{write now} #sos




Right now ...

I am at a loss for words.
My fingers are empty.
The white page taunts me and I return the blank stare.
And then I was reminded to just write.
Just write.
Just write.

Write now ...

The sun radiates the bright blue sky without a cloud in sight.
The warm breeze sending leaves dancing and cotton puffs floating.
The house is peacefully quiet, except the tick-tock tick-tock of the clock,
a lawn mower in the far distance cutting healthy green blades of grass,
And the girls voices traveling down the hall from their upstairs bathroom
together creating special art with their hair.




Simplicities of life.
Find them
in every moment.
That's how you
Just write.

    I love that picture of your girls, and that last stanza. Simplicities of life--yes.

    Yes simplicity in life and you just sat in the moment and noticed. That's writing and capturing life.

    You make the words flow so easily with "nothing" to write about. It's all about simplicity and the tiny joys in life. Thanks for sharing. Love ya, Mom

    Sometimes it is a little nudge, a small invitation that we need to get the fingers moving and the words arriving. And the writing doesn't have to be grand - the ordinary moment, the right now, is plenty.

{#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...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
