sols: one little note

Slice of Life hosted at the 
Join in and share a slice of your life.



Have you ever had one of "those" days?
A day where you feel deflated and exhausted?  Busy and unbalanced?
And then in one little moment your day turned right side up?

An email arrived in the middle of the day with
an unexpected note from a friend with impeccable timing
that whispered, "I'm thinking of you and hope all is well."

Thoughtful words that --
Made me smile.
Gave me strength.
Filled my soul.

So, do me a favor?
Go now. Send an email to a friend.
Let them know you are thinking of them.

A gift of words reaching out
that meant the world to me.
Let your words do the same for another.

    What a great reminder. I just received an email from a student today that made me smile as well - mentioning something he appreciated. It is always nice to receive emails like that giving feedback on what is working. I am glad that your friend decided to send you this message and that the timing was perfect for you!

    Not only did this little note cheer you up but inspired a lovely poem also. I took upon your advice and sent a little note to a friend. Thank you for sharing and thank you for writing. Hug.

    A note, a smile, a hug - that's all it takes to turn our day around. So glad that you received a warm fuzzy to brighten your day! You are thought about and prayed for each and every day. Love ya, Mom.

    You're so, so right, Michelle. Sending a little love with notes brightens both the sender and the receiver! Happy Valentine's Day!

{#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-i...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...
