2022-06-16 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 13: Changing the Answer ✍🏻

As I near the end of this two-week writing experiment I recognize that much of what I have written (the new stuff anyway) has been blog posts. In the beginning, I had this blog down as an option if I got stuck or didn’t want to work on some other project on my list. But…
2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12:Part Two ✍️

This is really just a continuation of what came before. Something of the fleeting notion of free writing, and channeling the spirit of a young girl who teetered between not having a care in the world and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. For her, the world in 1984 consisted of a…
2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12: Just a Girl and Her Notebook ✍🏻

Today’s craft talk newsletter was inspiring. The guest writer waxed on about another writer who wrote with joy for writing and, as it seems, a zest for life itself. Its aim was to remind us that we sometimes have to get away from the notion that writing is grueling work. Let’s be honest, it can…

2022-06-09 #1000WordsOfSummer Days 4,5,&6 ✍️

Hello Dear Friends. I’ve had many thoughts these past few days, both while shuffling through my regular routine and also enjoying changing that routine to fit in some extra craft time. I think I said it before.. that this #1000WordsOfSummer challenge isn’t really about the word count for me. It’s mostly about that change in…
2022-06-06 #1000WordsOfSummer Days 2&3✍️

Let us be grateful today that it is not 2006, for that would be the sign of the Devil and probably nothing good would get done. Probably. Here’s a brief recap of this #1000WordsOfSummer so far: Day 0: I wrote a plan for the two-week endeavor. It’s a good plan and includes a list of…
2022-06-04 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 1: Today is a Good Day to Start ✍️

Today is the first day of my two-week writing challenge, and as it is with all new projects, I’m enthusiastic and positive. I love to start new projects. I’ve always been a starter. Starting new things is exciting and fun. So much so, that for many years of my life that title phrase, “Today is…
2022-06-03 Fixing My Writing Woes with (yet another) Writing Commitment… ✍️

These last few weeks I’ve started writing about four different blog posts. And shortly after, quit and closed the document. Four paragraphs on school shootings and gun violence in America. Three paragraphs about the family gathering/grad party we had at our house last Saturday. Two paragraphs about spraining my foot and how that’s changed my…
2022-05-24 Stacation Sensation…

Last week I was on Stacation all week as most of the household was away on vacation. I’m not gonna lie.. it was glorious. The first half of the week was crazy-busy and after that took a few more days to wind down, but I did end up finding a good balance with work and…
2022-05-21 Sharing the Wheel with the Universe

Lately when I mount my elliptical machine I’ve also got my fingers poised to press play on my new, totally binge-worthy show, A million little things. However, most days are a struggle to get it to play. Blame the cloud, the internet speed, my outdated iPad, or the mesh wifi I paid a pretty penny…
2022-05-17 Just One Thing, But a Big One…

How can it possibly be Tuesday again already? The past week has flown by and I can’t help but hope that time can slow down a little this week because, as of yesterday, I’m officially on Staycation. Jim and his boys left for vacation yesterday and so it is just me and my two peeps…
