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. […]

Happy National Daughters Day!

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 […]

It’s so fun when my daily meditation with Jeff Warren hits all my feels. This morning (35 day streak when I started writing this, and now 42, woot!) it was all about having the RIGHT attitude. Accept what is here and now. It’s right because it’s happening right now. It is what it is. Yes, […]

I’m imagining you went down a back-alley street in the slums of Europe. Some creepy guy walked up to you and said for $1,600 (inflation!) you could get a fake passport. You decided that was a good idea and went to a local ATM around the corner. You met back up… he took your picture. […]

I was doing some clean-up on my phone and ran into my “words” for 2023. The last few years I have not done New Year’s resolutions, per se, but more of words to live by. The note I discovered was brainstorming different words and explanations of what I wanted to focus on for the year. […]
