PROMPTuesday #221: The Moving

[I’m re-posting this recent writing prompt because tomorrow, I’m speaking on a panel about Moving With Kids: How Does it Affect Them? This is a topic I’m agog over because I moved 12 times in 10 years as a child and I feel strongly that those upheavals were the best things to happen to me. It’s…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #220: Questing

  My favorite books as a kid always involved a voyage of some sort – usually to a wondrous land full of magic and possibility that desperately needed the main character to save it from encroaching darkness and leave the place better than he or she found it. Of course, the protagonist had to leave…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #219: Secret, On Repeat

I’m re-posting this prompt from 175 Tuesdays ago because it’s a favorite.   Here we go: Tell me a secret. Of course, I’d prefer it be a true secret. And about you. But I know where that can lead, and perhaps you’re not prepared for it. So let me addendum this: If you’d rather, write…Continue Reading

Being Healthy: What Works for Me Right Now

I’m just back from another doctor appointment. This one was to ensure I don’t have a bicuspid aortic valve with a corresponding dilated aorta. It’s a congenital defect and unfortunately, it looks like my youngest brother got the short end of the stick with that one, but he’s on top of it and all is…Continue Reading

Over 40 and Doctor-Bound: Is This a Thing?

Tomorrow is a day of many medical follow-ups, which I’ve been putting off because problems disappear if you ignore them right? That’s what my brain told me. But I suppose it’s time to pay the piper and face the music because my doctor finally called and basically said, “stop being a pansy and get in…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #218: The Moment

  Today’s writing prompt is inspired by this uplifting story at KirstyTV.   What was the moment when you knew your life had to change?   Please post your response in the comments or write about it on your blog and leave me the link.   First time to PROMPTuesday? Read a bit about it here.…Continue Reading

What Now?

  We were headed to the mall. The girls had the day off school and I’d given in to their repeated requests to “get a frozen yogurt and window shop,” even when I knew full well we’d end up with greasy food court fare and bags from Justice.   I mean, I’m human. Sometimes I…Continue Reading

The Ghost Story

I first sensed something odd Memorial Day weekend. It was Sunday, and The Rock and the kids spent the day at a friend’s picnic while I caught up on work at home. Around five or so, I put the computer away and collapsed on the couch to clear my head. I’m not sure what first…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #217: The Last Thing

Ready for today’s writing prompt? It’s easy and selfish: Oh Target, where would I be without ye?   What’s the last thing you bought for your home or apartment? Was it a picture? A pillow? What prompted the purchase? Were you having a CAbi party and didn’t want to be embarrassed by your dead and…Continue Reading

Heading In

  I’ve found it hard to write here lately, or actually, write and publish. People haven’t noticed, or perhaps they have, as when I visited a psychic several months ago, she seemed to pick up”creative” silence, telling me that I’ve shut down my voice and desperately needed to open it again, suggesting I wear a…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #216: The One Thing

  The question caught me by surprise. “Mom? When are you going to finish your book?”   I deflected. “Soon.” My brain raced through the reasons for my answer: too much work, health issues, rapid time slippage, not enough days.   “Have you written anything in it this year?”   I calculated the month –…Continue Reading

Menopause, Take 44!
