it right here, at Number Eight.

9) something, something 

10) SR. 1.3 (from the Book of Secret Rules, aka the Secret Book of Rules) in brevitae, ‘If you can write it, you can use it…’ quid pro quote, y’all.
