Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

PROMPTuesdays

PROMPTuesday #226: The Thank-You List

You may know the “thank-you list” as “giving gratitude” and it is exactly what you think: writing down the people, places, and things you are grateful to have in your life. Gurus (and Oprah) advise that speaking your gratitude to the universe is a powerful exercise that enacts a simple but fundamental shift in thinking…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #225: Write a Review

Well there. I gave it all away in the title. But yes, lately I’m obsessed with reviews from real people who’ve used the real things and can tell me whether or not whatever it is turned out to be a good purchase, read, or visit.   And for some super clothes coveting fun, read all…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #224: The Years

A therapist gave me the upcoming as an assignment once: write down the major events of each year, including but not limited to memories, impressions, mental photographs, and anything else that defined that year for me. At the time, I was only 30 and so this exercise didn’t take too long because my memory still…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #223: Prom

When taking the kids to camp this morning, an old Bryan Adams song popped on the radio and BAM! I was gone in my head, motivating Toots to finally ask, “Was this your prom song?” Despite wondering how a nine-year-old could make that immediate assumption (repeated High School Musical viewings?), I had to acknowledge that…Continue Reading

California

The long and meandering response to this week’s PROMPTuesday…   Eight months after I graduated from college, I took a job as a receptionist at a Milwaukee law firm. It wasn’t what I wanted to do, but after living with my parents for a brief time in San Diego, I decided to really be a…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #222: California

  I think it’s only right to resurrect PROMPTuesdays if I’m to go whole hog with this one-post-a-day effort. Plus, I’ve missed making up prompts that only I do or don’t do and is anyone out there anymore?   It’s OK. Sometimes it’s good to write in a vacuum.   So here’s the original post…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

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

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

PROMPTuesday #214: Happy Trails

This is a repeat prompt that I’m posting again because we just returned from a vacation to Southern Utah and I’m quite certain it’ll be one of those trips my kids remember forever, probably because we stopped in VEGAS! first and once we arrived in the mountains, it was the coldest my San Diego kids…Continue Reading

PROMPTuesday #213: Kodachrome

I wrote the below a year or so ago and it often makes me think of indelible moments – those mass of seconds you remember forever, down to the vinegary smell of just cleaned counters and the temperature of the hot chocolate your mom pressed into your little hands as you watched the Banana Splits…Continue Reading
