Writing Wednesday! Monthly Writing Challenge!

Hi everyone!  The second Wednesday of each month I will be posting a new writing challenge and some online sites where you can publish your piece!  Our challenge for this month:  

Write about the most interesting or inspirational place you have ever visited.  
You can write a poem, short story or an informational piece on this subject....it's up to you!  

We are entering our third week for this current challenge!  One more week to go!  If you've taken this challenge and published your work online, please leave a link in the comments below so that we can all check it out!  If you've never published any pieces online, please see the list below for sites that are friendly to new writers. They are easy to join and have a social network type atmosphere....great places to meet and share your work with other writers!  A bonus with the three sites listed below:  they pay!

Nature......

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.  ~John Burroughs






Feeling harried, rushed?  Busy weekend?  Worried about all that you have to do next week?  Get out of the house....take a walk!  Take a break from your Blackberry, Ipad, Ipod, computer, telephone, and T.V.  Look around at nature and enjoy the silence.  A quiet walk will usually help to clear your head and get you ready for the week ahead.  Make it a Sunday tradition.....


Happy Sunday everyone!!! :-)

THEORY Thursday........

My THEORY of the week:

If we all took the time to truly look at the world around us, we would discover that miracles are still happening.


We usually associate "miracles" with Biblical times.  They require walking on water, healing lepers, etc.   However, everyday miracles are all around us.  News reports of the rescue of the Chilean miners who were trapped underground for two months, cancer patients in remission, troubled teens who grow up to be productive citizens, healthy 100 year olds, newborn babies....these are all miracles too.  Sometimes, we focus so much on the negative stuff that it's hard to see the wonderful aspects of our lives.

So....today....prove my theory!  Take a peek at the good side and discover the wonderful miracles in your life.  I think you'll find a few!  I know that I have at least 2 little miracles to be thankful for...and they both call me "mom"!

Have a great day everyone!!!  :-)
