At times when I am working on a piece of writing I find myself casting about for just the write word to communicate what I want to say.  Sometimes it feels as if I have reached and actual physical impass. An obstacle over which I must clambor.

One of the strategies I use is to reach back into time and bring forward a more primative word. I find I use greek and latin with equal frequency. But, on the occaision that I need to communicate the essence of a particularly powerful feeling or a concept steeped in emotion, nothing so strikes the mark as the Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon.

bazah = dispised

chdal = rejected

mak’obot = severe pain

choli = injuries

daka = utterly crushed

‘awon = moral evils

musar = discipline/correction

rapa’ = mend/cure

derakim = directions

tame’ = leagal impurity/unclean

Have you reached the point where you are touted as much for you blogging expertise as you are for you authority in your chosen field?

If so, you may be eligible to be anointed as a Grand and Illustrious “Bloguru.” Pronounced “blah gew rew.” Hey, I made up the title, I can pronounce it any way I want.

Here is a short list of those who have been granted Bloguru status.

Bloguru Ted Demopoulos ( of http://bloggingforbusinessbook.com) works to achieve seamless blends between business and blogging. These days he probably gets as many calls for blogging support as he does business support.

Bloguru Phil Gerbyshak (of www.Makeitgreat.typepad.com) is a personal development consultant as well as an author and blog publisher. The thing that makes Phil different from others is he doesn’t just talk about helping, he actually does it. Phil has provided me with some great help and he will do the same for you.

Bloguru Rosa Say (of www.sayleadershipcoaching.com) is a dynamic leadership coach. She takes great care infuse her work with the core values of community so closely associated with the Aloha culture she so skillfully shares.

Although, by no means an exhaustive list these are three of the Blogurus who have been most influential in nudging me along the path I’m striving to follow on Elemental Truths.
