Carpe Diem Today?

Great analysis and delivery. I like how you developed the idea of time from personal experience and then related it to a broader question about society. What happened to all the time that modern time saving devices were supposed to give us?

On a completely different note, I love the phrase Carpe Diem, too. It's a great phrase but one of the minor reasons why I like it is because it reminds me of the phrase Carpe Noche, which was the slogan for my high school chess team. And I have just revealed more nerdiness than I bet you wanted to know...

Great topic, great voice.
I've thought about this from time to time, and what to do.
But then the day gets in the way.
Definitely looking forward to more topics from your insightful imagination.

Jennifer, you are so right when you tell us that we all need to maybe stop and seize the day.
I was captured by you, what you had to say, and the wonderful sound effects that you chose!

I have listened to this several times and each time have been more than impressed with the quality of the presentation, this coupled with a thought provoking topic makes Jennifer, in by view, a natural presenter. More please. . . .?

I have just revisited this site having had time to think about this entry. It has made me realise that how I live my life TODAY is important. Life is very short and we must ALL make the most of the time and chances we have. Jennifer is clearly a "thinker" with a good "radio voice" and it would be nice to hear more from her.

this morning...how indeed Carpe Diem seems like a phrase for another world someone else's reality when you enter the real world...but how much of your real world is shaped by you and your allowances. Absolutely good conversation piece.
Good luck to you!

The commentary was a beautiful summary of the American life - how our daily routine gets in the way of pursuing what is true to us.

I viewed this a week or so ago and I have since found myself applying 'Carpe Diem' to my every day life. Thank you for such thought provoking comment which can change our lives for the better. After all, we only get one 'go' at life on earth and we must make the most of every second!

I enjoyed your thoughts on this and appreciate that you gave us contrast.

Definitely thought provoking and I loved your voice,you should certainly give us more.

I really want to hear more about this. Seamless delivery, engaging voice, excellent writing, thought provoking topic. Very, very professional, and a natural host. More please!!

most of the time I'm to busy at work, or thinking about the work I have to do when I get home. I guess I'm one of the over employed.

And a fine resume, too - I hope you get to round 2. You deserve it.

Please drop by!

A topical viewpoint to make one think from a lady with a voice that is as smooth as silk!

A thought provoking essay from a smooth and trustworthy voice that will make us all think a little bit more about how we use our time.

Such a pleasant voice, and your essay was showing that you actually think about things. But I am left wondering about all the other elements of hostiness that we didn't have time to experience.

Ultimately the paradoxes of life make fools of us all. So if we would be wise we should study life's paradoxes and confront our abject foolishness head on.
