I’ve been struggling for a few weeks about gratitude and sadness. When I practice gratitude, I also feel a nice side helping of sadness right along with it. I had a friend tell me that was a little odd and we laughed about it. But it really doesn’t feel right. I was reflecting a bit […]

“Any regrets though?” “None… I’m not being a footnote.” “A footnote?” “Yeah. In the story of your life.” I heard from at least three people that One Day was a sob story. And.. I just felt in the mood to sob. So I knew what I was getting in to. Then, 10 episodes in, I […]

I was quickly making a fruit salad for a party I was attending. I’m not satisfied with just buying the fruit salad from the store. Well. Sometimes that is perfectly fine. However, for family, it’s always better to take an extra 8 minutes and elevate it up and make it a bit more special. So […]

I had to go exploring for resolutions in my older posts. I’ve never been a big resolution person but it’s always fun to take a quick trip down memory lane and 2007 made me laugh and sigh. How far I haven’t come? Be nicer, make the world better, be a better mother, spend time with […]

Sunday night and forcing myself to do this… Not really FORCING, I suppose… It’s like medicine… It’s going to be good for me. Anyway. Random.org called 44 so here we are… Santa is real and he’s stuck in your chimney. https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/holiday/page/3/ “Are you stuck?” I called out, as I got on my knees trying to […]

Holiday writing prompts from Reedsy. Random.org number generator said 36. And… 25m on my timer… go! It’s the night before Christmas. You are a stirring mouse in an otherwise totally quiet house. https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/holiday/page/2/ I crept out of my cozy cocoon that was made with fuzzy sweaters and lint. I headed to the small hole in […]

I wanted to do something a bit more creative today. I’m already hating it but that’s okay… I searched out creative writing prompts, surfed through a few and realized I would need something to force me to just write. So I ended up with a list of 23 Thanksgiving prompts because the topic seemed appropriate […]

Number generator said 20… and it’s a back to school memory! I guess we are close to that time frame…? I need to find a better, more timely weekly prompt. How about you? What are your back-to-school memories? Tell us about one. Your memory can be your own, or one from watching your child go to […]

As I was sifting throughs some of my older blog posts – for whatever reason – I found a link to an old PromptTuesday and it made me nostalgic. Writing is so difficult and challenging yet it’s fun, helps my brain, and I love it. I hate reading what I write but I like writing. […]

Suzanne Somers was an admired person in our household. My Mom followed her and read all her books. I think I read one of her books. She passed a few days ago and her husband’s love letter to her in her final hours has been everywhere. I ended up clicking some article to read it […]

Yes, I am competitive. In this case, with myself? So… That’s okay. Right? Right. It would be so lovely to know multiple languages. I greatly admire people who can speak in multiple languages. It is an amazing skill and so incredibly hard to do. I started with Duolingo back… well, 600 days ago at least! […]

This was a fun one. I’m trying to remember the last moment where I completely lost track of time in the best way possible. I can think of easy times with friends, absolutely. This exercise was thinking about the theme of being so involved in a sport, game, book, or some kind of project though. […]

I have two games that I sort of play obsessively. It’s a quick 5 minute break when I’m anxious, bored, or need a break. Which is… sadly too much of the time! One of the games is Spider. Two suits, it’s a mindless game to find the sequence and it’s super satisfying. Because EVERY SINGLE […]
