solsc.2012: she's coming 23/31

Join the challenge and write!
Slice of Life Stories hosted by the

It's Friday
the last day
before spring break
and she's coming.

She's coming! 
She's really, 
really coming!!

She leaves 
early this morning
before the sun even decides
to peek beyond the horizon.

She'll hop in the car
with music and audiobooks
and lots of time to think,
so paper for scribbles of slices.

She'll drive and drive and drive
stop for a rest and drive
and drive and fill up on gas
and drive and drive and drive.

Almost ten hours later
she'll arrive.
She'll be here!
She'll be all smiles and hugs!!

Be safe, my momma.
Let the angels
travel with you
watching, loving, protecting.

    Michelle,
    I think you might be looking forward to the visit from your momma. I'm sure she is looking forward to it as well. The repetition and short phrases really help to capture your feelings of excitement. Safe travels to your mom.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
