So rumor has it today ends something and tomorrow starts something new. Personally I don’t get it. What does January 1st start anyway, other that an arbitrary calendar? I mean some dude with a god complex and the money and political clout to back it says: “Name a month after me, and make it the […]
Last week for the 100 Word Challenge we had a 50/ 50 Word challenge. Basically one person started something with 50 words last week, so that others could than finish it with 50 words this week. The prompt being The Season. My entry was a bit out of the box (which I guess is not […]
The holiday season is one filled with contradictions. It is a season of good cheer that stands out more because it is mixed with the killer instinct (Mall shopping for instance. Or parking lots.) A season of cursing the weather while hoping it snows that one day. A season of sharing love with your family … when […]
I recently made The Vow. This was a necessary step in my reawakening to a world that I have done my best to hide from in recent years. I am taking The Vow seriously, but I found that I am still lacking something. It is all well and good to devote myself to living MY life, but […]
One of the beauties of the blogging world is it is a world were we can challenge each other to greatness, while at the same time unite in creating this greatness. We inspire each other, and as a result the world improves one word at a time. The 100 Word Challenge for Adults is a perfect example […]

Food is on the mind, especially the kind of food that screams: "Festivities are to be had!!" As payment for giving us a place to sleep, the hostess of the recent party weekend had us […]
Now that I have dealt with the unexpected bit of emotional dross dredged up by this weeks prompt, it is time to roll up the sleeves and do some creating. I guess more antacid for the soul was called for. To remind, the prompt is to adjust a favorite carol to the theme of Christmas dinner, while keeping rhythm and […]
It is that time again. Time for the 100 Word Challenge for Grownups. This one is the beginning of series of seasonally inspired journeys into creativity, or so I am led to believe. And no doubt there will once again be a whole slew of amazing contributions, as the number of participants in the challenge seems […]
