PROMPTuesday #85: What Moves You
I’m having a hard time feeling the holidays this season. It’s bothering me, all this groping for meaning and coming up empty. So…would you share something that’s moved you recently? Or a spiritually uplifting moment you’ve experienced? Where were you? What happened? I would love to know. I think it could spark something in…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #84: I Never
You know that game “I Never?” I’m the absolute worst at it. Mainly because I’ve never done anything outlandish or too illegal or controversial. I avoid the game at all costs without fail, because at the ripe old age of 41, I still end up looking like a lame Puritan. It’s embarrassing. I mean,…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #82: Is Almost 41
I’ve long been frustrated by my astrological sign. As a November 22 birthday, I dangle on the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius, and oft wish to be one or the other so I’m not loafing about in no man’s land. I feel identity-less, especially when people say, “He’s such a Taurus,” or “Well, what…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #81: Open It Up
Sometimes the simplest things nudge us irrevocably in one direction or another. That’s my thinking this week as I introduce today’s PROMPT. Start off with an uncomplicated, “I never knew…” and see what path you travel down as you write. Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #79: The Story Starter
Here we go! This week, use the below in your first paragraph somewhere: “You’re not going to win you know.” She couldn’t look at him when she said it. “Maybe not. But I take heart in knowing that neither one of us will be the same when it’s all over.” He pushed the…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #78: The Secret Cave
So today my pediatrician says, “Influenza,” and I say, “Are you thinking H1N1?” and he says, “I AM thinking H1N1 because it is the only strain out there right now,” and I say, “But H1N1 isn’t supposed to be real…it’s supposed to be a construct of my imagination that slowly drives me insane until April,”…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #76: Waz Up In There?
It’s story time! Today’s PROMPT is: A new maid comes to your home to clean, and as you’re about to leave to run an errand, you find her to say you’ll be right back, but instead of dusting, you see her in your bathroom rifling through your medicine cabinet. Tell the rest of…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #75: Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda
Today’s PROMPT comes courtesy of Mama Mary, and it’s a doozy. In a good, thinkey kind of way. I’m going to let her explain your mission for today (actually, you’ve got several days to do this…): “Let’s say I am casting for a new reality tv show/web series called “Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda.” Either…Continue Reading
