OK… I’m getting toward the end of this writing challenge, and some of the prompts are feeling repetitive. I guess that’s good, since that means I’ve given thought to many of the deeper issues they’re probing? (Dealing with many health issues will do that to you.) Here’s the prompt from yesterday: (tuesday 14 june) Do [...]

Right. Two more writing prompts to respond to… (No excuses other than caught up in work and hosting two groups of people for dinner this weekend… boy, were they tasty! I think as the prompts get more challenging for me, I try to avoid writing… well, DUH!) On a more crazy note: Saturday was our [...]

Urgh. Not only am I a day behind on writing prompts, but I slacked on my Recipe Friday promise to you! It’s all for good reasons, I tell you: I’m still dealing with the aftermath of business growth, and I’m working through some offers to teach Pilates at a few locations, not to mention hosting [...]

I write a LOT. My goal is brevity, today. Anyway, here goes with today’s prompt: To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius. – Ralph Waldo Emerson What is burning deep inside of you? If you could spread [...]

I’m finding myself grouping these writing challenges together, so I don’t bombard you with two posts in a day… unless bombardment’s your style… Which means you get bombarded with two writing challenge prompts at once. Again, if you’re just joining, this is part of the Trust30 Writing Challenge, 30 days worth of writing prompts inspiring [...]

Hidey Ho! (happy birthday, blog!) OK, back to the writing challenge again. I’ll tackle today’s, first. The prompt is lengthy, and it talks about the kinds of risks we might take if we stopped thinking rationally for just a moment… (monday 6 june) Our arts, our occupations, our marriages, our religion, we have not chosen, [...]

Ack! Give me my dunce cap. I posted my yummy salad yesterday, but didn’t post anything regarding the writing challenge. Mea culpa. I’ve been in the middle of last-minute interviewing and hiring a new contractor for the business who starts teaching on Monday, and I got a surprise (which is super-secret for now!) while I [...]

Hey, folks! First, an update on me: I’ve had two physical therapy sessions post-hip surgery (surgery date: 28 Feb) and I’ve made incredible improvement! I’m doing one leg balancing, a bit of one-legged squatting, walking lunges–all sorts of stuff that I couldn’t dream of doing two weeks ago! I’m thrilled! (This will definitely help my [...]

Hi! Today’s writing prompt is short, yet I’ve still given it a lot of thought. It reads: Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance If ‘the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag [...]

Hey everybody! I’m back and refreshed from the three-day weekend… a birthday party, time at the neighbors’ cabin, lots of food! Hope you had good times! Today, I learned about a writing challenge launched by The Domino Project, a publishing site. The inspiration comes from celebrating Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 208th birthday–someone who urged others to [...]
