Today’s 31 Days of Free Writes word is PURPLE. CONFESSION. A few weeks ago Kate sent out a survey for readers/bloggers/whoever to pick words for the 31 Days of Freewrites. I filled out the survey with a ton of REALLY RANDOM words and guess which word was one of them? Yup that’s right this word […]
Day 7 – LOVE
Today’s 31 Days of Free Writes word is LOVE. LOVE. When I saw this word on the list I was kind of nervous. I had some ideas of what to write about but I wasn’t sure what I would write. I have so many thoughts and ideas on this word and there’s so many directions […]
Not Alone Series: ADULTING
I have merged todays word for 31 Days of Blogging and the Not Alone Series Prompt together to write about the word ADULTING. ADULTING. How are you still connected to your family of origin (that’s the one you grew up in: parents, siblings, and extended family) even as you are adulting (a.k.a. living as […]
Day 5 – HOME
Today’s 31 Days of Free Writes word is HOME. HOME. Let me start off with the most CLICHE line in the book for this word and say, “Home is Where the Heart Is.” I remember several years ago there was a movie with the same name. The main thing I remember is this lady in […]
Day 4 – EMBRACE
Today’s 31 Days of Free Writes word is EMBRACE. EMBRACE. What is the first thing you think of when you think of this word? A hug of course. I am currently very intrigued by the website Urban Dictionary. As I get older (and really I don’t even feel like I’m that old) there are more and […]
Day 3 – CAPTURE
I know it’s only Day 3 but I already have some insight about this challenge. I’ve been reading some posts on the different words and I love how different we take the words. For example on Monday we wrote on the word “CALLING.” I wrote about how we’re all called to different things in life. […]
Day 2 – FAMILY
Today’s 31 Days of Free Writes word comes from our weekly Five Minute Friday Link-UP. FAMILY. Family is something that everyone can relate to. Some have good family’s. Some have bad ones. Some have family’s full of drama (probably most of us). But most of the time family are the people you can count on being […]
What is Your CALLING?
Welcome to the FIRST DAY of the 31 Days of Blogging Challenge! Each day I am going to be writing for 5 minutes about a different word. I’m joining a lot of the Five Minute Fridayers with a list of words over at Kate Motaung’s blog. Some people are taking the words and writing […]
NAS: FLIRTING
Welcome back to another week of the Not Alone Series. This may be my last one until November as I’m doing the 31 Days of Blogging challenge in October. Depending on the topics in October I may be able to merge my NAS posts in with my 31 Days posts as each day I am blogging […]
Entertainment Culture in 8 Lines
I’ve been thinking about something lately. Why does everything we do have to be entertaining? Everyday I hear about people not doing things – going to school, church, work, etc – because they are boring. But when did we start only doing “fun” things? If we only did “fun” and “entertaining” things nothing would ever […]
Not Alone Series: 5 Love Languages
It has been a CRAZY SUMMER. With a lot of changes for everyone including our Not Alone Series. I want to thank and congratulate Lindsay and Rachel on taking on the reigns of running the Not Alone Series link-up. I’ve missed the series over the summer and look forward to new topics and blogs as we start a […]
Creepy Dating
The prompt I am wring on this week is, “Write a post where the first and last sentence contain any form of the word “creep”” They are all Creeps. That was the text I received from my cousin after another awful online date. What do you call a date you had with someone you met […]
Five Minute Friday: FIND
GO FIND. I kind of cheated this week and I read Kate’s post first. I’m not sure if that is allowed. After reading her post it reminded me of something similar to what she wrote in terms of the word FIND. A few years ago (okay more like 12ish years ago)..scary how time flies. We were […]
7 Quick Takes Friday {Volume 130}
— 1 — The local news station posted this article about this girl in Indiana that took vows to be a consecrated virgin. The wording in this isn’t that great and I find it interesting that secular news promoted this. I feel like they are just looking for clickbait and don’t read the comments […]
Five Minute Friday: LEARN
GO LEARN. I LOVE to learn. I was always that nerdy kid in school that didn’t mind the homework and the projects. I was relieved and sad at the same time when I graduated college and had to enter the “real world” with no more classes or learning. I sometimes do take classes for fun […]
