Dear Minnesota Vikings: I have to confess it hasn’t always been easy to be a Vikings fan. But last night’s win… Woke up this morning wondering if that really happened. Thank you. Thank you for giving us a game that had us at the edge of our seats, hearts pounding. Thank you for winning with…

No excuses
If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't…~Jim Rohn#motivation #quotes #NoExcuses pic.twitter.com/6YODAz3y8y — ActionComplete (@ActionComplete) January 13, 2018 I’m pretty good at coming up with excuses for not doing something. For not staying at my goal weight. For not working out. For not writing. There’s always some weak excuse…
A well-worn seat
If I’m working on Morning Pages, I’m most likely sitting in the living room in my favorite spot: the corner seat on the couch, next to the side table and lamp. If I’m working on my Bullet Journal, ditto. Blog posts, same. Designing a Canva graphic or poster for The Adaptations, again, that’s where you’ll…
Tomorrow, tomorrow…
Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well. — Mark Twain I’m a pretty good procrastinator. The only reason I’m getting these assignments done on time is that I was also a teacher’s pet in school. I never wanted to disappoint my teacher. But if it’s a matter of…

One night we got to talking about games, dominoes and card games, specifically. For as long as I can remember, my dad’s been playing dominoes with the…
Hope
I’m having a very hard time with this assignment. I thought that the lists of words I had to choose from for this “one-word prompt” were pretty straight-forward and I chose the word “hope” because I thought I had a lot to say, or write, about it. Turns out everything I write is cheesy,…
Top Five Things I’m Pretty Good At
Time for my second homework assignment in the Finding Everyday Inspiration course and this one is right down my alley: lists. I’m doing this assignment a little different this time and providing my list in the form of an infographic. I love making lists, but I also wanted to add a visual to go with…
The Sunday Post: Why I write
If we were having coffee this morning, it would be “magic coffee.” After sleeping in on this cold Sunday morning, we decided there really was no good reason for us to leave the house today. Groceries can wait until tomorrow — we have leftovers we can warm up for dinner. Which brings me to the…
Revisiting The Red Sweater
Two years ago I participated in one of WordPress’s Blogging University courses as I tried to hone my writing and blogging skills. One of my favorite assignments at the time was the challenge to write a story based on the given prompt, but from three points of view. I was pretty proud of the original…
