It's late. I haven't written a thing.

 This week I scribbled some ideas and seeds in my notebook. But time has not allowed me the opportunity to just write.

 Particularly because of our newest obsession with a TV show.

 Now, here is what you need to know. I watch minimal TV. But so many people encouraged us to just watch.

 I'm thankful for "on demand" TV. The entire season ready to watch right at my fingertips.

 Weeks ago we started watching.

 Almost every night we watched yet another episode. Sometimes two.

 Tonight the last two episodes waited. And we had to watch both. I put my schoolbag to the side. My laptop remained closed. Slicing would have to wait until later.

 We watched and cried and couldn't believe the ending ... there's one more episode, right?

 Oh, when does the next season of This Is Us start again?

 Because I know that this story is worth watching.  And it's ...  Time for us.  Together.

    I was just talking to someone else who told me how much they love this show. I think I will have to look for it.

    This is Us pulls at the heart and shows the reality of relationships. Wish I saved the episodes to watch with Jeff!

    Time for us is important. It will be a long summer without Jack and Rebecca and their three kids.

    Sometimes there is actually something worth watching. Have yet to check out this show, but sounds like it's a "Must See". Love ya, 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-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...
