today:  i anticipate the long weekend ahead

today:  i could feel the excitement before a much-needed break
want to be:  snuggled up in bed reading a book without interruption
blessings:  my God, my family, my home, and my profession
thinking: i'm too tired to write with that feeling of no words to share
planning:  each of the next five days with family and friends and too much food
writing:  a little slice of life today
loving:  the peace and quiet right now
grateful:  for a loving family, a toasty-warm home ...

and today {again}: i anticipate the long weekend ahead

This go-to easy-format quick-thinking in-the-moment writing idea is compliments to:

"It's a single print out of the busy cycle of life, a pause, a way to plan, 
and to remember to breathe in the midst of the everyday."

  1. Your quick-writing in-the-moment writing prompts looks good enough to try. Thank you for sharing it. (that's really not a subject-verb disagreement; i'm thinking of "prompts" as a singular thing, since altogether they work as a unit. And maybe you can tell I'm a copy editor?)

  2. Thank you for sharing your heart-felt list about your today. xo

    You've also inspired me to try it as I, too, could not think of words to share. I seem to collect drafts and finish them way past the Tuesday link-up. :0)

  3. I think many of us are feeling the same way right now: tired, yet excited for the few days off that lie ahead. I hope they are good ones for you!

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer."
