A Writing Prompt for You . . .
I found this when I was cleaning off my nine-year-old son’s “work table”: “But when we saw the light, …” I read it and smiled, wondering about the story in his mind. I love that he used a comma and that he drew it like a colored-in dot with a tail. I… Continue reading

What Inspires You?
Inspiration is defined as “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.” I’ve read and re-read that definition about ten times while staring at the blinking cursor here and it wasn’t until the tenth time that I realized how incredible it is to be inspired.

On Being in the Mood…
Do you ever find that you are not in the mood to write? That you’d rather just sit and veg out, or sleep, or stare at a blank wall? That you’d rather do anything other than fire up the laptop? Do you have days where writing or blogging seem like a gargantuan effort and you… Continue reading

Back into the Groove . . .
Tonight I attempt to get back into the blogging groove with a short, simple post. Thanks for coming back. I’m immersed again in my yoga book: The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice, by T.K.V. Desikachar, and wanted to share. Here’s a verse I found in the “Yoganjalisaram” section: Respect parents, avoid evil, seek… Continue reading
