About ME

Hello,  This blog is previously run by Jingle, now I blog here as Aya Wilson or Kora-Leah Finchol Wilson, from Italy, posts from 2009 to August, 2011 belong to Jingle herself, posts starting from February, 2012 to …..will belong to Aya Wilson… I am busy with my studies, sorry for being unable to separate everything…I don’t post often here, but will work to make things clear to all of you.

Hello, Welcome to my WordPress page, my name is Ji, my pen name is Jingle,  I live in the United States of America and enjoy reading, traveling, and writing. I plan to share some of the insights I have gained in my life span and hope that you join me for the journey of adventures, humors, and surprises. My purpose is not to showcase the downside of everyday living, but to take efforts in figuring out how we can have a better life than what we have now, and why we shall never give up hopes and keep course sailing!

It does not matter who you are and where you come from, we connect with each other via our shared interests or values and seek answers to our wonders, problems, and struggles in a universal sense!

English is not my first language, thus I appreciate your tolerance!

    1. Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting on my recent poem. You are my first new connection I have made on that blog which I had been thinking about taking down since I have another one I keep for the mentoring I do regarding hearing loss. I have since decided that I will continue to try to keep up both.
      You have a very interesting blog and I look forward to looking it over more thoroughly. Nice to meet you.

  5. Hi Jingle, I’ve had a good week-end and continue to check in. I see that you’re experimenting with themes!

    Wow. The lime green is *intense*. I have to say, it makes it hard to read the text!

    I hope your week-end went well.

  12. I agree wholeheartidly with you Ji, and this is refreshing, sometimes I have to write sad poems because I write about everything and in life not all is rosy for everyone, particularly the disadvantaged of this world my fight is for them, your work is honest and real and I enjoy it…
    perhaps u could post a picture of yourself for us to know the person behind the work..?

  14. You are enigmatic, dear Jingle. I think you might enjoy “Twisters” on Twitter. Maybe you are already familiar with them? They are short stories – maximum 140 characters! Lots of fun to write. You can see some examples from me @imagicaitlyn. Another clever “Twister” is @twae.

    I hope you are reading my blog regularly. I think there are some similarities in our take on the world.

  28. Jingle:
    You spread sunshine
    In a world where
    Storms brew.

    You see life
    In places where
    Others thought nothing grew

    You bring joy
    To people where
    Others look to gain

    You ignore hatred,
    Pessimism,
    Never inflicting pain

    Thank you for helping
    All those in
    Need

    The simple smile
    That you bring
    Is a truly good deed.

      1. Dear Jingle,
        Thank you, your words are so kind, and you’re heart must be kinder still to take the time to write them.
        The poem and notes are simply honest feelings, I cannot do anything but write them down!
        Please, keep your blog for as long as you can, for it brings happiness to so many people! The world is so blind as it is, a blog with random, happy posts brightening every day is a special and rare thing – something to hold onto!
        So, I thank you again, and congratulate you on this talent!

      Thank you.

      It’s true ours words
      Act as inspiration
      and motivation,
      to spur the other on
      In the eternal quest
      for world happiness
      love, and peace

      The world is large,
      We are but small scatters
      Of the sunshine’s rays
      But our quest leaves
      Footprints,
      Upon the sands of time.

      And so, hope others
      Take joy in our
      Endeavour
      To create a small piece
      Of happiness
      Forever.

      Continue carrying the sunshine in your heart, with your own masterful words, and fly amongst the stars with the gratitude I send you for doing so.

    Surely there is a mirror
    Seperating us two,
    For I reflect back
    The feelings you
    Write to me
    in pretty verse
    and I feel equally
    about the curse
    and gift that we
    have both found:
    Never can we separate
    Our unique bond
    without losing spirit,
    For of you, I’m fond.

    Again, you’re poem is brilliant and words delicate yet true!
    Thank you!

    —

    If your days are dark and dreary
    and your mind is growing weary
    of the never ending bleary
    battle with a day that swallows
    all the light in darkling hollows
    gathering around the sky and
    underneath your door, there’s
    a place where fun and laughter
    shine from each and every rafter,
    sparking, marking, light across
    a never ending floor, and its
    sparkling feel amazes, splashing
    joy that brims and blazes, willing, all
    to cheer and clap with happiness galore.

    From the wondrous pen of jingle
    emanates a love that tingles through
    all the pages’ walls and is a store
    of generosity unbounded reaching out
    open-handed across the vasty beach
    of WordPress’ shimmering shore.

    – jingle, your kindness unifies us evermore!

      1. It is such a deep honor to write this for you. In my life I have been lucky to have met people, in different places, different countries, who are imbued with grace, wisdom, humility and a deep belief that helping others sets up ripples that spread out from those who are touched by kindness of heart and mind and that they in turn pay it forward. I am sure we all try to take each day as it comes and, for better or worse, make the very best of it.
        In your modesty and humility of stance. and in the joy that you display to everyone you encounter, you are a very special person indeed. I am so glad I am able to write a poem for you. It is a poem filled with love and joy – for you, dear jingle.

Unfortunately that can play a major role in whether you’re accepted or not, but fortunately I have found nothing but luv in this community! So happy about that! I look forward to continuing to share with you and others…and continuing to learn from you and others.

  118. hi
    Thanks for your visit.
    But I have to ask you something, you probably are going to think I’m an idiot but I don’t really understand the award-thing. And I’m so ashamed of it. Because it must be nice to get awards from other people. I hope you can explain it to me.

    Greets!

  134. Hi! I wanted to stop by and let you know that I appreciate all the work you do to bring online poets together. You mentioned my blog a couple months ago in the Thurs rally and I received so much traffic, plus I received some lovely awards from you. I’m really sorry that I don’t always have the time to dedicate toward supporting your efforts. I really wish I did. You’re a great poet and networker. I don’t want you to think I’ve ignored your posts on my own blog so I wanted to drop this note to you. Take care – Alejandra (http://www.redpetals04.wordpress.com/)

You might think you’re not at all an innovative person, but which is not correct. We all have creative imagination in us somewhere; it is exactly what makes us human.

  178. Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  187. Greetings Jingle,
    I guess this will be a first introduction. I often see the name Jingle attached to comments as I read other blogs. I often see the name Jingle attached to badges announcing Jingle Poetry and see the name Jingle listed on blogrolls.
    Please pardon my rattling on, but I’m a curious soul and wanted to say Hello before I do some reading and commenting on your blog.
    I mostly write my own personal Huck Finn type memories and dabble with poetry. (although ~oddly~ I post my poetry on other blogs and not my own) I’m very much the beginner with writing anything, but so far WordPress folks seem to greatly approve.
    Thanks for providing the space for my rambling on…….Best Regards! 🙂

  198. Hi Ji
    I just wanted to come over and say thank you.I have written rhymes since I was a child, silly little on the moment ditties really,often nonsensical. One grows up and life intervenes and we find less and less time to do these spurious things that make us happy even if we’re no good at them.

    Its only after you started regularly visiting my blog and encouraging (dare I say pestering!) me to join the poetry competitions,that I seriously began writing.I’ve since seen a steady increase in both quality and output of my poems:things come to me in the middle of the night now,and I think “oh!must write that down!” and reach for the pad by the bedside.Before I’d have just turned over and let it be lost in the world of sleep. So thank you,because you have opened my mine and let my creative juices flow,I appreciate it more than you can know!

  230. Aya, this morning I read your poem, and its beauty reminded me of what I write for my wife, and what i write for the Lord. You words were beautifully crafted and such a pure delight to read. Then as I clicked on I saw that you had read several of my poems and you touched me my sister. It was a blessing that lifted me…I have spent the last 4 days in pain because of a neck injury that i suffered in the Air Force some time ago, I moved the wrong way I think, and yet this morning like a healing tonic your self-less words made me forget the pain. Your poem is truly beautiful and a timeless piece. You share because of your self-less spirit, and I do the same but you do touch many who follow you, as your words made the morning better, thanks for reading my poems and thank you also for sharing yours! God bless you and your husband and family!!!!
