Writing for me and Mom in December
Since October didn’t quite go as planned, and I need something to keep my brain busy, I am going to try and write again every day in December. I do have all kinds of things going on, but I need something that will keep me distracted, if that makes sense. It is a busy month…

October Journal Challenge: What is failure?
I had plans for this month. More or less. It had been my intention to write every day this month. I had an outline of what I was going to write about each and every day – a small prompting idea to keep on task and focused, something to share, not always a big idea,…

October Journal Challenge: Happiest Moment of the Day
One of my yoga teachers says things that happen have no traction if you don’t give them a story. Boys and girls, today was all about ‘things that happen’ and as much as I didn’t want to give them a story, some days, you need to succumb to the story… It all started yesterday. If…

October Journal Challenge: Opportunities ahead for me
What do I see ahead for me? I think it depends on the context and I am a big believer in worrying about jinxing myself! Lots of people believe we can manifest things.

Day 6: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven artists
Day six is exciting for me! Eleven artists for whom we are grateful. Now, specifically, when she was speaking on the challenge, she was listing musicians, but for me, personally, it is broader than that. Art is all encompassing, while music most certainly is an immense and vast part of my life, there are definitely…

Day 4: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven things
I am caught up now! Today is eleven things you are grateful for that we maybe take for granted and this one was EASY. Things started flooding to me. Why? Maybe because I spent some time in my childhood without some of our modern conveniences… Sometimes, it is the simple things in life. Unsure what…

Day 3: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – eleven local businesses
For day three, the prompt was to express gratitude and name eleven businesses, and bonus was to write Google Reviews for three of them. As it happens, I wrote two reviews already in the past couple months for two of the companies I worked with on the recent renovation to our home. These businesses are…
